What do you for a living?

I think the lack of response is due to the fact that people put this info (or whatever they want to share) in their profile. I work as a Senior QA Engineer for a large consumer packaged goods company.

It is interesting to note that as a statistician, I am supposed to be interested in studying and analyzing variation, but as a QA Engineer, I am being paid to abhor variation and design systems to eliminate and/or minimize it....

I am working on improving the quality of statistical education for engineers at my university (where I teach).
I am curious what you (and any other engineers!) use most by way of statistical methodology, and also
what statistical software is used most often in engineering settings. Any suggestions/comments/recommendations?

You pick up any Python (NumPy/SciPy) or MATLAB experience in your program?

Undergrad at Sacramento State Engineering.. Work testing, analyzing, and characterizing experimental memory chips.

Learning Python.. still a noob tho.. Lots of MATLAB, usually for solving large systems of non-linear equations, and outputting pretty plots for my LaTex reports. But my job uses R, and I've been replacing many of my MATLAB workflows with R. (MATLAB is expensive and I'm too cheap to buy it for my personal computers.)

I've a Ph.D in Experimental Psychology doing research in human associative learning. Got my stats training at the University of Vermont with David Howell (univariate) & Larry Gordon (multivariate).
I like to think I have a fair grasp of the stats I use, but I'm firmly on the consumer end of the procedures. I'm the guy who takes your tools and abuses them.
