Robust Engineering

Who should take this course

Any engineer will significantly benefit from this course. It gives any systems engineer a quantum leap in terms of capability to assist in the improvement of any design. The reliability techniques and the Taguchi methods can be applied to anything, whether it is the design of a home appliance, or the most complex space system. Robust engineering requires the use of advanced mathematical models. The way in which they are presented in the course make it easy to understand and master. The course is unique as it involves the building of a system or an artefact, to which the methods learned in class can be applied in order to improve the design and the performance of the system. It is a combination of solid and rigorous conceptual education, coupled with a most exciting and fun hands-on experimentation. Any engineer, no matter what background, will find extremely useful the methods addressed in this course. No wonder SERE has become the most popular elective in the Systems Engineering program!
