 been vetted by a survey of industrial professionals well-practiced in flight vehicle weightestimation – the results of which indicate the needs of a weight engineer revolve aroundthorough documentation of flight vehicle applicability, weight method processes and equations,and uncertainty. Transport aircraft validation cases have been applied to each entry in the AVDWeight Method Library in order to provide a sense of context and applicability to each method.This generic specification of a method library will be applicable for use by other disciplineswithin the AVD Lab, Post-Graduate design labs, or engineering design professionals.

technologies for the next generation B737/A320 sized transports; N+2represents hybrid-wing-body concepts and related technologies; N+3 represents subsonic andsupersonic concepts and technologies beyond hybrid-wing-body in the 2025+ timeframe. Theinitiation of this study by the NASA Langley Research Center is timely given the historicallysignificant changes currently being witnessed with: (1) technology (configuration, materials,propulsion), (2) economics (rising energy costs), (3) social (mobility), (4) environmental (noise,emissions, fuel consumption), (5) market (return on investment, job stability). Consequently, thehistorically established air transportation projections of transport capacity growth may becomeobsolete, thereby demanding a paradigm

. “Globalization presentsengineering educators with new challenges as they face the need for graduates who can functioncomfortably in an increasingly distributed team context which crosses country and culturalboundaries”16.Furthermore, both students and professors themselves comprise a diversity that is widelyacknowledged. If, for example, one “googles” the keywords “engineering school diversity professor student,” one will easily find a number of universities addressing the diversity of their student populations. When students work together, “it remains a big challenge for students with different educational backgrounds, practical experience and ethnic backgrounds, to coordinatetheir knowledge, thinking and activities”17. In addition, “googling” “diverse
