TDM 51100 - Corporate Partners


Credit Hours: 3.00.  Students in The Data Mine Corporate Partners Learning Community will work in groups with Corporate Partner mentors on a variety of projects.  They will analyze real data related to questions that the Corporate Partner proposes.  Most projects will last for a full academic year (late August through late April), with multiple reports and presentations given more frequently.  The mentor is expected to meet with the students weekly by Microsoft Teams, or (more rarely) in person. Students are expected to actively participate in these meetings and in all individual and group work.  The goal of the course is to help students build impactful industry related skills in data science, visualization, and data engineering. The Data Mine staff also has data scientists who can assist students with technical questions focused on the skills being built and the research conducted. Students can work on real-world industry facing issues that have a high value add for the corporate partner.
