C. Introduction to Statistical Quality Control, 6th or 7th Edition. Please download lecture notes and bring hard copies to class. EGN 3443 Probability and Statistics for Engineers or equivalent. used in many industries. Specifically, it focuses on control charts as the core for statistical process control. Basic and more advanced charts are presented. Also, some topics in multivariate statistics will be covered. The goal is for you to understand the concepts, operation, and role of these techniques. Grading: Exam I Exam II Final Exam Project 50 50 100 Bonus

Course Objectives: This course covers topics in quality control that have been widely

The course is about understand the variation. Thus, the course uses a robust method for measuring your learning achievement in this course. Your final score equals to Max[score on Exam I + score on Exam II, score on Final Exam]. For example, if your

score on Exam I is 40, score on Exam II is 40, score on Final exam is 90, then your final score is max[40+30,90] = 90. Grading scale will be used: A+: 95-100 A: 90-94 A-: 86-89 B+: 82-85 B: 77-81 C+: 74-76 C: 70-73 C-: 65-69 D: 60-64, F: <60 (College of Engineering Rule: Only grades of C or better will be accepted in all Math, Science, and Engineering courses). Homework: Recommended homework exercises and solutions are provided. These are not submitted nor graded. TA can answer questions about the homework in his office hours. The instructor will also provide instructions on solving some homework questions in class. Exams: Exam dates will be announced as the course progresses. Exams I and II are non-cumulative. Each exam will include one and only one homework problem. The Final exam is a comprehensive exam. You will be allowed to bring ONE DOUBLE-SIDED cheat sheet to each exam. Project: The project is optional. There will be NO make-up exams.

The project is an individual one, NOT a team one. Your final letter grade will be based on the 3 exams. If you do the project and do it well (only the instructor has the right to define what is well), you may have a chance to boost your final letter grade by half. For example, if your final letter grade based on the 2 exams is B and you do the project well, you may get B+. Topic: the objective of this project is for you to implement the statistical process control from a practitioners perspective. It can be a theoretical proposal for developing and implementing a quality control project for any kinds of industry or organizations, e.g., manufacturing, health care, military or service, to name a few. It can also be a real application of the topics you learned from the class on a real-world application. Before you start with the project, you must email your topic (a brief description of the problem, the data and the method you want to use) to the instructor to get approval. Deliverable: You need to email the instructor a 20-40 slides PowerPoint file by the due date. The PowerPoint file must include the following contents Project title, Introduction, Method, Application of the method in quality control, Examples, Conclusion. Due date: You must email the instructor before the Spring Break to get approval of your project. The PowerPoint file is due in the day of the final exam. Note that you wont be able to know the score of your final exam score before the due date of the project. So your decision about whether to do the project should be based on your prediction about your performance in the class.
