The final group project is due at the end of the course.
Quarter Credit Hours: 10.5
Course Length: 160 hours
Prerequisites: Final Mod
Proficiency Exam: No
Theory Hours: 50
Laboratory Hours: 110
Externship Hours: 0
Outside Hours: 40
Total Contact Hours: 160

Required Resources:

  • Ground-based students are required to bring a late model laptop computer (either PC or MacBook) to class every day.

  • Online students are required to have a late model laptop or desktop computer with internet access.

  • Minimum: PC (Windows 10/11) or Mac (Big Sur or Monterey) laptop. 8GB ram, 512GB HD, Intel Core i5, AMD Ryzen 5, or Apple Intel or M1 Chipsets.

  • Recommended: PC (Windows 10/11) or Mac laptop(Big Sur or Monterey). 16GB ram, 1TB SSD, Intel Core i7, AMD Ryzen 7, or Apple M1/M1 Pro Chipsets.

  • Professionals: PC (Windows 10/11) or Mac(Big Sur or Monterey). 32-64 GB ram, 2-8TB SSD, Intel Core i9, AMD Ryzen 9/Threadripper, or Apple M1 Max Chipsets.

  • It is a requirement that you are able to download programming resources to your laptop/desktop for this class. (This means you need a steady internet high bandwidth connection.)

  • You are required to have a quiet place to study and to be able to focus on the material.

  • You are required to have uninterrupted weekly 1:1 video meetings with your mentor.

4 Group Project Week 4 Analyze Data
5 Group Project Week 5 Data Visualization and Reporting
6 Group Project Week 6 Presentation Preparation

In Class Activities-120 Hours

Students will organize into groups and select areas of interest in which to perform analysis and reporting. Students will meet regularly via Slack and Skype to communicate progress, findings, new ideas, and subsequent analytical strategy. It is expected that analytical process is documented and put in the summary of the project history. A project report with graphs and techniques will be prepared. Students will complete the following steps for the Data Science Program Group Project:

  1. Design a study used for the experimental process
  2. Create hypotheses suitable for statistical testing
  3. Develop a sampling plan to collect data
  4. Find and utilize existing data sources
  5. Collect the appropriate data to answer experimental questions
  6. Perform statistical analysis to facilitate data-based decision making
  7. Use database tools to retrieve data from databases
  8. Use programming tools to reformat data, create data visualizations, and perform analyses
  9. Execute a practical process monitoring protocol
  10. Use big data tools to deal with large datasets
  11. Apply common machine learning techniques and modeling techniques to create new knowledge

Outside Hours-40 Hours

Concepts learned during classwork will be reinforced through practical application throughout the group project work. Students will spend extensive amounts of time working as a group and individually on their tasks for the group project.

Educational Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Develop, practice, and improve their group communication skills.
  2. Develop project objectives.
  3. Apply effective research and organizational skills in preparing information.
  4. Learn how to successfully and effectively develop their group project.
