>Study chemical engineering.
>Get out in the automotive and O&G industry as a process engineer.
>Realize statistics and 1/16th of the chemical engineering knowledge from college are the only applicable methods for determining process anomalies and variation in your process.
>Barely remember stats outside of normal, binomial distributions, correlations, etc.
>Really insecure when using distributions for determining process variations.
>Just do a normal distribution and it just works when I know what's going on.
>Did a crash course on statistics through youtube and Myke King's book Statistical approach to Process Controls.
To any would be chemical engineer out there. Remember your stats class and learn it like the bible. I'd argue that if you learn stats well. You're ahead of about 75%-85% of the process engineers out there. Simply because you can determine process issues overlooked or discarded by even the most seasoned process engineers.
