Applied Learning Project
At the conclusion of each course, learners will have the opportunity to complete a project which can be added to their portfolio of work. Projects include:
Address a Business Issue with Data Science
Extract, Transform, and Load Data
Data Analysis
Training a Machine Learning Model
Presenting a Data Science Project
This course is designed for business professionals that want to learn how to determine if a business issue is appropriate for a data science project and apply the data science process.
The typical student in this course will have experience in a business setting and a high-level understanding of fundamental data science concepts, including, but not limited to: types of data, data science roles, the overall data science lifecycle, and the benefits and challenges of data science.
This course is designed for business and data professional seeking to learn the first technical phase of the data science process known as Extract, Transform and Load or ETL.
Learners will be taught how to collect data from multiple sources so it is available to be transformed and cleaned and then will dive into collected data sets to prepare and clean data so that it can later be loaded into its ultimate destination. In the conclusion of the course learners will load data into its ultimate destination so that it can be analyzed and modeled. The typical student in this course will have experience working with data and aptitude with computer programming.
This course is designed for business professionals that want to learn how to analyze data to gain insight, use statistical analysis methods to explore the underlying distribution of data, use visualizations such as histograms, scatter plots, and maps to analyze data and preprocess data to produce a dataset ready for training.
The typical student in this course will have several years of experience with computing technology, including some aptitude in computer programming.
This course is designed for business professionals that wish to identify basic concepts that make up machine learning, test model hypothesis using a design of experiments and train, tune and evaluate models using algorithms that solve classification, regression and forecasting, and clustering problems.
To be successful in this course a learner should have a background in computing technology, including some aptitude in computer programming.
Communicate results of a model via web apps, and implement an d test pipelines that automate the model training, tuning and deployment process.
