Course description and aims

In many fields of Industrial Engineering and Economics, we conduct research by collecting a wide variety of data, analyzing them, and validating hypotheses. The goal of this course is to learn various methods for collection and analysis of data necessary for industrial engineering and economics research.
Each lecture is followed by an exercise for comprehension of the methods learned.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students are expected to:
(1) understand characteristics of various kinds of data.
(2) understand characteristics of various methods of data collection and be able to select appropriate methods depending on purposes.
(3) understand characteristics of various methods of data analysis and be able to select appropriate methods depending on purposes.

Keywords

qualitative data, quantitative data, statistics, multivariable analysis

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

A pair of lecture and exercise is a basic unit for this course. Knowledge and methods learned in lecture is further exercised in the following class.
