The data science project course will allow students to take the knowledge gained in each of the four required courses and apply them to a data driven problem. Students will work in groups and can either choose a project provided by SDS faculty or can propose a project for approval. Upon completion of the course students will be required to present their results and publish project content to an open forum.
