Capstone
Course Description
This capstone course provides the culminating experience for students in the Master of Science in Data Science and Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence program. Soft skills such as effective communication are indispensable, and therefore teamwork is strongly recommended over individual projects. Students will conceptualize, propose, and execute an end-to-end data science project using real-world big data. The project will integrate skills and concepts learned throughout the program, including statistical analysis, machine learning, and communication of results. Under instructor’s guidance, students will identify a problem amenable to data science techniques, acquire appropriate datasets, perform exploratory data analysis, implement data cleaning, and feature engineering pipelines, train machine learning models, and measure model performance. The final project must be approved by a committee consisting of at least two of the MSDS faculty. Students are encouraged to submit the product to a data science conference or a peer-reviewed journal.
