DS 7960 - MSDS Capstone Project

Credit Hour(s): 1 to 6
In DS 7960 students will apply the concepts from their formal graduate coursework to current, practical problems relevant to the field. Unlike a Master’s thesis, the capstone project does not necessarily require an original, unique contribution to the state of the art. However, the project should require demonstration of graduate level mastery over a substantial body of concepts in the field. Projects may include (but are not limited to) implementation and/or robust testing of software or hardware artifacts relevant to the field, replication of previous research results or conduct of novel research, collection, curation and analysis of real-world or simulation data of value to the research community, or authoring a comprehensive review of the state of the art in a specific research area.
