Engineering Probability and Statistics (AGE 1150)

AGE 1150 Engineering Probability & Statistics, is a 3-credit hour (3 weekly lectures, and 1 tutorial session) second-year course. The course is designed to introduce students to the concepts of Probability and probability distribution, Mathematical expectations of random variables. Discrete and continuous distributions. Sampling distributions, Estimation, testing of hypothesis, Regression and correlation. Distribution functions. Statistical Analysis. Statistical Design of Experiment. Engineering Applications. During this course, special emphasis is placed on real-life examples in which the above mentioned concepts are relevant. Throughout the semester, students are required to submit homework assignments, and take frequent quizzes.  The intent of these activities is to deepen the students’ understanding of basic engineering probability and statistics knowledge, raise their awareness of engineering issues related to engineering, and strengthen their ability to work in teams.
