Robust Engineering Design

A robust design approach based on “Taguchi Methods,” including off-line quality engineering and applied design-of-experiments methods, full factorial and fractional factorial designs, and response surface methods. The course is designed to enable engineers and engineering managers from all disciplines to recognize potential applications, formulate problems, plan experiments, and analyze data. Knowledge of probability and statistics (ENMA 420 or equivalent) is assumed. Students will engage in case studies, culminating in a semester-long project
