Fuzzy Expectations into Engineering Reality: Quality Function Deployment”
Abstract: This presentation introduces the audience to the basics concepts of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) for aerospace systems.
The presentation will discuss the philosophy and purpose behind QFD, and how QFD can be applied to help derive firm system requirements from “fuzzy”
stakeholder expectations. They audience will be able to try their hand at building a QFD matrix for an intriguing problem.

In Memoriam: John Wirsbinski (1969 - 2009) (6 Jul 2009)
On April 24, 2009, a rising star in the Systems Engineering community was tragically removed from our midst. John Wirsbinski, 40, died in a motorcycle
accident leaving his wife, Shasta, and their twins, son Collens and daughter Lauren, without a beloved husband and father. As many of you know, John
was very active in the Systems Engineering community.
In addition to being a board member at large of the New Mexico Enchantment Chapter, he was also the co-chair of the Security Working Group, as well as
working on his Doctorate in Systems Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology.
For those desiring, a Memorial Fund has been set up to benefit the children. Donations can be made to the Wirsbinski Memorial Fund
