ENCE 5700 - Advanced Statistics and Design of Experiments

(3) Credit Hours

Techniques and practices necessary for accomplishing repeatable and high-quality experimental results. The notions of data collection, estimation, hypothesis testing, and regression analysis for the purpose of comparing treatment and making decisions are reviewed. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) as well as two-and multi-factor and chi square experimental designs are introduced and applications visited. Design of Experiments (DOE), including design concepts, procedures, and documentation requirements are stressed throughout the course. A project culminates the course, requiring application of topics within the DOE context. A statistical package is utilized throughout the course as both a teaching tool and a learning device. Prerequisites: Department Head approval. Differential Course Fee will be assessed.
