CSCI 4900 Data Science Capstone

In this Capstone course for Data Science minors, students will apply their skills to real-world projects by working in teams on data science challenges provided by faculty members across the university. Projects may involve machine learning applications for STEM and social science research or data-driven insights for research in the humanities, education, nursing, or social work. Students will be assigned to teams according to their individual interests and major field of study, and they will meet regularly outside of class with their assigned faculty research mentor. The instructor and one or more graduate TAs will provide instruction and guidance during the weekly class meeting. The course will culminate in a final paper and a public presentation, either in a poster session or a series of talks, showcasing the students findings and analyses.
