The Erasmus+ project OptimTex has prepared up-to-date educational materials as a response to the digitization requirements of Industry 4.0 in the textile field. This paper presents the content of an e-learning module conceived by the coordinator of the Erasmus+ OptimTex project. The module addresses the design of experiments in the field of technical textiles for electromagnetic shielding, with the following technical aspects: two input parameters, the weft fabric density (number of yarns per 10 cm) and the thickness of the plasma-coated metallic (copper) layer on both sides of the fabric (nanometre) and one result variable, the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of the fabrics (dB) at 100 MHz. A Box-Wilson central composite design was applied to optimize shielding effectiveness related to both input parameters. Software such as Excel, MATLAB and MODDE was applied to compute and cross-check the response surface modelling.
