Experimental Design

≈ 32 min

A fair engineering experiment defines a response, controlled factors, varied factors, repeats and a sampling plan.

Core checkpoint: Change one planned factor at a time unless using a justified multifactor design.

Which statement best captures the core checkpoint for Experimental Design?

Change one planned factor at a time unless using a justified multifactor design.

Choose a solution before defining the evidence.

Ignore units, limits and boundary cases.

Assume the first result applies in every context.

Enter the highlighted key term for Experimental Design. Checkpoint clue: Why repeat experimental runs?
