Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course students should be able to:
- solve a variety of statistical problems that they will encounter in other courses in the 2nd and later years;
- to model and solve some common civil engineering problems via the use of calculus;
- calculate the safety margins and probability of failure of simple structures given statistical information about the strengths and loadings.
