Spring 2021 DRI: Ishan Saini
Confluence Page: Design of Experiments - Mechanical - Confluence (atlassian.net)
Design of experiments is looking to be applied in the Material Testing Project.
The goal of this project is for the team to gain familiarity with design of experiments software and see how it can improve the processes. The Material Testing Project would be the focused experiment or trial run of this.
In Spring 2021, Ishan is conducting research in the use of JMP software and how it can be applied in the team’s General Testing.
