ENGR 203. Engineering Statistics. Applications of statistics to
engineering problems. Collection and analysis of data, sampling
methods, design of experiments, probability theory, decision
theory, analysis of variance, regression analysis, and mathematical
curve fitting.
Prerequisites: ENGR 115 (Statistics for Engineers) or equivalent.
Number of Units: 3 Units
Students are expected to have a working knowledge with EXCEL.
The main objective of this course is to provide the student with the basic concepts and methods that allow him/her to solve problems that otherwise cannot be solved adequately with available technical background and knowledge. The student should be able to acquire the knowledge so that he/she can efficiently collect empirical data and process the collected information. Specifically, the students, after completing the course, should be able to:
- Present and interpret graphical and numerical summaries of data,
- Develop and use probability plots for any probability distribution function,
- Apply the appropriate goodness-of-fit tests for probability distributions,
- Analyze data using standard estimation and hypotheses testing methods, and
- Apply the statistical techniques (linear regression, multiple linear
regression, and analysis of variance) to data sets, interpret the results,
and make appropriate conclusions.
