Capstone Urban Science Intensive II: Data Analysis and Communications

(3 Credits)

Student teams will engage in projects through the identification of urban challenges, integration and analysis of data, testing of solutions, and development of implementation strategies and final recommendations. They will apply urban informatics within the realworld constraints of city operations, accounting for political, policy, financial, and ethical considerations. Through lectures, in-class discussions, and project updates, students will receive feedback from instructors and peers, develop skills to translate technical findings for a variety of audiences, navigate the complexities of project planning, team collaboration, and stakeholder communication, and understand ethical and regulatory considerations. Final deliverables will reflect the integration of each student’s disciplinary and domain expertise—spanning data science, policy, urban planning, and entrepreneurship. | Prerequisite: CUSP-GX 7103
