Unit 1
This first unit introduces you to some of the basic ideas and principles that provide a background
for the application of statistics. You will learn how to describe data using graphical and numerical
methods as well as the basic concepts of probability that underlie the methods we will cover in
later units. Much of this unit will be review for many, but not all, of you. If it is a review for you
do be sure that you have a firm understanding of the concepts before you move on.
Some students may find the chapter 3 material (on probability and counting methods) to be
difficult. If you do hang in there - it does get easier once this material is completed.
Unit 2
In this unit, we will learn about the two different types of random variables and how to calculate
means and variances for each. The first lesson mainly covers discrete random variables and
introduces continuous random variables. The second lesson continues with more details about
continuous random variables. These two lessons consist of background material used in the
remaining units.
Unit 3
In this unit we get to the "meat and potatoes" of statistics. You will learn how to construct
confidence intervals used to estimate each of the population parameters you have learned about.
You will also learn how to construct confidence intervals that compare parameters from different
populations.
Hypothesis tests are a method of inference used to make decisions about population parameters.
Be sure to pay attention to the commentary where the steps to doing a hypothesis test are
outlined you must include these steps in each test that you do. We will also learn about
hypothesis tests for categorical variables.
Unit 4
In this unit we are going to cover two major topics control charts and regression. Control charts
are going to be covered over lessons 7 & 8. There are lot of different types of control charts that
will be covered, so pay attention to when it is appropriate to use each one. Regression will be
covered in lesson 9. Regression is where we look at relationships that can exist between
quantitative variables and see whether we can use one or more to make predictions about a
response.
Unit 5
In this final chapter you will learn the basics of experimental design and how to analyze the
results of basic designs. You will use Minitab to carry out all of the analyses, as they are very time
consuming if done by hand.
Grading Information
Scores on weekly homework, group projects, online discussions, and the four exams will
determine the final grades.
The final grade will be divided among these as follows:
Exams: 45%
Homework: 25%
Projects: 20%
Discussions: 10%
Grading Scale
A = 90-100%
B = 80-89%
C = 70-79%
D = 60-69%
F = Below 60%
The exams are open-book, but are to be completed individually. Group work is not allowed on
exams.

Lesson Descriptions
Lesson descriptions blended with Lesson Commentaries
(Below is general overview provided in the course)
As you progress through the lessons, you will be able to identify certain characteristics of this
course:
The commentary for each lesson contains a general overview and pertinent comments by your
professor about that lesson. After reading the commentary, you should proceed to the
Presentation link for that lesson. All units and lessons are listed in the Content area of the
course.
Much of the presentation in each lesson is somewhat detailed and closely follows your
textbook. This does not mean you won't have to read the textbook, since there is still
significant material that you have to get directly from it.
Each lesson contains key figures, important charts, or graphics from the textbook.
The Engineering Design textbook has a large selection of resources via its references. Details
for the references indexed in the Presentations for the various lessons are available in the
Resources links for each lesson.
The Engineering Design textbook readings, commentary, presentations, and references form
the core resources you will need for understanding the principles, goals, and the tools of
design for manufacturability (DFM). These core resources will serve as the central base for
comprehending applications in the vast field of design, manufacturing, and DFM. This field will
become more familiar to you as you work through the homework, examinations, and projects
of the course.
For your future benefit as well as grading in this course, assessments will measure how well
you have learned DFM principles, goals, and tools. Assessment is conducted through homework
(made up of quizzes, and unit/lesson related tasks), a final examination, and a major project.
Some of these tasks, including the major project, will provide opportunities to apply the
learned principles and tools to practical situations. Look periodically in the Course
Calendar/Upcoming Events and/or the Announcements section of the course to keep abreast
of scheduled tasks.
Each lesson includes both an assignment and a quiz to test you on key points of the lesson.
There is one examination in this course and one course project.
Exams:13 quizzes 1 final exam
Activities and Assignments:13 homework assignments & Term Project (broken into 6 subset
tasks)
Group Assignments: 1
This project spans the length of the course and is intended to be a group effort. Groups will be
assigned at the beginning of the semester. Each of the term project assignments leads to the final
report. All dates are given in the course calendar. The term project has six parts, that
encompasses each of the 13 lessons. This will encourage you to make thoughtful choices, get rid
of poor topics, and avoid procrastination.
The term project will have valuable outcomes. First, it will be instructive for you to tie all of the
lecture material to a practical exercise. Second, you will benefit from practicing the application
of DFM to designs and from documenting the results in a written report.
Term project topics should be complex enough to allow for opportunities to apply DFM principles
to parts fabrication and product assembly. They should include opportunities for using both offthe-shelf parts and designed parts. If you redesign an existing product, comparisons can be made
between new and old. This is especially true if the existing product can be analyzed physically, or
at least has been documented in the literature. Working engineers are encouraged to design or
redesign a company product, existing or hypothetical.
I would like objective, specific goals for doing your DFM project. Dont use terms like "reduce
total number of fasteners." Use terms like "reduced fasteners from 300 hex bolt lengths and types
to 50." Make the goal realistic and achievable.
A group discussion forum for this project will be available for discussing your progress and sharing
feedback with others in the group.
The steps in the term project can be a useful guide in industry, too, especially after college
experience under professorial guidance.
The final report should be one cohesive document. It must be a complete and thorough
description of the design process that culminated in the presented design artifact. The final
report must include adequate explanation, justification, and supporting information for all
decisions that affected the outcome of the final design and the methods of producing it.
PARTICIPATION: Each interim project report and the final report must contain a statement on
the cover page signed (electronically) by all team members warranting that every member of the
team did his/her fair share to the satisfaction of the signatory, and a task assignment sheet (in
the appendix) indicating which member was responsible for each report section.
Grading Information
The breakdown of points is as follows:
The final grade for the course is calculated from grades in homework (29.7%), quizzes (24.7%)
final exam (22.8%), and a term project (22.8%).
Grading Scale

understand matrix algebra and solution procedures for simultaneous linear algebraic equations.
Along with background material, Unit 1 presents a brief history of the finite element method, as
well as some significant references for those wanting to examine the development of this
method. Unit 1 outlines the general steps in a finite element formulation. It shows numerous
applications of the finite element method. Finally, it introduces basic concepts on which the
primary method, called the direct stiffness method, is based.
Unit 2: Line Elements - Bar (Truss), Beam (Frame) - and Flowchart of Computer Program for
Truss Analysis
Line elements form the basis for the stress analysis of real structures. Such structures as two- and
three-dimensional trusses, statically indeterminate beams, and two- and three-dimensional
frames can be analyzed quite easily with the line elements introduced in this unit. Unit 2 then
develops the stiffness matrices for bar, truss, beam, and frame elements. This unit also
introduces concepts of transformation matrices, inclined or skewed supports, use of symmetry,
distributed loading, and beam element with nodal hinge. Finally, Unit 2 describes a flowchart
that is a basis for a computer program for the analysis of trusses.
Unit 3: Two-Dimensional Elements for Plane Stress/Strain and Axisymmetric Problems and
Computer Program Analysis
Two-dimensional or plane elements are used for plane stress/strain analysis where the loading is
applied in the plane of each element. These elements are used to analyze plates with holes,
fillets, or other changes in geometry for stress concentration problems. An example would be a
hydraulic cylinder rod end used in a piece of heavy equipment such as a backhoe tractor.
Axisymmetric elements allow a simple method to model three-dimensional solids that are actually
axisymmetric in their geometry. An example is a steel die used in the plastic film industry. Unit 3
then develops the stiffness matrices for the plane stress/strain and axisymmetric elements. This
unit also introduces various concepts that should be considered when modeling any problem for
solution using these elements. Further extension of the computer program to solve problems with
these elements is also described. Numerous examples are included.
Unit 4:
Three-dimensional elements are used for three-dimensional (3-D) stress analysis where the
loading is applied anywhere in space. These elements are either tetrahedral (4-sided) or
hexahedral (6-sided or brick-type) elements and are used to model such bodies as engine blocks,
thick-walled dams, foot pedals, and other truly 3-D structures. Unit 4 first develops the stiffness
matrix for the tetrahedral element and describes how the hexahedral element stiffness matrix is
developed. It goes on to develop the stiffness matrix for 1-D and 2-D heat transfer due to both
conduction and convection, allowing the determination of temperature variation and heat
transfer throughout a body. Then, for bodies subjected to variations in temperature, the unit
examines how thermal stresses occur. Finally, Unit 4 formulates the equations necessary for a
time-dependent loading problem, such as when a blast load is applied to a building frame.
Grading Information
This course is structured as a graduate-level course, with primary delivery via the World Wide
Web, e-mail, and fax. Your success depends on a number of written assignments consisting
primarily of longhand solving of problems using numerical analysis, more difficult solutions using
the computer program, written engineering design projects (two), and written exams after each
unit (four). All written assignments should draw on your knowledge gained from the assigned
readings, which are listed both in the reading schedule and in the individual units. Also included
are additional suggested readings to gain further insight into the material. As a member of this
class, you are expected to meet basic requirements as follows:

firms resources and products. Under-engineered products and poor process designs result in
lower quality as well.
Purchasing and Receiving - The purchasing department must ensure that purchased parts meet
the quality requirements specified by product design and engineering. Receiving must ensure
that the purchased items delivered are of the quality that was contracted for by purchasing,
and that defective parts are not received.
Production Planning and Scheduling - The correct material, tools, and equipment must be
available at the proper time and in the proper places to maintain a smooth flow of production.
Manufacturing and Assembly - Quality must be built into a product; it cannot be inspected into
it. Proper control of labor, materials, and equipment is necessary to achieve high quality.
Tool Engineering -Tools used in manufacturing and inspection must be designed and
maintained for continual production of a quality product. Tool performance should be
consistently monitored so that worn or defective tools can be identified and replaced.
Industrial Engineering and Process Design - Team members from these areas must work with
product design engineers to develop realistic specifications of quality. In addition, they must
select appropriate technology, equipment, and work methods that will produce quality
products.
Finished Goods Inspection and Tests - If quality is built into the product properly and
rigorously, inspection should be unnecessary. However, in a less than perfect system, some
inspection based on random sampling, or 100 percent inspection of critical components, is still
necessary to ensure that no defective items reach the customer.
Packaging, Shipping, and Warehousing - Logistical activities take place in these locations
which are designed to protect quality after goods are produced.
Installation and Service These personnel must ensure that users understand the product and
have adequate instructions for proper installation and operation.
In addition, quality in services is also important in todays business environment because poor
service often leads to lost customers - up to 35% per year - and therefore lost income. Retaining
customers can mean a profit increase because it is more cost effective to retain them than to
acquire new customers. Companies with long-time customers can financially outperform
competitors with higher customer turnover even when their unit costs are higher and their
market share is smaller.
Quality has moved beyond technical issues such as reliability, inspection, and quality control in
manufacturing, because of changes in the economy and in society. Some of these concerns center
on the increasing focus of businesses on service, and knowledge creation and management.
Unit 2: Tools and Techniques for Quality and Performance Excellence
This unit covers analyzing data, solving problems, designing, controlling, and improving processes
to reduce the potential for failures.
