Discuss Mason's notion that you are to be an engineer first and a statistician second. What does that mean to you in terms of ho
w you think about the career you are studying to begin, and how do you think this class might impact a job interview you might ultimately go on later in your studies
What use are statistics if there is no engineer to use them? In other words, a statistician corrects, improves, reinforces, and supports an engineer in building / designing / developing a new product and / or improving an existing product.
The statistician provides a special kind of vision through which I see the same problem in a completely different vision. So you can see the strengths, weaknesses of my product and the promise of improvements that can be made.
Each class of statistics is essential for a student to see and understand a problem in a whole new way where it is much easier to understand information.
