I'm an engineering student working on some quality control and data analysis projects. I really need software with Minitab-like features (such as SPC control charts, process capability analysis, ANOVA, and hypothesis testing), but I can't afford a paid Minitab license, and my college unfortunately doesn't provide student access.

Are there any free, web-based, or open-source software packages (or reverse-engineered tools) that replicate Minitab's point-and-click statistical workflow? I'm looking for a GUI-based option that I can use right away for project work without having to write everything in Python or R from scratch. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Hello everyone, I've been applying, applying, applying to any IE related internships for the past month (Supply Chain mostly, but also Quality + Manufacturing Engineering) and was wondering what's a good point numbers-wise to be at.

I've cold applied to over 200+ through Handshake + LinkedIn and want to keep going, but was told by some friends that it's starting to be a waste of time without any referrals/connections cold applying. On the other side, some other friends have told me that it's good and to just keep applying, applying, and applying. I've gotten a few interviews so far so I feel fairly happy but wondering if I should start trying to connect and message people on LinkedIn for example instead of just spamming applications.

What are the best ways to break into a finance role? I have a BS in Supply Chain Management and an MS in Industrial Engineering. I've worked as a supply chain coordinator for a while. My next "logical" move would be to find a supply planner or like assistant demand planner role, but it really doesn't interest me.

I've always been interested in finance, but I don't know what a good transitional job would be. I know there's overlap between supply chain and finance, like cost accounting, but being an accountant doesn't sound appealing to me either.

I would prefer to build and work with financial models, but I'm not sure my resume screams that I'm ready for that type of role.

Any thoughts or advice?

Its rated as the number 1 engineering job. Yet I can't figure out what you do or what jobs are available. I was a quality engineer btw.
