Learning outcomes |
After the course, the student knows different experimental design methods and their applicability for different problems. He can also design experiments for multi-variable processes and analyze the results. He can also use some basic means to visualize the results got from experimental data and choose proper tools for experiment design problems. |
Contents |
Systematic design of process experiments with matrix techniques (Hadamard, Central Composite Design). Graphical and statistical analysis of experimental data. Correlation, regression and variance analysis. |
