Some of the students would be able to apply what they learned in thisclass for their data science and data analysis of their master’s theses.

Engineersare then able to make informed choices under uncertainty by integrating and implementingquantitative risk models, expected utility theory, Bayesian analysis, and sensitivity analysis based onreadily available data at the point in time of making the decision. This structured approach is necessaryfor engineers, preventing them from making less than ideal solutions and avoiding prematureconvergence [3].By taking the entire system lifecycle into consideration, a holistic and interdisciplinary approachallows engineers to seek out interdependencies, feedback loops, and emergent behaviors that maynot arise during linear analysis. This is a form of tradespace exploration where engineers

Engineering design tasks require students to engage with both the technical and thesocial as they navigate the complexities of collaborative decision-making. Oftentimes, decisionpoints are where these technical and social aspects of engineering come to a head; students mustwork collaboratively to choose a solution, while balancing the disciplinary ideas relevant to theirdesign problem.
