The students will be able to –
CO100: Analyze the data and also identify the appropriate design. CO101: Construct the design for the provided data and also check their applications. CO102: Plan and execute screening experiments to select factors that affect the process CO103: Analyze the results and also able to research in Design of experiments. CO104: Examine factors at three levels and mixed levels. |
