Course objectiveThe objective of this course is to develop students? skills to model the uncertainty/variability in engineering problems and to draw a statistical inference and use the results for decision making process.  
Learning outcomes
  1. Identify the role of statistics in engineering problem solving process
  2. Compute the probability distributions to model the processes and systems in engineering problems
  3. Define the convergence measures for large sample sizes and compute the limiting distributions
