opportunity todemonstrate their engineering prowess. The problem was that there was much engineering workleft to be completed on the project, and there were not enough students and faculty committed tothe work. In addition, the students who were committed to the project did not have enough timein their busy schedules to satisfactorily complete the prototype. As the situation was discussed ina faculty meeting two days before the start of that fall semester, an idea began to form in themind of a faculty member who is also the primary author of this paper.Having had seven years of experience in the aerospace industry with Hughes Aircraft Company,Space and Communications Group, working in the area of satellite dynamics and controlsystems, this author

This is particularly true in industrial sectorswith stringent requirements on part quality such as the aerospace and healthcare sectors. Oneapproach to overcome this challenge that has recently been receiving increasing attention isprocess monitoring and real-time process control to enhance part quality and repeatability.
