Lockheed CEO to Deliver Sheffield Address at Yale University

New Haven, CT -- Norman Augustine, president and chief executive officer of Lockheed Martin Co., will present the next Sheffield Fellowship address at Yale University on Tuesday, Nov. 5. Mr. Augustine, a former Assistant Secretary of the Army, will speak on "Explosions, Crashes, and Collapses: A Post-Graduate Engineering Education" at 4:30 p.m. in Sudler Auditorium, W. L. Harkness Hall, 100 Wall St. The public is invited.

In 1958, Mr. Augustine joined the Douglas Aircraft Co., where he was program manager and chief engineer. He served in the Office of the Secretary of Defense beginning in 1965 as assistant director of defense research and engineering. In 1970, he joined the LTV Missiles and Space Co. as vice president of advanced programs and marketing. He returned to government in 1973 as Assistant Secretary of the Army, and became Under Secretary in 1975.

Joining Martin Marietta Corp. in 1977, he was promoted to CEO and chairman in 1987 and 1988, respectively. He served as president of Lockheed Martin upon the formation of that company in 1995, and became CEO and vice chairman this year.

Mr. Augustine, who received both his bachelor's and master's degrees in aeronautical engineering form Princeton University, has four times been awarded the Department of Defense's highest civilian decoration, the Distinguished Service Medal, and has received the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, the Army Distinguished Service Medal, the Air Force Exceptional Service Medal, and numerous other government honors as well as 10 honorary academic degrees. He also is chairman of the American Red Cross and has served as national chairman of the U.S. Savings Bond Campaign as well as on numerous governmental advisory committees, including that of the National Aeronautic and Space Administration.

The Sheffield Fellowship was established earlier this year to honor the Sheffield Scientific School at Yale. Founded in 1852 to train engineers, the School produced some of the greatest inventors and industrial leaders of the 19th and 20th centuries before it was absorbed into the growing Yale Faculty of Arts and Sciences in the mid-1940's.

The Sheffield fellowship brings to Yale leaders and innovators in business, industry, and government who are at the forefront of important developments in their fields. In addition to presenting a lecture, the Fellow tours laboratories and classrooms, and meets with faculty and students. Informal discussions with members of various student organizations provide career perspectives in engineering and related fields, said D. Allan Bromley, Dean of Engineering and sponsor of the Fellowship.
