Retired Lockheed Martin CEO, Norm Augustine, speaking at the Aviation and Aerospace Manufacturing Summit in Ft. Worth, TX last week, called upon industry and government to promote more STEM education in the US. "Failure to do so . . . will undermine the U.S. economy, security and place as a world leader." Competing with knowledge-based resources will be one way that the US can recover and retain primacy in the global marketplace, according to Augustine, who points the finger at US education and investments rather than China, saying, "we have met the enemy, and it is us." http://www.star-telegram.com/2012/10/10/4326721/ex-lockheed-chief-invest-in-science.html
