MINITAB IN ACADEMIA
 
Virginia Tech: Learning with Minitab in the Classroom and on the Factory Floor

Virginia-Tech-logoVirginia Tech’s award-winning statistics professor, G. Geoff Vining, trusts Minitab Statistical Software to assist him in his teaching efforts in the classroom and on the factory floor.  Minitab makes statistics easier for him to teach—and for his students to learn. 

"When the call is mine to make," he says, "we use Minitab."

Vining has made that call many times. He’s used Minitab to teach undergraduate and graduate classes, to teach professional workshops for companies and industry groups, and to prepare his award-winning statistics textbooks. And those experiences have made very clear what makes Minitab such a good fit for a wide variety of tasks and audiences.

SixSigmaIQ Calls Minitab 16 a Compelling Upgrade  Minitab 16

SixSigmaIQ, a leading Web site for quality improvement professionals, gives Minitab 16 Statistical Software great marks in its detailed review.

"I am a Six Sigma practitioner, not a statistician," reports reviewer Michael Mercer, an ASQ Certified Quality Engineer. "Minitab acknowledges that there are many people like me, and its new version helps Six Sigma practitioners better understand which analysis to run, and how to better understand the results."  

In addition to highlighting the Assistant, the SixSigmaIQ review also extols the software's DMAIC toolbar, its ability to send output directly into Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, enhanced design of experiments (DOE) features, and its ability to quickly import large data files.

  VOICE OF THE CUSTOMER 


"The main advantage of Minitab is its beautiful simplicity, which makes it easy to learn and use. In our experience, a single introductory session is all that is required to get even relatively computer phobic and statistically illiterate students up and running with the package... Other packages are harder to use and students often get frustrated when trying to remember such basics as how to read in or enter data."

- John Eales and Julian Stander, School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Plymouth

A university-wide annual enterprise license (AEL) offers students, faculty, and staff unlimited access to Minitab 16 in campus labs and a personal copy for home use.
