Course Objective

The DOE and analysis of variance approach can economically satisfy the needs of problem solving and product/process design optimization projects. By learning and applying this technique, engineers, scientists, and researchers can significantly reduce the time required for experimental investigations.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   1. Understand the importance of analysis of variance
2   2. Learn the experimental designs most widely used in practice
3   3. Choose an appropriate experimental design based on the study objectives
4   4. Construct and implement the design selected
5   5. Analyse the data collected based on the design used and its underlying assumptions
6   6. Interpret the results of the experiment and report the conclusions
