INTERNSHIP/CAPSTONE RESEARCH PROJECT.

Catalog description

The capstone project aims to give students a "hands-on" experience in analyzing interesting datasets with cutting-edge techniques of their interest. While students are encouraged to get feedback and mentoring from faculty, they should work as independently as possible with their teams. Progress will be monitored by completing the following quarterly milestones: (1) Acquisition of dataset, data pre-processing, and clear statement/justification of the proposed analysis. (2) Preliminary results and discussion of the plausibility of the results, (3) Refinement of codes, analysis, and results. (4) Submission of a written 5+ page report including introduction, background, methods, results, discussion, and conclusion. (5) Final oral presentation chaired by an ASDS faculty who read the written report. The project team members are expected to answer project-related questions from faculty and peers satisfactorily. Prerequisite: ASDS 5301 , ASDS 5302 , ASDS 5303 , ASDS 6301, ASDS 6302 , ASDS 6303 .
