DTSC71-304: Advanced Big Data Projects

Description

Knowing how to understand, analyse and present data is a key to entry in any industry. This subject requires students to apply the concepts, theories and frameworks from their entire program to a big data research project. Working under the supervision of an academic staff member, students will apply the research process, develop a research question that is relevant to both industry and the academic community, synthesise the relevant literature, use appropriate big data techniques and interpret the results and evaluate their implications. Students may work in teams or as individuals dependant on the size of the project. Projects may be created internally or be sourced from industry.
