Introduction to Design of Experiments (IDOEW) - This is a practical and “Hands-on” introduction to the concepts of experimental design from a perspective of process and product design.

Topics covered include: design resolution, development of fractionated designs, determination of experimental error, graphical methods of analysis, screening designs, a comparison of Taguchi vs Western approaches, conversion of orthogonal to process settings, and methods of design validation.
