To varying degrees, the past and current impediments faced have included: § A limited awareness and support for BME program development at the higher levels of university administration § Competitive pressures in the College of Engineering and the parent department (of Mechanical, Aerospace and Biomedical Engineering) resulting in a small BME faculty size and a restricted budget for BME § Limited program visibility and muted student enthusiasm for the programs offered § A small BME graduate programThe need to rapidly achieve

manufacturing adjustments. Another method is by analyzing existingcost data and utilizing that information to predict future cost. In turn, predictions can be madefor future project cost based on a specific variable such as number of units produced andadministrators can compare the benefits to cost. Moreover, this prediction can come in the formof an economic mathematical model which can be produced by using parametric cost estimationstrategies. An economical math model can be used in the Aerospace industry and applied to multiplespacecraft manufacturing projects. The results of the model will be significant because of apossible contribution in considerable cost reduction for the future manufacturing of multiplespacecraft production runs. This

As an alternative approach, some institutionsutilize flight simulation as an education tool to enhance the aerospace engineering curriculum [5,6, 7], for training flight instructors [8], and enhance the learning experience [9]. In addition toflight simulation as a means to understand the dynamics of flight and human factors associatedwith it, some institutions also offer courses on aircraft flight test using these flight simulator tools.The Department of Aerospace Science and Technology at Politecnico di Milano (DSTA-PoliMi)has developed a unique graduate course on flight testing that focuses on hands-on experience [10].Students are required
