BUAD 5762 - Capstone Project

(4) Prerequisite(s): BUAD 5122 - Machine Learning and Predictive Analytics, BUAD 5132 - Big Data and Cloud Computing Techniques, and BUAD 5802 - Artificial Intelligence Applications for Business

This experiential-based practicum course will include a comprehensive business analytics project that students will complete in small work teams. The projects will be hosted by businesses, government, or non-profit organizations. The students will complete the project from start to finish integrating the skills that have been acquired from the previous course work in the business analytics program. They will define and frame a complex problem, develop a systematic approach to solving it using analytics, identify methodologies that are suited to the problem, quickly prototype solutions with those methodologies to identify the best approach and, ultimately, generate an innovative solution and persuasively convey that solution using data visualization techniques and communication skills.
