Data Science and Engineering
EECS researchers are developing new tools and methods in data collection, integration, cleansing, and representation. In addition to innovative data gathering and management, EECS researchers advance all aspects of modeling, including model construction, selection, averaging, evaluation, and interpretation. The multidisciplinary research identifies and deploys data science and engineering components for efficient solutions to real-world problems in medicine, science, industry, and other numerous other fields.
Program Objectives
- Understand fundamental principles and algorithms of data science and engineering.
- Understand the data collection, data integration, data cleansing, data representation, model construction, model selection, model averaging, model evaluation, and model interpretation components in data science and engineering.
- Understand how to identify data science and engineering components and provide efficient solutions in solving real-world problems.
