Offered to

Environmental Engineering
ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING

Course Objective

The main objectives of the course are to introduce the statistical experimental design
methods, basic principles of performing the experiments and to describe the methods
used in the analysis of the data and in evaluation of the experimental results. The
basic statistical terms and calculations are defined and utilization of them in
experimental design methods are given. The application of the statistical experimental
design methods in main research areas of Environmental Engineering like biological and
chemical treatment of wastewater are discussed with the examples from the literature.
