This course emphasizes 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.
Through the CDIO framework, students conceive real-world problems, design data analysis strategies, implement statistical techniques, and operate with awareness of sustainability impacts. Learners apply statistical tools to analyze issues such as public health, clean energy, water quality, and urban development. The course supports Sustainable Development Goals including Good Health and Well-being (SDG 3), Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG 6), Affordable and Clean Energy (SDG 7), Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11), and Climate Action (SDG 13).
