1. Define and describe DOE.

What are its methods and objectives?

Discuss the 3-5 DOE terms that you think are most important.

Pick the 3-5 DOE terms that are the most difficult for you to understand; further investigate those terms and then discuss those terms.

Do not pick interaction, design, response surface, or EVOP to describe.

2.What is an interaction?

Why are interactions important?

What are the limitations of interactions and ways of dealing with interactions using various DOE and other techniques, e.g., ANOVA?

3. What is a design in DOE?

Why are there different designs?

Compare and contrast DOE designs (could be a specific design) to multi-factor ANOVA, e.g., what are the pros and cons of each?

4. What is a response surface and what is its use?

What is EVOP?

How is it used?

What is the relationship between a response surface and EVOP?

Provide examples or surface response, EVOP, and their relationship. Be sure to define and explain important terminology.
