Book Description
By finelybook
This book develops foundational concepts in probability and statistics with primary applications in mechanical and aerospace engineering. It develops the mindset a data analyst must have to interpret an ill-defined problem,operationalize it,collect or interpret data,and use this evidence to make decisions that can improve the quality of engineered products and systems. It was designed utilizing the latest research in statistics learning and in engagement teaching practices
The author’s focus is on developing students’ conceptual understanding of statistical theory with the goal of effective design and conduct of experiments. Engineering statistics is primarily a form of data modeling. Emphasis is placed on modelling variation in observations,characterizing its distribution,and making inferences with regards to quality assurance and control. Fitting multivariate models,experimental design and hypothesis testing are all critical skills developed. All topics are developed utilizing real data from engineering projects,simulations,and laboratory experiences. In other words,we begin with data,we end with models.
The key features are:
[list]
[*]Realistic contexts situating the learning of the statistics in actual engineering practice.
[*]A balance of rigorous mathematics,conceptual scaffolding,and real,messy data,to ensure that students learn the important concepts and can apply them in practice.
[*]The consistency of text,lecture notes,data sets,and simulations yield a coherent set of instructional resources for the instructor and a coherent set of learning experiences for the students.
[*]MatLab is used as a computational tool. Other tools are easily substituted.
