. Page 15.90.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2010 A Sophomore Level Data Analysis Course Based on Best Practices from the Engineering Education LiteratureIntroductionAs educators are well aware, the customary educational setting in which students developproblem solving skills is one where the numerical values presented are specific and absolute. Thedeterministic nature of the end-of-chapter type problems is imbedded in their minds well beforestudents even matriculate.1,2 However, as practicing engineers, they will confront the variationassociated with measured data in the real world. Ideally, it is beneficial to prompt students toattend to the concept of variation early in their undergraduate studies. This

Finally, thereader may want to consult the article by Rugarcia et al. on methods to establish a culturefor a research university that maintains a strong engineering education emphasis. 42It must be noted that there are unique issues
