Abstract

When it comes down to understanding, predicting or optimizing business, the tools provided by statistics form an important corner stone. Training of statistics at university level is a crucial factor here and should be well aligned with the actual needs after graduation. Those needs depend on the actual business type involved, and are approached here from an engineer’s point of view. We will briefly touch some general trends and issues that might be considered when forming the new generation of engineers and statisticians.
