The course is designed to give a basic understanding of probability and statistics, as related to engineering problem solving, with an emphasis on marine applications. Topics covered include basic descriptive statistics, probability analysis, probability distributions, uncertainty estimation, time-series analysis, confidence limits, and regression analysis. While the course involves a blend of theory and analytics, practical applications of probability and statistics to engineering in the marine environment will be emphasized. Additionally, this course covers the general topics of the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam.
