Abstract:
|
The history of statistics is replete with the exchange of ideas, models and practice between the academy and industry. Much the same can be said of computer science, and together statistics and computer science are the two major contributing disciplines to recent developments in data science and data analytics. This panel will review the state of the exchange, focusing on innovative ways to strengthen connections between the classroom and the current practices in the commercial and non-profit worlds, and to bring data analytics into the classroom, which in turn is essential to enhanced employment and internship opportunities for students. With the recent updates to the GAISE College Report, the ASA Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Programs in Statistical Science and the Park City Math Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Programs in Data Science, and the burgeoning applications in analytics, this session should appeal to statistics educators and to participants in business-university partnerships.
