We can create new knowledge. Deductive and inductive logic lets us examine our world and learn. For reliability, we are often faced with new situations.

Compare the situation, say, a new failure mechanism, with the failure mechanisms you already know something about. Each similarity and difference provides insights for new knowledge.

We can reason and should. Reliability engineering is a thinking person’s game. Learning to assemble knowledge and use logic helps us to find patterns, discern solutions, or develop innovations. Our ability to reason enables us to continue to grow the world’s knowledge.

Summary

One purpose of formal schooling is to learn how to learn. Reliability engineering has many tools and techniques that apply across a broad range of materials, products, and processes.

Our success as reliability professionals is in part our ability to learn and learn quickly. This paper described 14 ways you can approach the task of learning.

For any given situation you may find one or more of the above approaches useful. For example, you may first recognize the desire to learn about accelerated testing. After some reading you may conduct an experiment. Along the way you are learning.

The value we provide our organization is our knowledge. It is through an ongoing process of learning that we remain valuable.

You’re done with this course.

You know have many ways to learn reliability engineering. Go, learn, do great things. Enjoy what this field has to offer.
