Systems and methods to ensure robustness for engineering autonomy

Methods and systems are provided for evaluating robustness of engineering components. An example method includes receiving an engineering problem definition for a multidimensional engineering domain of an engineering component, in which the engineering problem definition includes a description of a plurality of engineering features of the engineering component. Executing an optimal stratified sampling algorithm that obtains a plurality of probabilistic samples from the multidimensional engineering domain. Selecting optimal combinations of higher fidelity models, reduced order models and response surfaces for execution of the probabilistic samples. Executing the probabilistic samples using the selected combinations to determine a respective engineering response for each engineering feature of the plurality of engineering features. Generating a robustness scorecard for the engineering component based on the determined engineering responses to quantify a robustness score for each engineering feature of the plurality of engineering features. Presenting the robustness scorecard to a user.
