Statistical Computing Laboratory

统计计算实验室三州大学的数学、工程和计算机科学专业正在分析与该地区周围湖泊环境问题有关的真实统计数据。通过使用联网的IBM兼容微型计算机和统计软件，使学生在基于微积分的概率统计序列中更好地理解统计原理和方法。该项目包括几个单独的实验和每个课程的一个小组项目。每组在课堂上口头陈述他们的结果，并完成一份书面报告。虽然课程中的所有小组都在研究同一个项目，但个别小组提出了不同的解决问题的方法。这种先分析问题，然后分析数据，然后将这一过程应用于实际环境情况的经验，对于作为年轻的专业科学家和工程师将面临问题解决的大学毕业生来说，是很好的准备。

Statistical Computing Laboratory Mathematics, engineering, and computer science majors at Tri- State University are analyzing real-life statistical data relating to environmental concerns of the area's surrounding lakes. By using networked IBM compatible microcomputers and statistical software, students in the calculus-based probability and statistics sequence are better understanding statistical principles and methods. The project involves several individual experiments and one group project for each course. Each group is presenting their results orally in class and also completing a written report. While all groups within the course are working on the same project, individual groups are presenting different approaches to the problem. This experience of analyzing the problem, followed by analyzing the data, and then applying this procedure to actual environmental situations is good preparation for college graduates who will face problem-solving as young professional scientists and engineers.
