Happy's Essential Skills:
Problem Solving
Related to TQC and a very im-
portant role of an engineer is
solving problems. Using a prob-
lem-solving methodology is a
job that all engineers will use
sooner or later, but if you are
in product or process engineer-
ing in manufacturing, it will be
sooner! This was the situation that introduced me
to printed circuit manufacturing.

Happy's Essential Skills:
Design of Experiments
Design of experi-
ments (DoE) is
one of the most
powerful and in-
fluential engineer-
ing tools for prod-
uct yield improve-
ments, new prod-
ucts or processes development, or for problem
solving. As mentioned in my last column, process
problems led me to a career in printed circuits,
and quickly solving those problems led me to a
bonus stock award and a great life.
