, includeteaching fundamental, traditional topics using new methods, approaches, and strategies.Statistics is a skill that is essential for all engineering and technology professionals, but has notbeen overly emphasized over the years. Many graduates will frequently need to use these toolsonce they enter the workforce. This is especially true for those involved in research anddevelopment as well as testing and validation activities. Basic and applied statistics is key toanalyzing laboratory studies, deciphering what the data mean, and discerning trends andpatterns1. Even so, the teaching of statistics to engineers has been the subject of only a fewstudies in recent years2-4. Essential statistics topics should include independent and dependent

with concentrations incivil, electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering disciplines. Implemented on a semesterschedule, the degree program consists of a 50-hour core curriculum for all concentrations, 51hours of general education requirements, and 27 hours of concentration-specific upper divisioncurricula, including 9 hours of electives. Thus, the degree comprises 128 credit hours. Passingthe NCEES Fundamentals of Engineering Exam is a further requirement for graduation. Thereare approximately 250 students and ten full-time-equivalent faculty members.Need for CourseTo provide wider educational breadth for upper division mechanical and industrial concentrationstudents, engineering department faculty in those concentration areas
