Title

Exploring Engineers’ Understanding of Uncertainty

Author(s)

Aggarwal, Riya
Flynn, Mira
del Rosario, Zachary

Description

There are long-standing examples of how engineers’ education in probability and statistics has not been sufficient. This work presents a novel theoretical framework to help teach and study statistical variability. Using this framework, we developed an interview guide and deductive coding scheme to use in interviews with engineering students. Early results from these interviews support our initial hypothesis of a slight induced variability bias.
