Wensveen discusses expansion of school's focus

WLFI, the West Lafayette CBS affiliate, talked with John Wensveen, head of the School of Aviation and Transportation Technology, after the October 2015 Purdue Board of Trustees meeting to discuss the new name of his academic unit.

The transition from Department of Aviation Technology to a school will not only enhance Purdue’s Aviation program, but also create the foundation to look at other modes of transport, hypothetically road, rail, water and space.

“It’s still too early at this stage, so what we are doing really is building a house,” Wensveen told WLFI. “We have a very firm foundation, we have walls, and we have a very solid roof.”
