Purpose
This course is primarily designed for
majors in Industrial Engineering (IE) at the graduate level; however, it
is appropriate for science and engineering graduate students interested in
experimental design. The purpose of the course is to prepare students for:
i) mastering the theoretical and applied framework to design, conduct, and
analyze specialized experimental designs such as: response surfaces,
mixture experiments, categorical and multiple response variables
experiments and ii) conducting meritorious research in the experimental
design area. Emphasis is placed on effective modeling strategies and
interpretation of results and in the use of statistical software packages
as well. This course is an elective in the M.E. in IE.
|
Course Goals
At the completion of this course students
will be able to:
 |
Clearly distinguish the differences
between confidence, prediction, and tolerance intervals. |
 |
Design and perform experiments with
mixtures. |
 |
Design experiments with mixtures with
constraints in the components proportions. |
 |
Use Stat Graphics, SAS, MINITAB, or
other statistical package to analyze experiments with mixtures. |
 |
Design and perform experiments with a
discrete response variable. |
 |
Use S Plus, StatGraphics, SAS, MINITAB,
or other statistical package to analyze experiments with a discrete
response variable. |
|
Requirements
All students are expected to come to class
on time, and prepared; do all assigned readings and related homework;
actively participate in class discussions; and satisfy all assessment
criteria to receive credit for the course.

Department and Campus
Policies
Class attendance: Class
attendance is compulsory. The University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Campus,
reserves the right to deal at any time with individual cases of
non-attendance. Professors are expected to record the absences of their
students. Frequent absences affect the final grade, and may even result in
total loss of
credits. Arranging to make up work missed
because of legitimate class absence is the responsibility of the student.
(Bulletin of Information Undergraduate Studies)
Absence from examinations:
Students are required to attend all examinations. If a student is absent
from an examination for a justifiable reason acceptable to the professor,
he or she will be given a special examination. Otherwise, he or she will
receive a grade of zero of "F" in the examination missed.
(Bulletin of Information Undergraduate Studies)
Final examinations: Final
written examinations must be given in all courses unless, in the judgment
of the Dean, the nature of the subject makes it impracticable. Final
examinations scheduled by arrangements must be given during the
examination period prescribed in the Academic Calendar, including
Saturdays. (see Bulletin of Information Undergraduate Studies).
Partial withdrawals: A
student may withdraw from individual courses at any time during the term,
but before the deadline established in the University Academic Calendar.
(see Bulletin of Information Undergraduate Studies).
Complete withdrawals: A
student may completely withdraw from the University of Puerto Rico,
Mayagüez Campus, at any time up to the last day of classes. (see Bulletin
of Information Undergraduate Studies).
Disabilities: All the
reasonable accommodations according to the Americans with Disability Act
(ADA) Law will be coordinated with the Dean of Students and in accordance
with the particular needs of the student.
Ethics: Any academic
fraud is subject to the disciplinary sanctions described in article 14 and
16 of the revised General Student Bylaws of the University of Puerto Rico
contained in Certification 018-1997-98 of the Board of Trustees. The
professor will follow the norms established in articles 1-5 of the Bylaws.
