Advanced Design of Experiments

(Theory)

 

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.
