Papel de la estadística en la formación del ingeniero mecánico.

The Statistic is one of the branches of Mathematics of great incidence in the present time; since it takes accentuated part in investigations and/or scientific methods by means of experimentation and observation. In several occasions, it is necessary to make a suitable use of the models and statistical methods for solution and interpretation of the problems that appear continuously in the field of investigations of Mechanical Engineering, in this manner is guaranteed the efficiency and trustworthiness in results, reason for which to obtain a preparation of the futures professional in this science is fundamental, and is responsibility of the Universities in different stages in the formation of the student. In this paper is shown fundamental aspects of the experience in education the Statistical in predegree and its extension to the education of postdegree in Mechanical Engineering, in this sense has been obtained, in first instance, to tie the subject with the profile of the mechanical engineer by means of the accomplishment by the students of extra classes duties in where they create problems of the specialty, in which it is necessary the use of these techniques, in order to stimulate the motivation in the field of studies and to develop the investigative spirit in the students. On the other hand, the use of professional software within the process of education makes agile the obtaining of results that later will be interpreted by the students, which makes possible a wide types of problems to approach.
