AB  -         Uncertainty about Uncertainty: what constitutes “knowledge of        probability and statistics appropriate to the program name and              objectives” in our program accreditation criteriaAbstractEAC of ABET program accreditation criteria for Electrical, Computer, andsimilarly named engineering programs include the requirement that the programmust demonstrate that graduates have knowledge of probability and statistics,including applications appropriate to the program name and objectives. In thispaper, we examine what knowledge this might be and why this is a non-trivialquestion to answer. Probability and statistics appear in many places in the field ofelectrical engineering and the tools appropriate in one application can be quitemisleading in another. Without a deep understanding of the underlying principles,students can easily become confused by the great variety of statistical techniquesavailable to them and may form the impression that statistics is a bag of tricks withno underlying principles to provide guidance. Since professional statisticians stilldisagree about some of the most fundamental concepts in their field we must askthe question of how we can be sure that we are meeting this requirement foraccreditation. Our goals are to identify patterns of topics in which probability andstatistics are applied in electrical engineering and to note how the applications (andin some cases even the fundamental concepts involved) differ between thesedifferent topics.
