| Summary: |
Over the past decade, the author has met with directors of R & D departments in large industrial firms, who are frustrated by the lack of coherent and consistent methodologies in R & D projects. As a direct result the author was asked to design and present a seminar to provide R & D engineers and scientists a standard methodology for conducting coherent, rigorous, comprehensible, and consistent R & D projects. The author also realized that this training should be included in engineering and science curricula in universities and colleges. To this end, he designed and presented a pilot course |
