IntroductionIn 1991, the National Research Council stated that "U.S. industry’s period of world dominancein product design, manufacturing innovation, process engineering, productivity and marketshare has ended" [1]. This could have been a reaction to the sluggish economy, the downsizingof engineers and reduced funding for aerospace/defense and research in the US. However, inaddressing improvements necessary to develop new national goals, the Committee on Science,Engineering and Public Policy recommended that graduate education of scientists andengineers should be broader, more flexible and cross-functional [2].For the last 5 years, Loyola Marymount University (LMU) has addressed the above challengesin graduate education by forming a

flightperformance can be predictably related to the full-scale aircraft’s performance. Although manycompanies have performed scaled flight-testing of Remotely Piloted Vehicles (RPV’s),published non-proprietary information about low-cost, scaled flight-testing is essentially non-existent. The focus of the project at hand, therefore, is to compare the in-flight performancecharacteristics of a 1/3-scale flying "prototype" of a Cessna 172P to the well-documented in-flight performance characteristics of a full-scale Cessna 172P. Much flight testing has beendone by the Aerospace Engineering department at ERAU, using the 172P, such that using thisaircraft as the model for determining the validity of the scaling hypotheses is consideredtechnically sound.

Unfortunately, annual space launches are not practicalfor a number of reasons, principally cost and development time for a new mission. In the interimyears between space launches we launch and operate high-altitude research balloon payloadswith prototype designs. This provides students with the opportunity to command their “balloon-sat” and receive telemetry for a mission to altitudes in excess of 100,000 ft. The overlappingsequence of development

We find that though some of the content such as material conservation,work/energy concepts, chemical reactions, ideal gases, etc. are covered in these courses, studentsview the treatments in markedly different ways. Unlike the other courses, most students findengineering thermodynamics very difficult and confusing. We suggest there are several reasonsfor this. 1. The basic thermodynamics principles are set down in a few general laws first. Fromthese, the student is expected to master the technique of going from the general to the particular,that is, to understand the general laws well enough to decide which terms do or do not apply tospecific problems and to use his or her own

Coupled with advances in EDA, this goal has led overthe last few years to a shift from the old “find and fix” approach to a new “predict and prevent”paradigm10. Figure 1 illustrates the relationships between the various design functions that supportthis new approach. Here, the design starts with a virtual prototype and ends with complete designverification.
