SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives: The aim of this course is to provide students with an understanding of the fundamental concepts of data science and to enable them to apply basic techniques of data cleaning, exploratory analysis, visualization, and simple modeling using the Python programming language. The course is designed to equip software engineering and industrial engineering students with the ability to work with data, develop analytical thinking skills, and gain familiarity with widely used data science tools.
Course Content: This course introduces the fundamental concepts and applications of data science. Students will gain knowledge of data types and structures, data sources, data cleaning and preprocessing, exploratory data analysis, data visualization, basic probability and statistics, regression and classification methods, model evaluation metrics, and clustering techniques. Throughout the course, students will work with small-scale applications using Python and popular data science libraries such as Pandas, Matplotlib, Seaborn, and Scikit-learn. By the end of the semester, students will complete a group project analyzing a real dataset.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are those describing the knowledge, skills and competencies that students are expected to achieve upon successful completion of the course. In this context, Course Learning Outcomes defined for this course unit are as follows:
Knowledge (Described as Theoritical and/or Factual Knowledge.)
  1) Explain the fundamental concepts, processes, and application areas of data science.
Skills (Describe as Cognitive and/or Practical Skills.)
  1) Perform data cleaning, analysis, and visualization on small-scale datasets using Python.
Competences (Described as "Ability of the learner to apply knowledge and skills autonomously with responsibility", "Learning to learn"," Communication and social" and "Field specific" competences.)
  1) Apply basic statistical methods as well as simple regression, classification, and clustering techniques.
  2) Interpret findings from real datasets and present them in written reports and oral presentations.
