Prel. scheduled hours: 62
Rec. self-study hours: 138

  Area of Education: Technology

Subject area: Chemistry

  Advancement level (A-D): C

Aim:
The following objectives are in six levels requiring increasing knowledge and depth of study. A pass in the course can be obtained by an ability to complete the first four levels. Highers grades require an ability to complete all levels of objectives. By the end of the course, students should be able to: (1) Demonstrate knowledge of facts: define main effects, factor-factor interactions, orthogonality, resolution (2) Explain and describe the following: randomized experiments, experiment blocking, confounding, optimization, PLS, PCA, full design, fractional design (3) Apply knowledge in order to design and analyse experiments: use the commerical software Modde to design a 2 or 3 level factorial design (full or fractional), predict the confounding patterns for a 2 level fractional design, fit a model to experimental measurements, from an initial screening set of experiements, design a further set of experiments designed to optimise the results, use the commercial software Extract to perform multivariate data analysis (PCA and PLS) on a set of data. (4) Use knowledge to analyse experiments and results: explain the difference between various common 2 and 3 level fractional factorial design, including when it is advisable to use them, evaluate how well a model describes some experimental results, analyse experimental results to identify important trends and effects, analyse experimental results to determine what further experiments are required. (5) Combine knowledge from previous courses to techniques learned in TFKI 12: work in small groups to design a set of experiments (students’ choice), conduct the experiments and analyse results. (6) Evaluate: oppose another group’s presentation.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
The course consists of lectures, computer tutorials and projects which result in oral and written presentation
