Enrolment options

Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After the course, the participant will understand:

                * Basic principles of design of experiments;

                * Basic experimental design strategies (factorial, composite, response-surface, mixture design) and associated solution techniques for practical calculations.

                * Basic principles of calibration;

                * Basic calibration methods (linear regression, principal component analysis, partial least-squares) and associated solution techniques for practical calculations.
