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.
