38617 – MS-DAS Capstone Project Course

A crucial component of the MS-DAS program is the required semester-long Capstone Course, which will provide student the opportunity to apply the skills developed in the classroom such as the acquired programming, machine learning and data science tools to real-world scenarios from industry partners. Students will gain experience working collaboratively to evaluate and develop a solution in coordination with industry partners following their guidelines. Through this course students begin to make the transition from the academic world to the environments in industry and the marketplace, where the challenges of team building, resource development, client relations, limited information, and pressing deadlines are as real and important as the technical and managerial components of any task.
