TE7265 - Introduction To Data Science

This document outlines a proposed course on Introduction to Data Science. The 3-credit course would introduce major concepts in data science including statistical modeling, machine learning algorithms, exploratory data analysis, and ethical issues. It is aimed at students with a basic knowledge of algorithms and programming. The 30-hour course would cover topics like probability distributions, linear regression, k-nearest neighbors, k-means clustering, and data visualization. Assessment methods would include unit tests, seminars, assignments, and an end-semester written exam.
