My Objectives
• To provide you with concepts, methods and
techniques that
- are relevant to engineering practice
- provide a balance between theory and
application
• To provide you some benefits of my many years
of industry experience
- example applications
- lessons learned
- career guidance

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.
12
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 & engineering 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 and interpretation of results.

Operating Mode
• Lecture material will be posted on my website in
accordance with the Course Outline.
• Check “Announcements” in the Blackboard system
frequently to be aware of any announcements or
updates.
• I will use charts (hard copy) printed from the
website for basic material, but may mark up in
class to illustrate concepts or to make a point.
17
Operating Mode _ Continued
• Download & print charts prior to class for your use
during class (see Power Point/Printing help on my
website if needed)
• You should note any key points, etc, during lecture
on the charts you printed from the website.
• Homework Problems (for credit) will be posted on
Blackboard system under Assignments
18
Operating Mode (continued)
• My solutions to homework problems and midterm
exam will be provided via blackboard after receipt
of your assignment and after receiving your exam
solutions
Inform me of any errors, or suspected errors
immediately with “Urgent” in subject line of your
email
19
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
20
Homework Due Date
• On-Campus Students:
- turn in homework assignments at the
beginning of the class within one week after
receiving the assignment
• Distance Students:
- Homework assignments are due within one week
after viewing the assignment DVD for off-campus
students
Retain a copy of everything you submit
21
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.
22
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
23
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
24
Homeworks - Submission Guidelines, continued
• 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.
• 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”.
25
Exams - Instructions
• Mid Term and Final Exams will be in-class
(proctored)
• Exams should not be taken until the material for the
previous lecture has been viewed
• Exams should not be taken until solutions have been
received for all homework submitted
• Open book and notes
• Calculator Required
 Turn cell phones off
• Clearly box your answers
• Independent work
• Staple, do not fold
• Write your name on each page

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.

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.
