beobvious, the latter conclusion is not.Another advantage of the DOE method is that the φ values calculated for each factor andinteraction may be used as input for a mathematical model which can predict system response foruntested values of each factor within the tested range. For this 3-factor, 2-level experimentaldesign, the model equation predicting experimental response (Ymodel) would be: ϕA Ymod el = ϕ mean + ( A) + ϕ B (B ) + ϕC (C ) + ϕ AB ( A)(B ) + ϕ AC ( A)(C ) + ϕ BC (B )(C ) + ϕ ABC ( A)(B )(C ) (1) 2 2 2 2 2 2 2Equation 1 uses inputs for each factor (A, B, C) based on the specified +1 to -1 scale.

Using an online simulationprovides an outlet for collection of data within constraints of a stand-alone technical writingcourse: limited time and laboratory equipment resources; and is an effective way to engagestudents in laboratory report writing.Works Cited1 Atman, Cynthia J., Sheri D.
