Course Objective

This course provides insight and operational skills in designing, analyzing and optimizing quantitative models based on response surface methodology. After completing the course, the students will be able to apply the techniques independently in their own work environment.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Understand and be able to correctly use basic statistical terminology
2   To identify problems where response surface methodology can be applied
3   To be able to design simple experiments
4   To have a general insight into how data analysis is done in connection to designed experiments
5   To be able to build models based on response surface methodology
