The IR Institute of Engineering Education will hold an introductory seminar on Experimental Design (DOE), focusing on visual understanding and Excel analysis for engineers who find statistics challenging. The course covers everything from basics to ANOVA and orthogonal arrays.

The IR Institute of Engineering Education will host a public seminar designed for those who struggle with statistics, covering the basics of Experimental Design (DOE) through two-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The program emphasizes Excel-based analysis and interpretation of results using visual diagrams.

While Experimental Design is crucial in product and process design, the heavy use of mathematical formulas in statistics often becomes a barrier for learners. Even though software handles the calculations, a conceptual understanding of what those formulas represent is essential for correct interpretation. This seminar provides a step-by-step learning opportunity using visual aids.

### Seminar Overview - **Title:** Visual Introduction to Experimental Design with Diagrams and Exercises - **Format:** Online (Live Stream / Archived Stream) - **Dates:** - [Live Stream] July 1, 2026 (Wed) 10:00–16:30 - [Archived Stream] July 3 – July 17, 2026 - **Fee:** 49,500 JPY (tax included) per person (Group discounts available) - **Lecturer:** Akihisa Fukuda (Representative, Stat Imaging Lab)

### Program Highlights 1. **Statistical Basics:** Quantification of variation (standard deviation), standard error, and 95% confidence intervals. 2. **Testing and Estimation of Mean Differences:** Two-group comparison, Excel analysis methods, t-test mechanics, p-values, etc. 3. **One-Way ANOVA:** Methods using Excel, estimation of level means and differences, and relationship with t-tests. 4. **Two-Way ANOVA:** Randomization to prevent confounding, graphing, Excel interpretation, interaction effects, and response surfaces. 5. **Orthogonal Arrays:** Necessity and benefits, usage, structure, assignment, and analysis using general linear models.

### Targeted Audience - Professionals in product or process design wanting to learn DOE from the ground up. - Those interested in statistically clarifying cause-and-effect relationships, including in social sciences.

Nihon IR Co., Ltd. provides a wide range of specialized services, including patent/IP solutions with over 50 years of experience, technical research, and engineering education for the manufacturing sector.
