Description The aim of the module is to :
  • provide basic information on statistics: normal distribution, hypothesis testing, correlation and regression;
  • introduce the student to a range of experimental methods to supplement the lecture courses;
  • give experience in the extraction of information, critical assessment of results, and report writing;
  • introduce the student to statistical analysis methods and their application in dealing with technical uncertainty in experimental work and manufacturing.
Learning Outcomes By the end of the module the student should be able to:
  • Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of mathematical principles necessary to underpin their education in mechanical and related engineering disciplines and be able to apply mathematical methods, tools and notations proficiently in the analysis and solution of engineering problems.
  • Understand engineering principles and the ability to apply them to analyse key engineering processes.
  • Demonstrate a knowledge of characteristics of particular equipment, processes or products.
  • Demonstrate engineering workshop and laboratory skills.
  • Understand the use of technical literature and other information sources.
  • Work with technical uncertainty.
