Class Schedule
Upon completion of the course students will be able to:
 Design experiments to address problems that are important to
engineers.
 Construct appropriate statistical models to form the framework for
analyzing the resulting data.
 Use regression methods to find point and interval estimates of
model parameters, and to test hypotheses about them.
 Use computer software to carry out the analysis.
