Abstract:
|
We will discuss topic emphasis in experimental design classes taught for students planning a career as an industrial statistical consultant. Software has made both the construction of experimental designs and analysis of the resulting data much easier. Therefore, students planning industrial careers have less need to focus on the hand computational formulas or algorithms to construct certain types of designs that are presented in many traditional experimental design texts. More time could be focused on teaching students, a strategy for selecting a design that is appropriate for the research objective, how to recognize the appropriate error term for hypothesis testing, and how to interpret and present results that will be meaningful to nonstatisticians. Participants should be prepared to discuss their experiences and share what they have found to be effective.
