What's inside

Four courses

Experimental Design Basics

(0 hours)
This basic course teaches designing experiments and analyzing data. You will learn to plan, design, and conduct experiments efficiently and effectively, and analyze the resulting data to obtain objective conclusions. Both design and statistical analysis issues are discussed. Opportunities to use the principles taught in the course arise in all aspects of today's industrial and business environment.

Factorial and Fractional Factorial Designs

(0 hours)
Many experiments involve several factors. This course introduces factorial designs, where factors are varied together. It covers designing these experiments and analyzing the data using ANOVA. Blocking is also discussed for handling nuisance factors. As the number of factors grows, fractional factorials become useful. This course covers their benefits and methods for constructing and analyzing the data from these experiments.

Response Surfaces, Mixtures, and Model Building

(0 hours)
Factorial experiments are used in factor screening to identify important factors in a process or system. This course provides design and optimization tools to answer that question using the response surface framework. Other related topics include design and analysis of computer experiments, experiments with mixtures, and experimental strategies to reduce the effect of uncontrollable factors on unwanted variability in the response.

Random Models, Nested and Split-plot Designs

(0 hours)
Many experiments involve factors whose levels are chosen at random. This course presents the design and analysis of these types of experiments, including modern methods for estimating the components of variability in these systems.

Learning objectives

  • Plan, design and conduct experiments efficiently and effectively, and analyze the resulting data to obtain valid objective conclusions.
  • Use response surface methods for system optimization as a follow-up to successful screening.
  • Use experimental design tools for computer experiments, both deterministic and stochastic computer models.
  • Use software tools to create custom designs based on optimal design methodology for situations where standard designs are not easily applicable.
