Course Description

This course is a multidisciplinary introduction to topics at the intersection of materials and data science. Corresponding to this, it brings in speakers and activities from 6 different departments (computer science, information science, statistics, physics, materials science, and mechanical engineering) to provide their own perspectives on this subject.

Scope

Course Grading

Grading

Attendance of each unit will be graded through a GradeScope assignment, filled out in class. Class participation on CampusWire will be graded, and it is expected that you ask two questions throughout the semester and answer two questions throughout the semester. Several of the units will involve hands-on sessions. For these, you will turn in a PDF report on each of your hands on activities. The report should include a narrative about what you are doing and why. Learning how to do this is an important part of doing science. Please consult the course syllabus for details.
