the associated risks. The capstone courses are a two-course seniorcapstone experience. In the first semester, the students prepare a proposal to redesign either aprocess or product for measurable, dramatic improvement. The projects affect realmanufacturing and airport processes and products. In the second semester, students redesign andimplement the improved process or product. The goal of the process redesign projects istypically to dramatically reduce process set-up time or process run time. Moreover, studentsmust be made aware that process improvement must not decrease safety; rather the students mustimprove safety while improving other process performance measures. While there are manyinclusions of product redesign in papers discussing

With the added experience of the UROP symposium, the paper is then being re-written with substantial input from the faculty advisor, and is being submitted to a double-blind-plus- expert peer-reviewed professional conference later in the year, with their names preceding the advisor’s. Thus, what started as a freshman assignment will reach the level of at least being submitted to full paper professional peer review.4.5 Technical ResultsThe first overall technical result is that the conceptual design choices have been linked all theway to estimating
