Data Analytics & Viz Course
Data Analytics & Viz Course
In this course, students learn to develop desktop analytical tools, informational frameworks and visual interfaces for improving resource-usage and process effectiveness in support of these issues. They become acquainted with data acquisition, cleaning, filtering, structuring (in the form of optimization and simulation modeling) as well as prescription and practical conveyance. They become familiar with complex spreadsheet modeling, VBA coding, integration of Microsoft Power BI tools, the Palisades @RISK suite and application mobility. Students emerge with the technical skills and integrated multi-application competency needed to lead cutting edge analytical projects.
The key deliverable of the DAV course is a group-developed stand-alone application catered to the on-going decision support needs of an organization (public or private) or section of the population. These take on a range of forms, pulling in the capabilities of multiple tools with design for use in mind. On the left are a few examples of pitches, walk-throughs and live-presentations of tools developed (also see Student Project Gallery).

Two reference texts are central to the discussions of interactive analytical and visual application development.
