This course covers topics in Advanced Business Analytics, including managerial data mining, text mining, and decision trees, and more advanced data retrieval and manipulation. Models from statistics AI (e.g., regression, clustering, neural nets, classification, association rule modeling, etc.) will be applied to real data sets. In this managerially focused course, students will learn about when and how to use techniques and how to interpret output. Students will also learn how to extract and manipulate data using various software and programming languages.

Embedded systems sense, actuate, compute, and communicate to accomplish tasks in domains such as medical, automotive, and industrial controls. In this course, students will learn the fundamentals of using microprocessor-based embedded systems to solve problems in these domains. By the end of the course, students will be able to choose appropriate hardware based on application requirements, execute and optimize programs on simple microcontrollers, and interface these controllers to other subsystems.
