What are all possible variables that can influence your objective? Which variables are you going to keep fixed in your experiments? Which variables are you going to vary? Tell me the low and high levels you are going to use for each variable. Please just send it to me in an email; no Word document attachments. Thanks. 14 Mar: the grading rubric (schedule) for the course project. 14 Mar: Solutions are posted for assignment 5. 15 Mar: job opening with Kevin over the summer. I'm looking for a student to work with Dan Wright and myself for 2 months (full time), or 3.5 months (part time) to help redesign and implement the ChemEng website in Drupal. Experience with webservers, and Linux is a plus; knowledge of Drupal is mandatory. Work will be to evaluate other websites, take all user requirements into account, and convert existing pages over to the Drupal CMS. Email me by the end of March. 15 Mar: please go through the three factor example and ensure you are able to derive the main effect and 2 factor interactions (CT, CS, TS) by hand.
