Beth Heffernan’s Summary

Design of Experiments is the strategy that helped me patent my work at Hewlett Packard. I strongly believe that more scientists and engineers will enjoy their work and retain America's great inventive heritage by employing Design of Experiments. Our training makes DOE accessible to everyone, in a painless and practical fashion.

  Objective Design of Experiments offers scientists and engineers the most successful strategy for swift and comprehensive project and problem solving. We teach DOE in a practical and non-theoretical way, using exercises throughout the training, so you learn to use the software along with the DOE method.

• Manufacturing Chemist

  Hewlett-Packard

  (Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; HPQ; Information Technology and Services industry)

  June 1981 — May 1988 (7 years)

  I worked alongside the R&D team developing the first color inkjet printer, the Paintjet. My team was responsible for developing the ink production process, as well as for other components of the inkjet pen. I received patents for two processes used in the inkjet pen production.

• Laboratory Supervisor

  Acurex Corporation

  (Public Company; 501-1000 employees; Environmental Services industry)

  1978 — 1981 (3 years)

  Acurex was charged by the EPA to sample and analyze air, water, and solid samples from various public energy providers. I was part of the sampling crew for half my time at Acurex, gaining good knowledge of sampling and sample preservation techniques. I was then promoted to laboratory supervisor, with six technicians reporting to me.
