Learn how data furthers understanding of science and engineering. This course covers basic statistical concepts, sampling theory, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, point estimation, and simple linear regression. A statistical software package such as MINITAB will be used for data analysis and statistical applications.

This course covers basic concepts of data visualization. It explores the issues and problems in designing and creating graphical representation of data. Topics include fundamentals of visualization and the practice of communicating with data. Focus is on visual encoding and presenting to communicate the data features. R programming language will be used to create the graphs.

This course is a faculty-directed project that could be considered original in nature. The level of work is appropriate for students in their final two years of undergraduate study.

This course introduces the student to statistical situations not encountered in regular course of study. It integrates and synthesizes concepts in statistical theory with applications. Topics include open-ended analysis of data, current techniques and practice of statistics, development of statistical communication skills and the use of statistical software tools in data analysis. Each student is required to learn and use a statistical technique beyond what is covered in the previous courses. Students are expected to introduce the method in a presentation and to prepare a comprehensive, professional report detailing the statistical method and its application to a data set.
