Data Analysis Techniques for Engineers & Technologists

Course Overview

As a consequence, more and more reliance is being placed upon the accurate and reliable analysis, representation and interpretation of data.

This course aims to provide engineers and technologists with the understanding and practical capabilities needed to convert data into information, and then to represent this information in ways that it can be readily exploited.

Course Objective

To provide delegates with a working vocabulary of analytical terms to enable them to converse with people who are experts in the areas of data analysis, statistics and probability, and to be able to read and comprehend common textbooks and journal articles in this field. To provide delegates with both an understanding and practical experience of a range of the more common analytical techniques and data representation methods, which have direct relevance to a wide range of analytical problems.

Who Should Attend?

The course has been designed for engineers, technologists, and managers whose jobs involve the manipulation, representation, and analysis of data.
