    data Review Balancing Plurality and Educational Essence: Higher Education Between Data-Competent Professionals and Data Self-Empowered Citizens Nils Hachmeister * , Katharina Weiß, Juliane Theiß and Reinhold Decker BiCDaS, Bielefeld University, 33501 Bielefeld, Germany; [email protected] (K.W.); [email protected] (J.T.); [email protected] (R.D.) * Correspondence: [email protected] or [email protected]; Tel.: +49-521-106-67599 Abstract: Data are increasingly important in central facets of modern life: academics, professions, and society at large. Educating aspiring minds to meet highest standards in these facets is the mandate of institutions of higher education. This, naturally, includes the preparation for excelling in today’s data-driven world. In recent years, an intensive academic discussion has resulted in the distinction between two different modes of data related education: data science and data literacy education. As a large number of study programs and offers is emerging around the world, data literacy in higher education is a particular focus of this paper. These programs, despite sharing the same name, differ substantially in their educational content, i.e., a high plurality can be observed. This paper explores this plurality, comments on the role it might play and suggests ways it can be dealt with by maintaining a high degree of adaptiveness and plurality while simultaneously establishing a consistent educational “essence”. It identifies a skill set, data self-empowerment, as a potential part of this essence. Data science and literacy education are still experiencing changeability in their Citation: Hachmeister, N.; Weiß, K.; emergence as fields of study, while additionally being stirred up by rapid developments, bringing Theiß, J.; Decker, R.

  • Data Science/Data Analytics—Some Career Tips and Advice
    Data Science/Data Analytics—Some Career Tips and Advice Overview The field of Data Science/Data Analytics is rapidly growing in terms of career opportunities, with one recent study by McKinsey predicting 140-190,000 open positions for ‘Big Data’ professionals by 2018 in the U.S. alone. And this need for data analysts cuts across a wide range of industries, including technology, finance, consulting, government, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and health care. As it becomes possible for organizations to collect relevant information in a more efficient and economical manner, it will also become more and more critical to find professionals who are able to analyze and to interpret this ever-increasing volume of data. Some Definitions Professionals in Data Science and Data Analytics work with huge datasets (Big Data) that are generally too large for analysis by using conventional statistical methods and analytical tools. Examples of these large datasets include online reviews of products and services, health records, etc. This data can be structured (e.g. data from GPS instruments), or unstructured (e.g. photos, social media). In general, structured data consists of numbers and words that can be easily categorized, while unstructured data relies more on use of keywords for searching and analysis. The explosive growth of the Internet over the past decade or so has driven the strong increase in unstructured data, and as a consequence an increasing number of data scientist and data analyst professionals work with unstructured data. Data Science vs. Data Analytics Data Science is a relatively new and evolving professional field; as a result, organizations often categorize similar positions in different ways.

  • Systematic Study of Big Data Science and Analytics Programs
    Paper ID #18046 Systematic Study of Big Data Science and Analytics Programs Dr. Huanmei Wu, Indiana University-Purdue University, Indianapolis Chair of the Department of BioHealth Informatics. Research on data management and data analytics, applying to informaticcs, especially biomedical informatics and other interdisciplinary fields. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Systematic Study of Data Science and Analytics Programs Abstract— Rapid advances in information technologies have led to the generation of massive data sets, especially in life science and biomedical informatics. These data sets are valuable assets and in great needs to be analyzed. However, there is a shortage of workforce for big data analysis. Education innovations are required to empower students with the skills and technologies for large dataset analysis. Over the last few years, there is a high demand for new programs in data science and analytics (DSA). We has performed a systematic study of the existing DSA programs in the US by checking the detailed information about the degree programs, the program competencies, the curriculum designs, the expected learning outcomes, program sizes, professional careers, and other related information. There are more than 70 DSA programs offered in the US. This study provides guidance on DSA related program development and curriculum design. It also provides the potential trainees in DSA with the current market needs and the required knowledge for their future career. 1. Introduction: There is rapid growth massive data generation and data collections from many fields, such as web-based social informatics, search engines, satellite data, health sciences, biology, and biomedical informatics. The data is not huge in size but also complicated with various data types and uncertainties.

  • 23 Great Schools with Master's Programs in Data Science
    23 Great Schools with Master’s Programs in Data Science Looking to freshen your résumé and improve your earning potential? You are in exactly the right place at exactly the right time. A 2011 McKinsey report estimates there will be 140,000 to 190,000 unfilled positions of U.S. data analytics experts by 2018. In response, universities are scrambling to improve their existing degree programs and create entirely new offerings. I’ve listed 23 of these programs in alphabetical order. Many of these choices can also be found in the helpful list compiled by Information Week and Data Informed’s Map of University Programs. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, focus on a few points: Does it provide the skills you need? Some programs target fields such as marketing (e.g., Bentley, DePaul); others specifically state they teach R and Python. For more on helpful skill sets, check out my blog post on data scientist foundations. Can you work it into your schedule? Although plenty of universities now offer a blend of evening, weekend and online classes, many of the programs mentioned here still require you to be present in class to complete your master’s degree. Are there internships or real-world practicums? Unless you’re on your way to a doctorate, this is going to be one of the most important investments in your career. Look for programs that connect you to industries and opportunities. Will it get you the job? The proof is in the numbers. If you can’t find it on the program’s website, ask about the percentage of graduates who have received employment offers or promotions.
