NASA Engineer Explains How Engineers Make Decisions

I’m Ali Alqaraghuli, a full time postdoctoral fellow at NASA JPL working on terahertz antennas, electronics, and software.

I make videos to train and inspire the next generation of engineers.

The opinions in this video are my own and do not represent NASA or any other organization.

Engineer ali, you're one of the very few people who actually appreciate our time and makes and actual useful stuff

[kahpyvara]

Love your channel, even though you make me want to change my major from mechanical to electrical every time you post

[manueduardo]

This applied to studies, sports and other areas of life is a hack

[postmur]

your videos are amazing, can you make please some about elon musk concepts, "platonic ideal of perfect product", or "try limits to extreme values and see benefits etc.. " any problem is scaled right up and scaled right down to assess the changes

I'm an engineering student, I find your videos extremely useful, thank u so much. ❤‍🔥

This is interesting trying to understand how NASA management is structured. I guess you are the systems engineering for your project because the goal is most related to your specific field of expertise so you would be most capable of evaluating the subsystems in relation to the desired function of the product. You're able to identify the failure modes best and define the design criteria for the other disciplines in relation to the goal.
