Homework Problems

Homework (Assignments)
• Homework problems (for credit) will be posted on
Blackboard system with the Due Date
• Homework problem solutions shall be independent
work
• Submit your solutions via blackboard utilizing
submission guidelines
• Review my solutions on Blackboard system
• Your grades will be posted on the blackboard
system within 1 week of receipt
10
Homework Due Date
Turn in homework assignments at the
beginning of the class within one week after
receiving the assignment
Retain a copy of everything you submit
11
Homework Problem Grades
• Grades will be posted on the blackboard system.
• Individual assignments will receive a grade from 0
to 10 in 0.5 increments.
• Assignments will receive a 10 if and only if the
answer is correct and the method for obtaining the
answer is correct.
• If a student misinterprets a problem, but solves it
correctly according to his misinterpretation, the
assignment may receive a 10 if it covers the topics
required.
12
Homework Problem Grades (continued)
• A maximum of 9.0 can be obtained if the answer is
wrong, but method is correct
• If one part of the problem is marked down,
subsequent part that rely on this original part will
not be marked down because of this error, but may
be marked down for other reasons
• Assignments showing no method but only the
correct answer will not receive more than a 5.0
• The reason for any points lost will be indicated on
the comments of your assignments on Blackboard
system
13
Homeworks - Submission Guidelines
• Please submit the homework via blackboard
system. Your id is your SMU id number. Your
password is same as your SMU account
password.
• For the submission problem, contact TA or
Grader.
• MS Word, Excel and Power Point are the
preferred file type for attachments. The
equation editor is worth your time to learn. You
can easily insert scanned images into these
documents.
14
Homeworks - Submission Guidelines, continued
• Avoid scanning your work and sending it as a large
image. This is an inefficient use of the internet.
Make images 72 dpi, and use color only if
necessary.
• Use color only if necessary, and do not use shading.
• Do not send zipped files, or other files which have
been compressed. It is easier to optimize the file.
• These files may be printed, so please do not make
the print area larger than 8.5” X 11”.

Course Description
This course is an introduction to fundamentals
of probability, probability distributions and
statistical techniques used by engineers and
physical scientists. Topics include basic concepts
and rules of probability, random variables,
probability distributions, expectation and variance,
sampling and sampling distributions, statistical
analysis techniques, statistical inference –
estimation and tests of hypothesis, correlation
and regression, and analysis of variance.
34
Course Objectives
To prepare students with diverse technical
backgrounds and objectives with fundamental
probabilistic & statistical concepts, methods, and
techniques for use in continuing graduate studies
and in engineering & technical management
through a balance of theory and application
involving engineering decision making, including
situations in which uncertainty and risk are
important. Emphasis is placed on problem
definition, solution, interpretation of results, and
presentation.

The 4+1 Master’s Degree Program
The 4+1 Program permits the SMU Engineering student to
study towards B.S. and M.S degrees simultaneously and
possibly with fewer courses than if taken separately. Up to
nine (9) SCH of graduate course work can be applied
towards the undergraduate degree requirements. In such
cases, students may fulfill both bachelors and masters
degree requirements in as few as 21 SCH beyond the B.S.
coursework.

m.html
45
Roadmap to Multiple Masters Degrees with
Fewer Total Courses
SMU’s School of Engineering permits its graduate students
to take advantage of degree-requirement overlaps to
acquire a second Masters degree by taking as few as six
courses (18 semester credit hours). This is available for
prospective and current graduate students, as well as
alumni who have already received a MS from SMU.
