  • Overview
  • Minor Requirements

This minor, offered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the College of Engineering, seeks to provide a coherent technical foundation in the fundamentals and application of data analytics. The minor addresses the growing demand in industry to be able to apply background in probability/statistics, calculus, engineering problem solving, computing, and analytical principles/tools to identify patterns and trends, find clusters and outliers, and characterize/summarize the mountain of data being generated in our world. This program leverages faculty expertise in electrical and computer engineering and includes courses from across the College of Engineering, College of Science, and the Khoury College of Computer Sciences

Students need to complete the program requirements with at least three courses that are not part of their major required course work.

Complete all courses listed below unless otherwise indicated. Also complete any corequisite labs, recitations, clinicals, or tools courses where specified.

Note: Students need to complete the program requirements with at least three courses that are not part of their major required coursework.
