Data Science Software Engineering Data Engineering Docker Inference Python

Category:

Advance, Supplemental, Self-Directed, Mini-Course

Intended audience:

Graduate Students, Postdocs, Early Career Data Scientists

Overview:

The Software Engineering for Data Scientists course is meant to help data scientists write production ready code as well as gain familiarity with the tools used to make models available to their users. The core idea we will be exploring is making code robust and re-usable across a team. This course can also serve as an introduction toward ideas used in ML Ops and Data Engineering.

Category:

Advance, Supplemental, Self-Directed, Mini-Course

Intended audience:

People who have completed the data science bootcamp before, but do not have deep learning experience

Overview:

This is a semi-structured deep learning boot camp. Each week, you'll complete assigned readings from 2 deep learning books. If possible, you should meet with others to have a weekly discussion group on the material.

In order to receive a deep learning certificate, you must submit a (team-based) final project by **August 30, 2024**.

Category:

Advance, Supplemental, Self-Directed, Mini-Course

Intended audience:

People who have completed the data science bootcamp before, but do not have deep learning experience

Overview:

This is a self-paced deep learning boot camp, using the FastAI book as the foundation (http://course.fast.ai). It is suggested you take 12-15 weeks to go through the material. If possible, you should meet with others to have a weekly discussion group on the material.

In order to receive a deep learning certificate, you must submit a (team-based) final project by **May 03, 2024**.

People Oriented Project Management

Spring 2024

Feb 4, 2024

Mar 10, 2024

Leadership Project Management Interpersonal Communication Project Process Teamwork Soft Skills People Skills Team Lead Project Lead Emotional Intelligence

Category:

Advance, Supplemental, Mini-Course

Intended audience:

Any organizational member who has ambitions to lead workplace projects or whom already leads workplace projects in any sector of work. You do not need to have the title Project Manager to partake in this course, as very often organization members are tasked with projects without a Project Manager title.

Overview:

The goal with this course is to help participants gain knowledge and techniques that make leading and participating in projects more successful throughout a whole project. When we look at just the project and not the people, even the most carefully planned project can fall apart in a blink. We will examine the basic foundational concepts of project management with an emphasis on leadership, communication, best practices and people skills that will boost trust, morale, and commitment by the humans that make projects happen....successfully.

Quantum Computing Quantum Algorithms Quantum Error Correction Qiskit

Category:

Launch, Introductory Reading Course, Alumni-Led

Intended audience:

For those seeking an introduction to the basics of contemporary Quantum Computing.

Overview:

In this reading course, we will cover introductory sections from industry-standard texts. The material will cover basic quantum algorithms (Grover, Quantum Counting, Quantum Phase Estimation, Shor, etc), selected advanced algorithms (for example, QAOA and other Binary Optimization techniques etc), and the fundamentals of Quantum Error Correction. I will also try to incorporate as much hands-on coding problems, with Qiskit, as possible.

There will be weekly meetings (tentatively 1-2, one-hour meetings a week). I will also hold weekly office hours on zoom.
