"In Basic Engineering Data Collection and Analysis, Stephen B. Vardeman and J. Marcus Jobe stress the practical over the theoretical. Step by step, students get real engineering data and scenario examples along with chapter-long case studies that illustrate concepts in realistic, thoroughly detailed situations. This approach encourages students to work through the statistics by carrying data collection and analysis projects from problem formulation through preparation of professional technical reports - just as if they were on the job."--BOOK JACKET.
