The Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering offers a minor in Data Science and Engineering (DSCE) for undergraduates (minimum of 17 credits required). The minor contributes to students’ ability to organize, analyze and act upon data, particularly for data associated with engineered systems. The course of study will prepare students to combine techniques from systems engineering and data science to address global challenges. The core of this minor will be taught by industrial and systems engineers who use mathematical, computational, and data models to support decision-making on real problems.
Required courses for the DSCE Minor are (11 credits required):
- ISYE-2530 Information and Data Systems. Credit hours: 4
- ISYE-4140 Statistical Analysis. Credit hours: 4
- ISYE-4330 Design of Experiments. Credit hours: 3
