An important axiom in innovation is “Fail early, fail often, but learn from the failures.” This talk discusses an academic-industrial statistical engineering project that initially had good prospects for success but ultimately provided virtually no benefit to the industrial partner although it did produce a nice dissertation for the PhD student assigned to the project. It is crucial to note...

In this presentation, we present a case study that results from a multi-stage project supported by NASA’s Engineering Safety Center (NESC) where the objective was to assess the safety of composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs). The analytical team was tasked with devising a test plan to model stress rupture failure risk in carbon fiber strands that encase the COPVs with the goal of...

The International Statistical Engineering Association (ISEA) defines statistical engineering as "the discipline dedicated to the art and science of solving complex problems that require data and data analysis." Statistical Engineering emphasizes the importance of understanding the problem and its context before developing a problem-solving strategy. While this step may appear obvious, it is...
