3.3. Individual Assignments

The purpose of this assignment is to develop students’ proficiency in using MS Excel for advanced data analysis and decision-making in engineering and technical contexts. Through hands-on experience with real-world datasets, students will learn to analyze and visualize data, clean and filter large datasets, and apply statistical tools to draw meaningful conclusions. By focusing on tasks such as assessing the strength of spot welds and analyzing weather data, students will enhance their ability to interpret technical data, utilize MS Excel’s Data Analysis ToolPak, and make evidence-based recommendations. This assignment prepares students to handle complex data challenges, reinforcing their analytical skills and their capacity to make informed decisions in professional engineering environments.

Guidelines

This assignment has two tasks worth 5 points each.

Successful Completion

1. Read each task carefully. You are responsible for following all instructions within each task. The table above lists everything you need to submit.

2. When your work is complete, confirm your deliverables are submitted to Gradescope.

3. Late submissions will be accepted up to 24 hours after the due date. There is a 25% penalty for late submissions.

4. Unless mentioned otherwise, for all programming tasks (Python or MATLAB), team and individual, you will be generating a flowchart.

Using Gradescope

View the Gradescope help for online assignments if you need assistance with submitting your work.

Accessing Gradescope for the first time in ENGR 133?

1. Log into Brightspace and open your ENGR 133 course.

2. Click Content from the black menu ribbon at the top of the page.

3. Click Welcome to ENGR 133 from the Table of Contents in the left sidebar.

4. Click the link titled Click here to access Gradescope.

5. Select the assignment you are ready to submit.

Opening Gradescope through Brightspace will auto-enroll you in the Gradescope course for your section. You can access Gradescope through Brightspace throughout the semester.

• You can resubmit to Gradescope as many times as you need. Only your final submission is graded.

• If you cannot copy-paste into Gradescope, then you may need to refresh or update your browser. Use a search engine to find a solution for your specific browser.

Guidelines for Individual Tasks

• You may seek help on individual tasks from classmates, the instructional team, or others but the work that you submit should always be your own.

• If you collaborate with others and use information developed together or by someone else, ALWAYS document and reference that material.
