IntroductionRecent assessments of the skills required by engineers have revealed that current engineeringcurricula need to be revised to show students the techniques and value of statistical analyses. Inparticular, the recent ABET2000 initiative highlighted the need for fundamental statistics, dataanalysis, and design of experiments.The authors of this paper have been involved in the instruction of statistics courses forengineering students in various areas, and have recently instituted a series of projects within theclassroom to enhance the students’ awareness of the need for statistics.This paper presents a brief

Results indicate students increased their skills in several engineering tasks, theirconfidence and sense of belonging in engineering increased slightly, and students had fewerhesitations to declare an engineering major at the conclusion of the course than prior to thecourse.BackgroundInstitutions of higher learning, including the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA), areactively seeking to broaden participation in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics(STEM) education and have systemic efforts in place to accomplish this goal.
