Important topics like data preprocessing, data visualization, data cleaning and model development, which form the core of Data Science, were covered deeply. The course was introduced by Dr Ramani Bai V (Prof and Head, CSE Dept). The classes of the course were taken by Mr Nakulraj K R (AP, CSE Dept) and Mr Sreekanth R Shekar (AP, EEE Dept). About 60 students attended the course.

The participants of the course learned how a data scientist worked and understood the mathematical and logical principle of different classification and regression models. The course laid a foundation for exploring an important technology and this foundation would help the students to harvest the massive amount of job and research opportunities arising this new technology domain.
