This course introduces fundamental concepts of probability and statistics, emphasizing applications in engineering problem-solving. Students will develop an understanding of probability theory, random variables, probability distributions, and statistical inference techniques. The course covers topics such as basic probability theory, estimation, hypothesis testing, and regression analysis.

Through theoretical exploration and practical examples, students will learn to apply probabilistic models to analyze uncertainty in engineering systems and make data-driven decisions. Emphasis is placed on developing statistical reasoning, using appropriate methods to model real-world data, and interpreting results effectively.

By the end of the course, students will be able to compute probabilities, analyze data using descriptive and inferential statistics, and apply statistical tools to engineering applications. The course prepares students for real-world problem-solving and equips them with the skills necessary to critically assess variability in engineering processes. Additionally, students will gain experience in Python libraries for data analysis, reinforcing both theoretical knowledge and practical implementation.

There is no prerequisite course for this class.
