the same time, to develop educational experiences thatcould efficiently improve learning outcomes.2) Looking at risk management and uncertainty: Engineering design is carried out relying onincomplete data, imperfect models, often with unclear objectives, and other potential problemsand constraints. The effects of such uncertainties on the design of a project may have seriousconsequences unless proper safeguards have been undertaken based on probabilistic andstatistical approaches to design and factors affecting design. Some have argued that currentundergraduate curricula greatly underemphasize the theory and application of probability andstatistics in engineering(9) .Research has revealed that people are generally prone to seriouserrors in

University is a public, urban, research university located in the heart of Detroit.The University has a dual mission: to provide a top education to students backed by cutting-edgeresearch; and to serve as a school of opportunity to many qualified students who may have noother options for a university education. In 2003, the College of Engineering assessed therelationship between math placement and the success rate of its entering freshmen. Anevaluation of students entering the College of Engineering in 1999 demonstrated that over 60percent of freshmen qualified for placement only in either basic or intermediate algebra.
