Random variables, discrete and continuous probability distributions, calculus based probability calculations, joint distributions, conditional probability and independence are covered. Independence of events is applied to engineering system reliability. Students are introduced to concepts of sampling, sampling distributions, estimation, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and regression analysis. This course extends computer language skills to industrial and systems engineering applications. The course introduces the basic concepts of database systems, network systems, automatic identification systems, and human-computer systems.
Computer skills developed include application information interchange and numerical methods.
This course covers industrial relations and organizational structures, project management, team work, inter-personal skills, and leadership in an engineering organization. A freshman level assessment will be administered. This course introduces the concepts of quality control and assurance. Topics include statistical control charts, attributes and variable sampling plans, quality philosophies, process capability, quality function deployment, ISO 9000 and quality auditing. Deterministic models of operations research are discussed with special emphasis on linear programming.
