Course Objectives
To present and to develop an understanding of the fundamental concepts and the reasoning
that underlie the use of the most common statistical techniques employed in engineering. By
the end of this course the students will be able to:
 use statistical methodology as part of the engineering problem solving process
effectively,
 build empirical models,
 design engineering experiments, and
 monitoring manufacturing processes.

The format for the exams is generally (but NOT always) as follows: Multiplechoice, analysis, and design.
Grades will not be given out via e-mail.
No unexcused missed exams will be accepted. All exams are closed-book
exams.
The final exam covers all the material in the course.
Quizzes (5-10 minutes) will be given on most Sundays at the end of the lecture.
Typically they will involve simple questions that are designed to test the
understanding of the material discussed in the preceding lectures.
There will be 3 Quizzes. The highest 2 grades will be counted.
Let the instructor know about your makeup exam before 3 days prior to the
scheduled exam time.
Makeup exam should not be given unless there is a valid excuse.
Last day to drop the course is before May 3, 07.
Cheating or copying from neighbor on exam, or quiz is an illegal and unethical
activity.
Standard JUST policy will be applied.
Excellent attendance is expected.
JUST policy requires the faculty member to assign ZERO grade (35) if a
student misses 10% of the classes that are not excused.
Sign-in sheets will be circulated.
If you miss class, it is your responsibility to find out about any announcements
or assignments you may have missed.
Average work-load student should expect to spend is 6 hours/week.
Instructor should return exam papers graded to students during the week after
the exam date.
Participation in, and contribution to class discussions will affect your final grade
positively. Raise your hand if you have any question.
Making any kind of disruption and (side talks) in the class will affect you
negatively.
Smoking is prohibited in all in-door places.
