This course is part of the Data Analytics certificate program. Students in the program are adult learners with a post-secondary degree/diploma in computer science, engineering, business, etc. The students learn how to perform exploration of data in order to discover meaningful information to solve problems, and will allow for the application of analytics life cycle in the context of planning to solve a business problem. Emphasis is placed on framing the problem, proposing an analytics solution, communicating with stakeholders, and establishing an analytics-focused project plan. Common data visualization tools and techniques are explored and used as students learn best practices for the presentation and communication of analytical solutions and insights.

This course is part of the Data Analytics certificate program. Students in the program are adult learners with a post-secondary degree/diploma in computer science, engineering, business, etc. This course presents the principles of artificial intelligence (AI) through an exploration of its history, capabilities, technologies, framework, and its future. AI applications in various industries will be reviewed through some case examples. Current trends in AI will be discussed and students will be encouraged to consider the potentials of AI to solve complex problems. This course will help students to understand the implications of AI for business strategy, as well as the economic and societal issues it raises

This course is part of the Data Analytics certificate program. Students in the program are adult learners with a post-secondary degree/diploma in computer science, engineering, business, etc. This course provides a foundation of exploring data through computing and statistical analysis. Focus is placed on the structure and applications of probability, statistics, computer simulation, and data analysis for students exploring the field of data science. This course builds upon introductory statistics courses and is designed for students with experience/study in programming, calculus, and algebra. Programming in R will be used throughout the course.

This course is part of the Data Analytics certificate program. Students in the program are adult learners with a post-secondary degree/diploma in computer science, engineering, business, etc. This course offers an introduction to data science and machine learning paving the way for students to learn data analytics principles. In particular, this course begins with a brief history of data analytics and data science, followed by regression analysis, regression and classification trees, and ends with introductions to K-means clustering, principal component analysis (PCA). Each lecture has associated with it a practical lab session in which students will put "theory into practice" offering students a hands-on approach to learning the material.
