Course Overview

The Data Science for Smart Cities training is a 16-week course and requires the effort of six to nine hours every week. Purdue University has designed a programme that falls under the engineering category. Prof Satish Ukkusuri and Eunhan Ka will teach the intermediate level course. Language of the training and video transcripts are in English.

The focus of the Data Science for Smart Cities online programme is how to utilise scientific tools and techniques to analyse, infer, and predict large-scale data. Data present in city networks and collected from various sources such as social media, GPS vehicular data, mobile phones, social network, etc. will be used. The  Data Science for Smart Cities syllabus will introduce basic data science methods for the analysis of these datasets. The  Data Science for Smart Cities training will deal with these methods as well as applying those using Python for smart city issues. 

Candidates can enrol for the Data Science for Smart Cities certification without paying any fee. However, the ones interested in acquiring a verified certificate can do so by purchasing it. Additionally, the  Data Science for Smart Cities certificate will be signed by the instructor and have the university logo printed, making it a valuable addition to resumes or CVs.
