Evaluation is the process of systematically collecting data pertaining to different aspects of a project for the purpose of judging effectiveness and making decisions about the project’s future (CDC, 2012). Especially for projects that utilize funding, evaluations take the form of formal research typically by external evaluators to establish both effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and other attributes. On a smaller scale, an evaluation can be formative or summative. A formative evaluation focuses on the process of planning and implementing the project while a summative evaluation looks at the outcomes. In the study by McNabney et al. (2009), the researchers employed a summative method ...

Example of a DOE Case DOE was used in the amplifier design process to investigate the sensitivity of this amplifier to process variation. It was necessary to find out the presence of elements in the amplifier design that could potentially affect the output ...
