In this course, students will learn how to analyze data arising from a broad array of observational and experimental studies. Topics covered will include exploratory graphics, description techniques, the fitting and assessment of statistical models, hypothesis testing, and communication of results. Specific topics may include multiple regression, ANOVA, and non-linear regression. Statistical software will be used.

This course fills gaps in ECE student's C programming background, needed for ECE-304, Junior Design Project. Students who have completed ECE-231 but are unsure of their embedded C programming background will benefit most from this course. The course will make use of the ATMEL Studio Integrated Programming Environment (IDE) and the ATMEGA328P Xplained Mini Development Board. This course ends at mid-semester, so that students are prepared to complete ECE-304.
