Process Improvement Using Data by Kevin Dunn. Lab Notes Laboratory Units SI, British and US Engineering units will be used. General Learning Objectives The general objectives will require the student to be able to: Understand and apply basic applied statistical concepts to engineering problems. Use Matrix methods to develop linear least squares analysis and analysis of variance for both single and multi response systems. Apply Factorial and Response Surface Methods to experimental design. Use of latent variable methods to analyze large sets of data. Specified Learning Objectives To review fundamental statistical inference and uncertainty concepts. a) be familiar with normal, chi squared and F and t distributions b) confidence limits c) hypothesis tests To be able to fit models to data and to then judge the appropriateness of the models; the model fitting will cover linear models, nonlinear models and multi response models. a) linear least squares b) ANOVA c) matrix methods d) joint confidence regions e) multi response estimation
CBE 9190B Course Outline 3 To provide an appreciation for the concepts of statistical process control. To understand the concepts behind the design of experiments and to be able to set up appropriate designs in practice. a) understand the concept of design of experiments and confounding of factors b) set up full and fractional factorial experiments c) set up multi level experiments and response surface methods To provide an introduction to multivariate statistical methods for analyzing and using large databases commonly arising in science, engineering and business. Outline: 1. Visualizing data: creating high density, efficient graphics that highlight the data. 2. Univariate data analysis: Probability distributions, confidence intervals, and hypothesis tests. Process monitoring, statistical process control (SPC), for tracking process behaviour. 3. Least squares regression modelling: correlation, covariance, ordinary and multiple least squares models. 4. Design and analysis of experimental data and response surface methods for continual process improvement and optimization. 5. Introduction to latent variable modelling: a general overview of latent variable models and their use in chemical engineering processes. If time permits, we will also cover topics from non linear regression and principal components analysis. Evaluation Assignments 20% (estimate 5 assignments) Midterm Test 30% (February 10, 2015, 2 hr exam, standard calculators only) Final Exam 50% The Final Exam will be 3 hours with an additional take home component. For the supervised exam component, only standard calculators may be used and the Course Notes (paper copy). Grade adjustment techniques may be used. Note 1) Students must receive a passing grade on the final examination to pass this course. 2) Assignments are to be handed in during class on the specified due date provided by the Instructor. Extensions only for medical (with doctor s note), compassionate or emergency reasons.

No special permissions will be granted enabling a student to retain laboratory, assignment or test marks from previous years. Previously completed assignments and laboratories cannot be resubmitted for grading by the student in subsequent years. Use of English In accordance with Senate and Faculty Policy, students may be penalized up to 10% of the marks on all assignments, tests, and examinations for the improper use of English. Additionally, poorly written work with the exception of the final examination may be returned without grading. If resubmission of the work is permitted, it may be graded with marks deducted for poor English and/or late submission. Attendance Any student who, in the opinion of the instructor, is absent too frequently from class or laboratory periods in any course, will be reported to the Associate Chair (Graduate) (after due warning has been given). On the recommendation of the Department concerned, and with the permission of the Associate Chair (Graduate), the student will be debarred from taking the regular examination in the course. Cheating University policy states that cheating is a scholastic offence. The commission of a scholastic offence is attended by academic penalties, which might include expulsion from the program. If
CBE 9190B Course Outline 5 you are caught cheating, there will be no second warning (see Scholastic Offence Policy in the Western Academic Calendar). Plagiarism Students must write their essays and assignments in their own words. Whenever students take an idea or a passage from another author, they must acknowledge their debt both by using quotation marks where appropriate and by proper referencing such as footnotes or citations. Plagiarism is a major academic offence (see Scholastic Offence Policy in the Western Academic Calendar). The University of Western Ontario has software for plagiarism checking. required to submit their work in electronic form for plagiarism checking. Students may be Sickness and Other Problems Students should immediately consult with the instructor or Associate Chair (Graduate) if they have problems that could affect their performance in the course. The student should seek advice from the Instructor or Associate Chair (Graduate) regarding how best to deal with the problem. Failure to notify the Instructor or the Associate Chair (Graduate) immediately (or as soon as possible thereafter) will have a negative effect on any appeal. Please contact the course instructor if you require material in an alternate format or if any other arrangements can make this course more accessible to you. You may also wish to contact Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) at 661 2111 x 82147 for any specific question regarding an accommodation. Notice Students are responsible for regularly checking their Western email and notices posted on their Instructor s doors. Course cancellations will also be sent out via Twitter. Consultation Students are encouraged to discuss problems with their teaching assistant and/or instructors in tutorial sessions. Office hours will be arranged for the students to see the instructor and teaching assistants. Other individual consultations can be arranged by appointment with the appropriate instructor.
