Overview

Data analytics is an interdisciplinary field that aims to draw meaningful insight underlying data using various techniques based on theories from many branches including mathematics, probability, statistics, optimization, and computer science. The techniques can be applied to various domains including Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Financial Engineering, Agriculture, Transportation, Network Engineering and Atmospheric Sciences. Our graduate program in data analytics aims to introduce essential techniques and tools used for students who are upon successfully completing this program, to be able to

Understand natural characteristics of data collected with the presence of randomness; clean up and manage the data appropriately using prior knowledge of the application domain of interest.
Formulate quantitative models to address research or practical questions in engineering applications.
Apply appropriate quantitative and statistical methods to make inference or prediction driven by data analysis.
Provide critical evaluation of the statistical methods available in various domains.
Communicate key knowledge and interpret information learned from the data to broad audiences.
