Integration of Probabilistic and Statistical Design Methods into Engineering Design Courses

工程-机械(56)这个概念验证项目正在创建教学模块和课程材料，将概率和统计方法整合到工程设计入门和顶尖课程中。这些材料将通过向工科学生提供将概率和统计应用于工程设计问题的技能来弥合纯粹的“概率与统计”课程和工程设计课程之间的差距。该项目正在开发一门“概率工程设计”的顶峰课程，涵盖基本的概率和统计工程设计方法，如实验设计、稳健设计和基于可靠性的设计。研究人员正在与工业界合作，开发一本名为《概率工程设计》的教科书，以及相关的MatLab工具箱和软件；评估该项目；并开发学生项目。正在开发的概率工程设计的MatLab工具箱将帮助学生理解概率和统计设计方法，并将这些方法应用于工程分析和设计。课程网站上提供了笔记、辅助材料、项目和考试。

Engineering-Mechanical (56) This proof-of-concept project is creating teaching modules and course materials that integrate probabilistic and statistical methods into introductory and capstone engineering design courses. The materials will bridge the gap between a pure "Probability and Statistics" course and engineering design courses by providing engineering students with the skills to apply probability and statistics to engineering design problems.The project is developing a "Probabilistic Engineering Design" capstone course that covers basic probabilistic and statistical engineering design methods, such as Design of Experiments, Robust Design, and Reliability-Based Design. The investigators are working collaboratively with industry to develop a textbook titled "Probabilistic Engineering Design" with associated Matlab Toolbox and software; to evaluate the project; and to develop student projects. The Matlab Toolbox of Probabilistic Engineering Design being developed will help students understand probabilistic and statistical design methods and apply those methods in engineering analysis and design. Notes, supporting materials, projects, and exams are provided within the course website.
