Introduction

No formal requirements over and above the admission requirements.

Required preliminary courses

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge:

The student has advanced knowledge of:

  • research methods, especially in engineering research
  • statistical and analytical techniques, including knowledge of the most common libraries and tools used in statistical analysis and visualisation of the results
  • designing experiments, preparing data and interpreting analysis results
  • how relevant statistical and computational techniques relate to each other and where they are used

Skills:

The student has:

  • required skills in setting up sound experiments, hypotheses and research questions, and in finding and preparing relevant data
  • required skills in identifying which statistical and analytical techniques are to be used and how and where they should be used
  • hands-on experience with some of the most common computational techniques and libraries as well as related tools for statistical analysis
  • hands-on experience with relevant tools for use in analyses

General competence:

The student:

  • has broad overview of the computational tools and techniques used in analysis and engineering research, including statistical techniques and techniques related to data science and machine learning
  • has an overview of the terminology related to statistical analysis and data science.
  • is able to design experiments for successful engineering research, analyses and critical interpretation of results
  • can extend his/her knowledge and skills in programming/scripting, analysing, managing and visualizing data
