Course in
Engineering. Paul is the author of two books: Design
of Experiments with MINITAB and Sample Size Calculations: Practical
Methods
for Engineers and Scientists. In
his free time, Paul and his wife Kathy race and cruise their
sailboat Whitehawk on
Lake Erie.
Rebecca (Bek) Malnar holds an AS in Mathematics from
Lakeland
Community College (1997) and a BS in Mathematics from Defiance
College
(1999). She has worked at MM&B Inc. since 1999 where she:
develops
and produces course materials; provides training in
statistics,
mathematics, and quality engineering; provides statistical
consulting
services; and writes custom software in VB, MINITAB, and other
programming environments. She is also a part-time instructor
at
Lakeland Community College. In her free time, Rebecca rescues
stray
animals and raises goats.
Bailey's official title is VP of Security, however, due to his
recent
tax and gambling problems he is on a permanent leave of

MM&B Inc. In his free time, which is considerable, he
chases
anything with legs or wheels.
