[AT] OT Bicycle program

[Stephen Offiler]

I never took a whole semester of Statistics.  Instead, we had a course
called Engineering Experimentation, which was heavy on experiment design
and statistical data analysis.  That gave me a very good appreciation for
the practical application of statistics.   Out in the real world,
on-the-job training programs in quality control principles in manufacturing
(Deming, Juran, Lean Six Sigma) continued to solidify the practical
applications.
