FEEG6025: Data Analysis & Experimental Methods for Engineers Assignment


The aim of this coursework is to help you develop and apply your understanding of the research study design
process and a wide range of data analysis techniques. Together with study design, data analysis skills will be
essential for your dissertation and are highly likely to be important in your future careers because you may be
asked to carry out data analysis as part of research studies or to manage others (including statisticians) to do
the data analysis on your behalf. This assignment is intended to partially reflect real work conditions so we
expect you to discover, synthesise and reference appropriate background resources although we will of course
provide technical support and guidance where needed.
