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.

More information and applications

The Specialisation Course “Data Science Engineering” introduces the area 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 part of the Data Science for Engineers (DaSh) Specialisation Programme as a mandatory course.

At the end of the programme, trainees 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 attending the course are the following:

– Bachelor’s degree or higher academic degree;

– Previous knowledge of Probability, statistics, basic programming (e.g. Python).*
