COVID-19 data analysis applied to computer science courses: faculty poster

At Eastern Connecticut State University, we include or teach data analysis in different levels of computer science courses, including our Computer Science (CS) gateway course CSC180: Fundamentals of Computing, two programming courses; CSC202: Introduction to Programming and Machine Intelligence and CSC203: Advanced Programming for Data Science, as well as CSC305: Data Mining and Applications. In all these courses, students will learn data science technologies and develop data analysis skills appropriate to the course level. For example, CSC180 provides students with general concepts of data science and the role of computer science in data analysis. CSC202 and CSC203 put more emphasis on programming techniques such as classes, objects, methods, file I/O and other packages involved. Students will develop skills to apply them to data processing and analysis. CSC305 explores the entire data mining (or analysis) process and focuses on stages ranging from data collection and preparation to data processing and modeling until pattern and knowledge discovery.
