I took a "Statistics for Engineers" course while at university. It was mostly focused around ANOVA and hypothesis testing. By the end of the course I was sick of hearing the phrase "Null hypothesis". I wish the course had introduced some more practical applications instead it was very high level and theoretical. Working as an engineer now (Materials Engineering) here is a short list from the top of my head of what I feel are useful statistics applications that were not covered in uni. - Alternative probability distributions (Rosin-Ramler) - Harmonic and Geometric means - Multivariate regression - Statistical Sampling techniques (how to obtain a representative sample and avoid sampling bias) - Statistical process control - Time Series analysis
