given the two beverages in random order to taste. Among them, 270 preferred the soft
drink maker’s brand, 211 preferred the competitor’s brand, and 19 could not make up
their minds. Determine whether there is sufficient evidence, at the 5% level of
significance, to support the soft drink maker’s claim against the default that the
population is evenly split in its preference.

equally well in providing weight-loss for customers. In order to assess a difference
between the two diets, she puts 50 customers on diet A and 60 other customers on diet

and a standard deviation of 3 pounds, while those on the latter lost an average of 8
pounds with a standard deviation of 2 pounds. Do the diets differ in terms of their

Preamble:
The purpose of this course is to
i) introduce the undergraduate engineering studentsthe fundamental principles of
design engineering,
ii) make them understand the steps involved in the design process and
iii) familiarize them with the basic tools used and approaches in design.
Students are expected to apply design thinking in learning as well as while practicing
engineering, which is very important and relevant for today. Case studies from various
practical situations will help the students realize that design is not only concerned about the
function but also many other factors like customer requirements, economics, reliability, etc.
along with a variety of life cycle issues.
The course will help students to consider aesthetics, ergonomics and sustainability factors in
designs and also to practice professional ethics while designing.
