Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

WIMASc125 (P450-0137, P450-0138) Industrial Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.10.2014 , semester 1, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 180 hours (equivalent to 6 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 135 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
WIMASc215 Quality Management / Cost Management
WIMAScWPF-Ing1 IT Project 1
WIMAScWPF-Ing8 IT Projects 1+2

Module content:
Statistical Methods Put into Practice:
1. Statistical induction
2. Correlation analysis
3. _Regression analysis
4. Factor analysis
5. Cluster analysis
 
Information and Communication Technology:
Students will work in teams to find an IT-supported solution to a business-oriented task. To do so, they must analyze the task and create a concept for its solution. They will then create an application prototype based on their concept.
