Project Examples
Beginning in January, students in groups of 1-4 will spend 42+ hours spread over 12 weeks assisting your company by providing analytical research and recommendations tailored to one of your company’s data opportunities or challenges.
Students may work with the company in one of three ways:
- Assist organizations in data gathering research and/or prepare data for future use by the organization. Students can help design and model databases to gather and store data for future analysis.
- Assist organizations in preparing existing data for analysis. Students may perform data quality checks, data cleaning, and data transformation exercises on existing data to ready data for analysis by the organization.
- Assist organizations in data analysis. Using organizational data, students may conduct data analysis and design data analytics reports to be delivered to the firm.
Project examples include but are not limited to:
- Analysis of customer segmentation relative to different products and services, to enhance marketing campaigns and refocus your products/services.
- Investigate predictive models to understand trends in sales, attrition rates, and profits that impact your business.
- Propose new ways to visualize data through tables and plots that can provide new insights for managers.
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
Be available for a quick phone call with the instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the course.
Provide a dedicated contact who is available to answer periodic emails or phone calls over the duration of the project to address students' questions.
