Purpose
This seminar provides an opportunity to apply statistical skills acquired in earlier courses. Participants learn to synthesize and evaluate the results of research and data gathering efforts as intelligent researchers, presenters, and consumers of data; and ask correct and appropriate questions, make appropriate observations, and suggest sensible follow-up strategies when presented with the results of industrial research. Participants conduct analyses for case studies with actual data collected in the past from both the customer and vendor perspective and from actual plant/engineering research studies.
