This course teaches formalized design of experiments (DOE), a system that optimizes a process through the methodical varying of key parameters and a formalized approach to analyzing, interpreting, and applying the results. DOE is designed to make any process more robust and minimize variability from external sources. The course builds upon the statistical concepts required for DOE, including hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, statistical models, and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The DOE approach systematically varies the parameters of a biomanufacturing process to improve its operation. This course is open only to students enrolled in the biomanufacturing bachelor's degree program.
