Welcome to the course of Applications of Data Science and Engineering 2021/22 !!

Our meetings will start on Friday,  Oct. 8, at 16h30 (via zoom; see section "Zoom links"). In this first meeting, we will present an overview of the goals of the course, evaluation, and other issues. 

In this course, each student or group of two students will work on a small problem of data science, ideally proposed by a non-academic partner or academic partner from another scientific area (e.g. biology, medicine, social sciences, or another engineering area). 

The amount of work is approximately one day/week for a semester, but, of course, time can be allocated differently.

We will collect and post several options. However, we strongly invite you to independently find a host and supervisor that better fits your interests. Of course, we will always be available to help you with this quest.

Students can start working on the challenge proposed whenever they reach an agreement with the proponents. Grading is based on a small report and an oral presentation.

In the meantime, please let us know if we can be of further help. Many thanks again for your preference!

Best regards and see you soon,
