Applied Data Science for Engineers
This course aims at providing basics of Data Science to students and professionals who need to work with and analyze a large volume of data. The base programming language is Matlab, but techniques taught, and topics covered can be coded in any programming language (examples from Python and Fortran will be discussed). The course is aimed at graduate students in engineering, and therefore examples, assignments and the course project are from real life scenarios and engineering problems.
Topics
- The objective is to provide the students with a set of important tools that are necessary in analyzing large data. This course is designed for those with little programming experience or background in data science.
- By the end of this course students should be able to handle, analyze and interpret a large volume of data associated with a specific problem. The examples are given from the engineering and physical world (oceans, atmosphere, machines). The expected outcome is to make sense of a large data set, identifying features, prediction of the future state of the system, and performing optimization.
