A Statistical Profile of Engineering Notes from Engineering Your Future, Ch4

This document provides a comprehensive overview of engineering statistics relevant to students and administrators at SJSU. It covers essential topics such as plotting data in Excel, analyzing engineering enrollments, and calculating starting salaries based on historical data. Key questions explored include predicting future first-year enrollment using past data (1975-1980) and assessing error percentages in those predictions. Moreover, it highlights the significance of engineering degrees awarded and salary trends from the NACE Salary Survey.
