Learner goals and capabilities

Students will dedicate 240 hours over a 12 week period to complete a data science based project. We ask that the client e-meets candidates for 1 hour a week to keep them on track.

This is a project-based course where students learn through meetings and informal discussions with other students, the project manager and client. Their learning is in the ’doing’, where students will carry out all the necessary steps to successfully complete the project.

All learning activities in this course are based on applying data science knowledge in a process of planning and executing a substantial research-based project or industry-sponsored capstone project experience.
