Teaching Principles of DoE as an Element of QbD for Pharmacy Students

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Computer Aided Pharmaceutics and Drug Delivery

Abstract

Design of Experiment (DoE) is an emerging field that combines mathematics and statistics in order to establish successful cause–effect correlations between factors and responses. Moreover, with the help of planned experiments, accurate predictions of outcomes based on the constructed models can be achieved. The huge development and advent of the computer software, especially those possessing user-friendly interfaces, could help in relaying the concepts of DoE as a crucial element of quality to the undergraduate students. Implementing this concept in the mind of pharmacy students would have futuristic beneficial impacts on the pharmaceutical industry. This chapter introduces a simple way of conveying the topic to the students using fishbone diagrams and through conducting a step-by-step protocol of an experimental design used for modeling a drug–carrier.
