Recent advances in science and computing technology have resulted in an explosion of available data, in fields as diverse as biology, climate, engineering, finance and medicine. This has led to the development of new data analytic methodologies, aimed at meeting the challenges associated with processing and understanding “Big Data”. In this problem-solving oriented module, you will keep abreast of state-of-the-art data science tools and techniques. Through practical hands-on learning and working with open sourced and in-situ data and sophisticated scientific computing software, you will develop skills and techniques needed to convert complex data sets into useful information. To foster understanding, effective communication is key. Therefore, students will engage with contemporary data science literature, and present their findings in reports, posters, and through digital media to engage with the lay public and with specialists in their chosen science and technology area.
