Office hours: Tuesday and Thursday (3-4 P.M. or by appointments)
Topics:
1. Basic principles and introduction to regression analysis (Chapter 1)
2. Experiments with a single factor, analysis of variance, random effects model
(Chapter 2)
3. Experiments with more than one factor, blocking, Latin squares, analysis of
variance and covariance, split-plot experiments, other analysis techniques
(Chapter 3)
4. Factorial experiments at two levels, comparison with “one-factor-at-a-time” plans,
analysis of location and dispersion, choice of optimal blocking schemes (Chapter
4 except sections 13 and 14)
5. Fractional factorial experiments at two levels, maximum resolution and minimum
aberration for choosing optimal 2 nk designs, choice of optimal blocking schemes
(Chapter 5)
6. Introduction to fractional factorial experiments at three levels (Sections 6.1-6.5,
6.8)
7. Orthogonal arrays (Sections 8.1-8.2 and part of Sections 8.3-8.5, learn to use the
OA tables in Appendices 8A-8C)
8. Brief introduction to response surface methodology (Sections 10.1-10.3)
9. Variation reduction, robust parameter design for product and process
improvement (Chapter 11 except sections 11.8 and 11.10)
Grading Policy: Two Midterms (35%), Homework (30%), Final Exam (35%).
Many real engineering data and experiments are included in the textbook and will be
covered in the course. In-class discussions on case studies will be conducted.
