Course Objectives

To learn engineering/statistical techniques to design robust processes, which are minimallyaffected by external sources of variability.

To learn how to design and conduct experiments, and analyze the resulting data to derive optimal

process parameters. To be proficient in implementing the problem solving procedures for large scale problems using

computer spreadsheets (EXCEL spreadsheet, in particular).

To experience first hand how the theory applies to real world problems through a group projectfrom local industry or research laboratory, and to exercise skills for working in a group andcommunicating the project findings to the class through a formal presentation.

ABET Student Outcomes (SOs) Addressed by this Course

SO2 (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data SO4 (d) an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams

1. Course Policies

a. Use of EXCEL (spreadsheet) would be REQUIRED for problem solving. Youwould be required to develop your EXCEL worksheets using basic functions (not

using built in Data Analysis tool of EXCEL). b. Exams and quizzes will require computer with EXCEL. Class requires you to bring

your own laptop to each class, quizzes, and exams. MANDATORY laptoppolicy will remain in effect (http://www2.eng.usf.edu/ecomp/laptopconfiguration.asp )

c. Exams will only be given at the predetermined dates. Early or late exam taking

(Curving of grades, if any , will be decided after the final exam )3. Academic Integrity

Academic honesty is fundamental to the activities and principles of a university. All members ofthe academic community must be confident that each persons work has been responsibly andhonorably acquired, developed and presented. Any effort to gain an advantage not given to allstudents is dishonest whether or not the effort is successful.
