Long Title: APPLIED STATISTICS AND DATA SCIENCE FOR ENGINEERING LEADERS

Department: Center Engineering Leadership

Grade Mode: Standard Letter

Language of Instruction: Taught in English

Course Type: Lecture

Credit Hours: 3

Description: Modern engineering leaders face myriad projects and problems that involve the generation, collection, analysis, visualization and interpretation of data, much of which is now known as big data (upwards of millions of observations) and/or high-dimensional (upwards of millions of variables). In turn, engineering leaders must be able to leverage the abundance of data to generate new knowledge and be proficient in data-driven decision making. This course will provide a foundation in statistics and data science with a view toward preparing engineering leaders to engage and direct teams in data based solutions to engineering problems.
