Importance of statistics to mechanical engineering?

Answer 1

1. Design of Experiments (DOE) uses statistical techniques to test and construct models of engineering components and systems.

2. Quality control and process control use statistics as a tool to manage conformance to specifications of manufacturing processes and their products.

3. Time and methods engineering uses statistics to study repetitive operations in manufacturing in order to set standards and find optimum (in some sense) manufacturing procedures.

4. Reliability engineering uses statistics to measures the ability of a system to perform for its intended function (and time) and has tools for improving performance.

5. Probabilistic design uses statistics in the use of probability in product and system design.

Answer 2

Truly mechanical engineering is a great course to study, because it have made lives to be easy for us, constructing of machinery for easy transportation, productions etc. Am happy to be a mechanical student to make an improvement in construction and designing of machines.
