Introductory Statistics for Engineering Experimentation

The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) introduced a criterion starting with their 1992-1993 site visits that “Students must demonstrate a knowledge of the application of statistics to engineering problems.” Since most engineering curricula are filled with requirements in their own discipline, they generally do not have time for a traditional two semesters of probability and statistics. Attempts to condense that material into a single semester often results in so much time being spent on probability that the statistics useful for designing and analyzing engineering/scientific experiments is never covered. In developing a one-semester course whose purpose was to introduce engineering/scientific students to the most useful statistical methods, this book was created to satisfy those needs.– Provides the statistical design and analysis of engineering experiments & problems– Presents a student-friendly approach through providing statistical models for advanced learning techniques– Covers essential and useful statistical methods used by engineers and scientistsIntroductory Statistics for Engineering Experimentation is written by Nelson, Peter R.; Copeland, Karen A.F.; Coffin, Marie and published by Academic Press.
