Data Analytics\u00a0Project<\/h3>\n

The real data analytics project is for students who are interested in working with a small team on a research project under the supervision of a CDM faculty. A list of available projects is published on the DAMPA center website. A student who is interested in proposing their own data analytics project is encouraged to contact a CDM faculty member teaching analytics courses as soon as possible. Students must enroll in\u00a0CSC 695<\/a>\u00a0Master\u2019s Research for a total of 4 credit hours taken in two consecutive quarters (2 credit hours for 2 quarters) to satisfy the capstone requirement. The faculty who supervises the project will initiate enrollment in the\u00a0CSC 695<\/a>\u00a0Master\u2019s Research course.<\/p>\n

    Master’s Thesis<\/h3>\n

    A student who has made an original contribution to the area (typically, through work done by\u00a0CSC 695<\/a>\u00a0Master\u2019s Research) may choose to complete a Master\u2019s Thesis. The student and the student\u2019s research advisor should form a Master\u2019s Thesis Committee of 3 faculties. The student will need to submit to the committee a thesis detailing the results of the research project. After a public defense, the committee will decide whether to accept the thesis. In that case, the student will be allowed to register for the 0 credit course\u00a0CSC 698<\/a>\u00a0Master\u2019s Thesis and the transcript will show the thesis title as the course topic.<\/p>\n
