statistical thinking which helps in seeing orderwhere an ordinary eye sees only randomness and chaos. The engineer will see that there areunderlying patterns in the random phenomena, which can be captured in distributions such asnormal, Weibull, gamma, etc., provided to us by mathematicians. Such modeling also helps inunderstanding relationships among variables that are clouded in variability, which in turn enablesprediction of their future behavior. When an engineer with such an ability views processes thatproduce products, he/she is able to see signals among noise, extract meaningful relationships amongvariables and gain a deeper knowledge about processes. This empirical knowledge when combinedwith the physical, chemical and other technological
