Perhaps the best-known achievements of human-powered flights were crossing the English Channel (35.8 km) byBryan Allen pedaling the Gossamer Albatross on June 12, 1979, and later on April 23, 1988Kanellos Kanellopoulos established a distance record pedaling the Daedalus 88 from Crete toSantorini (119 km). Implementation of the herein suggested inflatable structure would reducethe weight of these competition aircrafts. The Gossamer Albatross weighed 32 kilograms and theDaedalus 88 weighed 31 kilograms.Currently the UK Royal Aeronautical Society organizes two human-powered flight competitionswith prizes of £50,000 and £100,000, see reference [12].

benefit is determined using a four-parameter “S-shaped” function of bridge strength.Grades are assigned using a weighted comparison of bridge profits (82%) and the group’saccuracy in predicting the strength of their bridge (18%) according to profit and accuracy gradestandards established at the beginning of the semester. Thus, although it is considered acompetition, students do not compete for grades, as there is a fixed and predetermined standardthat determines each project’s grade. The current group design project is intended to provide a range of learning experiencesfor the freshman engineers. First being a group project it is intended to introduce freshmanengineers to collaborative design and division of labor within a project. Second

. Their design choices will be evaluated on the basis of cost, biocompatibility,marketability, reliability and ultrafiltration coefficient. One key element to developing theengineering epistemic frame is that there is no optimal solution to the problem. That is, there is nosolution for which cost is minimized and the other performance criteria are maximized. Students willhave to find the solution(s) that best meet criteria of a diverse set of stakeholders, which is animportant part of the engineering professional practice. In Nephrotex, the stakeholders are a clinicalengineer, a manufacturing engineer and representatives from marketing and product support, allof whom are non-player characters like the head of research and development.
