Design of Experiments for UV/EB Scientists and Engineers

FACULTY
Dr. Allan Guymon, University of Iowa

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This course will provide the foundation and motivation for using Design of Experiments to improve and optimize UV/EB curing processes and formulations. Students attending the course do not need previous experience in Design of Experiments or statistics. The course is appropriate for individuals with backgrounds ranging from technicians to Ph.D. scientists and engineers.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Design of Experiments (DOE) is a powerful technique that allows the maximum amount of information to be obtained by performing the minimum number of experiments. For those in production, product design, or quality control, knowledge of DOE can dramatically enhance effectiveness in solving problems and optimizing systems. Most experiments not based on DOE concepts are two-dimensional, i.e. one variable is changed while a response is measured. DOE, on the other hand, varies all of the important variables simultaneously and systematically, thereby examining the response(s) in many dimensions.

Even with the great potential of DOE, few are familiar with its concepts. The goal of this course is to provide the basic tools needed for DOE implementation in the UV/EB industry. While DOE is based on statistical principles, primary emphasis will be placed on practical aspects in using and applying DOE techniques and on the motivation behind using DOE. Specific topics that will be addressed include:

  • Background and History of DOE
  • Steps in a DOE
  • DOE Terminology
  • Screening Designs
  • Model Building Designs
  • Mixture (Formulation) Designs

CEU CREDIT
Attendees taking this course will receive 0.6 CEU credits from the University of Iowa. CEU credit forms will be handed out to students the day of the course.
