Research Focus (1)
Industry Engagement in Data Science Project Assessment - Developed by Michael Ratajczyk funded by Wiley Educational Services
We seek to become a nationally recognized school for business analytics. We will investigate and use methods that effectively increase collaboration among industry leaders. This would bring students the latest and best practices in the data science world. Included in this is the opportunity for students to obtain internships, cooperative learning arrangements and real-world data sets and projects in the online classroom. The grant funds would be used to engage a learning designer in identifying best-practice logistics and communication to foster and incorporate industry engagement in online programs. The focus will be on establishing relationships with industry partners to enhance the online learning experience.
