Data Science, a paradigmatic application of the most promising techniques of Artificial Intelligence, stands out as the transformational technology in the digital age. The production and collection of data is increasing more and more, so the correct analysis of this information is extremely relevant today and in the future. However, 46% of organisations report having employees with inadequate data analysis skills.

The Specialisation Course in “Data Science Engineering” introduces the field as an engineering task, as it is a creative application of scientific principles to develop data models. This course follows a “learning by doing” approach, typical of an engineering degree.

This course is a mandatory requirement for the Data Science for Engineers (DaSh) Specialisation Programme.

By the end of the program, students are expected to be able to apply the KDD process to multivariate data, particularly classification tasks. Specifically, they should be able to:

– Perform exploratory data analysis (data profiling);
– Identify and apply the data transformations necessary to enable model training;
– Train predictive models;
– Evaluate model performance.

Target audience:

The prerequisites for taking the course are as follows:
– Undergraduate programme or higher;
– Prior knowledge of probability, statistics, and basic programming (e.g., Python)
