DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS

Graduate

This course focuses on the design, implementation, and analysis of engineering, scientific, and computer-based experiments. The course will examine the proper and scientific approach to experimentation, modeling, simulation, and analysis of data. Various designs are discussed and their respective advantages and disadvantages are noted. Factorial designs and sensitivity analysis will be studied in detail because of its relevance to various industries. Use of software for designing and analyzing experiments will also be used. For experiments that involved mainly physical quantities and natural phenomena, techniques of dimensional analysis will also be introduced. Graduate-level project will be required as defined in consultation with the instructor. PREREQUISITE: Admission to the graduate program in Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering HOURS OF CREDIT: 3
