The Iowa State University Digital Press is pleased to announce the "re-publication" of Basic Engineering Data Collection and Analysis. Through rights reversion, this textbook has been graciously made open access by the original authors. Having been used in Iowa State University's Engineering Statistics courses for 20 years now, the authors hope that their work can reach an even broader audience now that it is free to access online.

Book description:
In Basic Engineering Data Collection and Analysis, Stephen B. Vardeman and J. Marcus Jobe stress the practical over the theoretical. Step-by-step, students get real engineering data and scenario examples along with chapter-long case studies that illustrate concepts in realistic, thoroughly detailed situations. This approach encourages students to work through the material by carrying out data collection and analysis projects from problem formulation through the preparation of professional technical reports—just as if they were on the job.


In addition to the main text, ancillaries and additional materials from the original accompanying CD have been made available by the authors. A Solution Manual to accompany the text will also be added to the book's contents will also be shared later this semester.

All the best,
