About the Course

This is a basic course in designing experiments and analyzing the resulting data. The course objective is to learn how to plan, design and conduct experiments efficiently and effectively, and analyze the resulting data to obtain objective conclusions. Both design and statistical analysis issues are discussed. Opportunities to use the principles taught in the course arise in all aspects of today’s industrial and business environment. Applications from various fields will be illustrated throughout the course. Computer software packages (JMP, Design-Expert, Minitab) will be used to implement the methods presented and will be illustrated extensively. All experiments are designed experiments; some of them are poorly designed, and others are well-designed. Well-designed experiments allow you to obtain reliable, valid results faster, easier, and with fewer resources than with poorly-designed experiments. You will learn how to plan, conduct and analyze experiments efficiently in this course....

I have used Dr. Montgomery's book off and on since the early 1990s! It is an enjoyment to watch his lectures. The only caveat is that it is a short course, which should have been obvious to me.

The peer review assignment is daunting as you are completely at the mercy of your classmates who might leave proper feedback on what you actually did wrong. Apart from that, great class.

The course taught the basics of experimental design as per its title and also the statistical tests commonly used to test the significance of the experimental results. It's very heavily reliant on the textbook for details so for people who don't have it, the course videos might seem a bit lacking. The exercise questions were rather difficult and the ones involving statistics concepts were basically guesswork if you couldn't understand the underlying theory well like I did. The project was interesting and helped me to think about how to apply the newly learned concepts in my work. Not a fan of peer reviews though. The AI grading worked fine for me. Looking forward to completing the rest of the specialisation in the future.

This course introduced me to the language and tools used by DoE practitioners. I recommend this course to any professionals who lack any formal DoE courses and work in any field were experimentation is required.

Why not 5 stars? I am not a fan of the course's reliance on JMP. My ability to apply what I've learned will be severely limited if I expect my employer to purchase the software. As an alternative, I did all the computational work using the "statsmodel" library in Python, but this required a significant amount of additional research.

El material ha sido excelente! Aunque me fue dificil por no tener un dominio de inglés. Esto me ha llevado a decidir que aprenderé bien el ingles para seguir llevando los demás módulos y ser un especialista en Diseño de experimentos de ingeniería.

Overall I found the course very intersting and useful. Dr. Montgomery does a good job explaining the topics, and also his student with the JMP exercises. I removed one star because often I found myself having problems reading the slides.

pretty good course , it would have been great to have pdf or brief with the material, the book is great too , class notes would have been great.

Good material but slow and dry. Assignments were bad and in a non-standard programming language.

I have taken multiple statistics courses before and I think this course did an okay job with covering the basics. There are a few errors in the answers to the weekly quizzes, which makes you feel as though you did not learn the material correctly. The instructor is extremely knowledgeable but I feel as though he could have covered more examples in further detail. If JMP is the software used for the course to analyze data, then he should have used it during his lectures, instead of screenshots from an old book or older versions of the software.

I would buy this course from whatever other service. Or just read the manual for minitab. No specific use or value.

It is good if you want theoretical understanding from 1970s book.
