In this class, we will not only answer the above questions, but we will also discuss examples of limitations and provide a seminar to share individual experiences of interacting with data and artificial intelligence. Conceptually, we will go over a day-to-day data science workflow and introduce opportunities to pursue Data Science internships through a non-profit called ChanR Analytics.


M196: Real World, Applied Data Science in Splash Winter 2020 (Feb. 01, 2020)
- How you can apply data science to change your life - How can you use maps to describe the impact of solar in California? (Guest speaker) - How can you use data science to prevent bullying? - How can you use data science to make money while you're sleeping? - How do self driving cars work? - How can data science help you improve your mental health? In this class, you will learn to solve real world issues with data science in a hands-on manner. We will develop an an end-to-end workflow which involves the use of Python programming, data collection, exploratory data analysis, geographic information systems (GIS), data visualization, data transformation, cloud computing and framework design. Machine Learning will be adopted to some extent from an understandable point of view, but actual predictive model development will take place in the Machine Learning course. - Students are encouraged to bring their own computers.
