ENGINEERING DATA ANALYSIS
‘Course Description
[ Number of Units
for Lecture and
This course is designed for undergraduate engineering students with
emphasis on problem solving related to societal issues that engineers and
scientists are called upon to solve. It introduces different methods of data
collection and the suitability of using a particular method for a given
situation.
The relationship of probability to statistics is also discussed, providing
students with the tools they need to understand how “chance” plays a role
in statistical analysis. Probability distributions of random variables and their
uses are also considered, along with a discussion of linear functions of |
random variables within the context of their application to data analysis and |
inference. The course also includes estimation techniques for unknown
parameters; and hypothesis testing used in making inferences from sample
to population; inference for regression parameters and build models for
estimating means and predicting future values of key variables under
study. Finally, statistically based experimental design techniques and
analysis of outcomes of experiments are discussed with the aid of
statistical software.
