Industrial Design of Experiments

Sammy G. Shina, Ph.D., P.E., is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering (ME) at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. His research interests and teaching include six sigma, design of experiments, statistical quality control, product design and manufacturing, engineering project management, and green electronics. He is the founder of the New England Lead Free Electronics Consortium, which researches, tests, and evaluates materials and processes for lead- free RoHS compliance and conversion to nanotechnology. The consortium received the EPA regional Merit award. Dr. Shina has worked and consulted for a number of technology companies developing new products and state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies.He received BS degrees in Electrical Engineering and Industrial Management from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, an MS in Computer Science from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Tufts University. He is the author of several books and more than 120 papers on concurrent engineering, six sigma, green design, and engineering project management.
