Where to Obtain Further Information on Experimental Design

Note: As a policy, the Defense Acquisition University (who developed this list of resources) does NOT endorse any non-government sources of education or training.

1. Air Force Design of Experiments & Statistics Classes: Air Armament Academy offers a variety of Design of Experiments & Statistics classes (many classes offered at Eglin Air Force Base, 46th Test Wing and 53rd Wing). These classes can be access through the AFIT website listed below.

2. Naval Postgraduate School, Masters in Operations Analysis: Includes classes on Design of Experiments. http://www.nps.edu/Academics/Schools/GSOIS/Departments/OR/index.html

3. U.S. Army Logistics University: Operations Research classes, including classes in Design of Experiments. http://www.alu.army.mil/

4. Air Force Institute of Technology, M.S. in Operations Research: Includes classes on Design of Experiments. www.afit.edu

5. Navy COMOPTEVFOR, Operational Test Director Course: Experimental design within the context of Navy Operational Test and Evaluation. http://www.public.navy.mil/cotf/Pages/home.aspx http://www.public.navy.mil/cotf/pages/OTDCourseRegistration.aspx

6. Air Force Flight Test Center: Classes on statistics. The purpose of these classes is to make engineers and flight test practitioners better “consumers” of statistics (not to make them statisticians). http://www.edwards.af.mil/

7. Air Academy Associates: Classes on experimental design construction and analysis, including Design of Experiments and statistical tools. http://airacad.com/

8. Many civilian colleges and universities offer classes on experimental design. For example, Florida Institute of Technology offers M.S. in Operations Research, www.fit.edu

9. Numerous statistics books are available. For example, “Design and Analysis of Experiments”, by Douglas C. Montgomery
