A study of the basic and advanced concepts in the systematic design of experiments and the statistical methods for analyzing them. Bioengineering experiments such as single factor, factorial, fractional factorial, and Taguchi designs are explored. Statistical procedures are utilized to study data from clinical trials, bioengineering research and biomedical device design and manufacturing processes.

The properties, structures and rheology of soft condensed matter and complex fluids such as polymer melts, colloids, gels, liquid crystals and amphiphiles. Basic thermodynamics and dynamics of soft materials and complex fluids found in biological systems are discussed. A wide range of applications in biosoft materials are also exemplified.
