Statistics Course for Engineers

Why should you need the Course: Statistics for Engineers? Being statistically literate allows you to access and use data more effectively for informed decision making, and also enables one to:  evaluate number-based claims in the media  recognize words that imply much, but assert very little  understand statements involving rates and percentages  critically evaluate statistics-based arguments involving public policies  identify consequences, implications or impacts

Who needs to be statistically literate? "Statistical thinking will one day be as necessary for efficient citizenship as the ability to read and write." ~ Mathematical Statistician Samuel S. Wilks. Statistical literacy is relevant to everyone. However, the level of competency and the type of information required can differ, i.e. people who are required to analyze data, interpret it and communicate the findings will have a need for more advanced skills rather than someone who needs to assess whether the information provided to them in a media advertisement is meaningful. The Industrial needs demand for advanced skills in the subject of Statistics. Therefore, keeping in view the industry requisites and plea, the Department of Mathematics has designed a short-course for the Engineering students. The course content would mainly focus on following topics:  Descriptive Statistics  Testing of Hypothesis  Analysis of variance (ANOVA)  Time Series Analysis and Forecasting

Course-Overview:  The course duration is 5 days  

 Lectures - 20 hours  Workshop - 4 hours An integral part of each lecture would be hands-on with MS-Excel. Workshop on ‘Statistics in Real Life’
