ENCE302

Probability and Statistics for Civil and Environmental Engineers

Prerequisite: MATH246 and ENCE201; and permission of ENGR-Civil & Environmental Engineering department. Statistics is the science of data. Civil Engineers must often make decisions based on incomplete, variable or uncertain information. In addition, modern methods of design and analysis need to account for variability in natural, engineered and human systems. After successful completion of this class, a student should have facility and familiarity with established basic techniques for managing data, modeling variability and uncertainty, communicating about data and decisions, and supporting or defending a decision or judgment based on uncertain or incomplete data.
