In this course you will study how to analyse data captured from engineering enterprises and systems. You will be introduced to the key planning and control mechanisms for effective outcome and performance management. You will learn the general principles and methodologies of data analysis and statistics which form the basis for modelling of engineering systems. You will work on the sample models that will help you to realise the causal relationships of different operating parameters. You will develop skills in data analysis fundamentals, regression analysis, data mining, forecasting, discriminant analysis, simulation and queuing analysis, project control, decision support management tools, some of which will be developed on spreadsheets.
