ERT 427/3 DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS
Course Synopsis:
The course begins with the strategy of experimentation using appropriate statistical software. Calculation on analysis of variance is also included as well as 2k factorial design and 2k-p fractional factorial design. Further study on Response Surface Methods (RSM) such as Central Composite Design (CCD) and Box-Behnken designs for fitting a second order model. The incorporation of Design of Expert software in analyzing the chemical or biochemical process will make the students learning more effective. Finally, introduction to Taguchi approach to process optimization is discussed.
Course Outcomes:
Ability to apply and analyze principles for designing experiment and building empirical models.
Ability to calculate and evaluate the analysis of variance and principles of factorial design.
Ability to design for fitting first order and second order model using Response Surface Methodology.
