University of Management & Technology School of Science & Technology Department of Electrical Engineering EE 306 Probability and Statistics for Engineers Lecture Schedule As per timetable on EED Website Pre-requisite None Saleem Ata Instructor(s) Office 5thFloor SEN Building Semester Spring2016 Credit Hours 3 Contact [email protected] Office Hours See office door or EED Website Course Description The course is a basic core course in Electrical Engineering which shall build necessary background for courses in the area of communication. Course will include in-depth knowledge of Basic Probability Theory, Discrete and Continuous Random Variables, Functions of Random Variables, Expectations, Joint Distributions, Moment generating functions. The course directly contributes to objectivesa, d, e and f of the HEC Electrical Engineering Curriculum. Expected Outcomes Upon completion of this course, students will: Students shall be able to use probability concepts and random variables as a tool to model and solve practical problems with applications in Engineering. The course strongly supports expected outcomes a, b, d, I and p of the HEC Electrical Engineering Curriculum.
