Harvey Mudd的数据科学重点课程

Harvey Mudd College has long been a leader in educating students in subjects fundamental to data science and is guided by our mission to educate leaders who understand the impact of their work on society.  The Emphasis in Data Science guides students toward data-scientific curriculum opportunities and practical data-rich experiences across the college in a coherent and cohesive manner.

数据科学的重点不是一个专业. 而, 这是一个协调的学习计划,让学生主修科学, 工程, and mathematics the opportunity to apply data-scientific approaches across a variety of applications and understand their work from a range of perspectives, 因此,他们可以最好地评估自己对社会和世界的影响. 

重点要求

学生 must declare their intention to pursue an Emphasis in Data Science in or before their sixth semester.  强调数据科学需要至少六门核心课程之外的课程, 包括一个顶点项目. 一门课程不能同时满足重点上的两个要求, but courses satisfying requirements for a student’s major may also satisfy a single emphasis requirement.

The emphasis requires courses (on or off campus) be chosen from each of the following categories:

  • 计算机流畅性(3学分)
  • 概论与统计(3学分)
  • 数据科学与价值(3学分)
  • 选修课(6学分)
  • 顶点课程(4-6学分)

请参阅 认可课程一览表 在选课时满足每一项要求. 满足重点要求, any course listed on the 认可课程一览表 should be completed with its co-requisite courses. 学生可透过电邮(电邮地址:eds-info-l@g.jgrj007.com),包括课程编号、名称、讲师姓名、课程期限和目录说明. The courses tagged “Data Science” on the portal may give you some guidance towards which courses to consider; however, 这些课程不能保证满足EDS的要求.

预计所有符合EDS要求的课程都将获得字母成绩. 在特殊情况下, students may petition to have a credit/no credit course satisfy emphasis requirements by emailing (eds-info-l@g.jgrj007.com).

请注意, students who have declared the intention to pursue the emphasis are not obligated to complete it, nor are departments offering courses satisfying emphasis requirements obligated to prioritize these students for registration.

顶石的要求

顶点可以是特定于领域的,并由每个主要学科构建. 一般来说,学生应该:

  • carry out and communicate results from an extensive data-driven project that is related to a real-life problem; and
  • study at least one type of advanced data-analytic methods such as (not limited to): generalized linear models, 贝叶斯分析, 高级概率论和随机过程, 非线性模型, 机器学习, 先进的研究设计, 大数据分析, 计量经济学, 或者统计计算.

符合此要求的课程

  • 一年的论文项目;
  • A year-long clinic project; or
  • 在大三或大四有独立的研究经验.

Petitions to satisfy this requirement with a capstone not on this list will be considered in special cases; students should email the Emphasis 项目委员会 to inquire.

如何申请

在学生第六学期预注册期结束前的任何时间, 学生可以开始追求重点的过程:

  • 学生应该完成 重点在数据科学-兴趣形式 表达他们对完成重点的兴趣. 这就完成了应用程序的重点.
  • 收到表格后, 数据科学重点项目委员会 will add the student to the emphasis mailing list and create an online meeting log. 这个文件将对学生开放, 他们的主要导师, 数据科学重点项目委员会, 以及书记官长办公室. 

Advising

攻读数据科学重点(EDS)的学生没有单独的重点顾问. The primary advising structure for the EDS is a once-semesterly group advising meeting hosted by members of the EDS 项目委员会. 学生 pursuing the EDS are required to attend either the Fall or Spring semester advising meeting to receive guidance and approval for course planning. 会议详情将于每学期以电邮形式公布. 学生应电邮至eds-info-l@g.jgrj007.com),如果他们不能参加其中一个会议. 

学生 should discuss and confirm their emphasis choices with 他们的主要导师 to ensure coherence with their intended program of study. 每学期, enrolled EDS students must update their online meeting log to reflect their completed coursework and planned courses. The online log provided to each student is meant to help the student confirm course selections satisfy the emphasis requirements.  有关这些要求的问题应直接向重点项目委员会(eds-info-l@g.jgrj007.com).

完成重点

学生 who successfully complete the requirements for the Emphasis in Data Science by the time they graduate will have the emphasis noted on their official college transcript, 并将在毕业典礼上得到认可.

为了完成重点, graduating seniors must meet with members of the 项目委员会 in the advising meeting hosted in their final year and confirm that the courses listed in their form are the ones they took or in which they will enroll in their last semester. 学生应通知课程委员会(eds-info-l@g.jgrj007.com),表明学员已准备好接受注册主任以电子方式核实他们的课程. 由于注册官可以访问在线表格,因此不需要提交纸质表格.

强调时间表

The Emphasis in Data Science has several checkpoints throughout the calendar year to make sure that students, 项目委员会, 教师顾问, and the registrar’s office can carefully monitor and assure the progress of a student through the program:

其他学术选择

While the Emphasis in Data Science is an excellent way to incorporate data science content into one’s degree path, there are plenty of academic options available for Harvey Mudd College students – especially since there are a wide variety of courses taught on data scientific topics across 克莱蒙特学院. 学生:

  • 在相关主题上完成他们的HSA集中.
  • 将数据科学专业设计为个人研究项目(IPS).
  • Double-major in a Harvey Mudd technical discipline and in data science at another 5C institution.
  • 在5c之一的校外完成数据科学专业.
  • Complete the requirements of a typical major in data science without entering into a formal program
