This short course is intended to introduce students to techniques for Design of Experiments (DOE). DOE techniques are useful for planning studies in which inputs to a system/process can be varied and the outputs are observed. This course begins with DOE fundamentals and moves to advanced concepts, principles and requirements.

Students will explore efficient planning and analysis methods for determining which inputs have statistically significant effect on outputs. This inludes analysis of variance, full and fractional factorial experiments, etc. The skills from this course can be used to improve products and processes. Upon completion of the course, students will appreciate DOE as a useful tool for the process of understanding a system.
