Designing a First Experiment: A Project for Design of Experiment Courses
نویسنده
چکیده
A project suitable for use as a first and last assignment given in an introductory experimental design course is outlined, and its implementation discussed. Phase 1 of the project is designed to be given at the beginning of a first course in experimental design and involves designing an experiment within instructor-specified parameters based initially on intuition and common sense. Phase 2, at the conclusion of the course, represents the final assignment of the course and encourages the student to critique their first design, suggest a “new and improved” design based on their newly acquired knowledge, and finally conduct an analysis of computer generated data (here using MINITAB, although choice of package is flexible) from an actual run of their experiment.

Effect of conjugate heat transfer in designing thermoelectric beverage cooler
Peltier technology opens new opportunities for special applications. In the current project, this technology was applied to design and fabricate a portable thermoelectric beverage cooler and thermoelectric cup. The simulation and results of the experiment showed that the common beverage cooler is not a suitable design for ignoring the effect of natural convection in cooling. In our thermoel...

متن کاملAssessing Student Learning in First-year Quantitative Courses at Babson College: Experimental Design
From 2001-2006 we used a number of approaches to assess how well our first-year students learn statistics and mathematics when introduced to different teaching methods. The topics introduced in their two courses include those found in a standard applied probability and statistics course. For example, descriptive linear regression. Most of these assessments have been based upon analyses of opini...
