Welcome and Teaching Philosophy
Welcome to MANE 6313. This is one of my favorite courses to teach. I hope to bring my industrial experiences as a statistician in a chemical plant and as a technical consultant applying neural networks to manufacturing processes.
I would strongly encourage you to review the additional material on Grit and adopt these principles in your studies. Remember that effort counts twice and adopt a growth mindset.

Required Readings, Technology Needs, and Resource Materials
The following textbook is required for completion of Design of Experiments.
Required Textbook
Montgomery, Douglas C. (2019). Design and Analysis of Experiments, 10th edition. John Wiley & Sons. ISBN: 978-1-119-49244-3. E-book cost: $120.00, E-book rental (120 days): $42.00.
Technology
This course will extensively use R Markdown software for the design and analysis of experiments. This is the first semester that R Markdown will be used instead of Minitab. R Markdown will be implemented in the RStudio IDE which is free software. One of the advantages of R Markdown on R Studio is the software works on Windows, Mac OS and Linux systems. The UTRGV vLabs also offers R Studio that can be run online utilizing a virtual machine. Additional information on R Markdown and R Studio will be provided during Week Two.
