DATA 543 - Capstone

(3) Leu. Prerequisite(s): DATA 510

The capstone project aims to provide students an opportunity to integrate and apply core knowledge and skill components in Data Science that were acquired during the program in a complex real-world project driven setting. The problems we will address in this course will be related to the general theme of Data Science, and will therefore include extensive use of various big data sources and machine learning tools. In this environment students will be required to define possible scenarios, identify key challenges, explore possible solutions and deliver an effective solution. Given its nature, a capstone project often goes beyond a single discipline and require the application of varied disciplines to the solution of a single large-scale problem.
