Overview of Emerging IT1 & IT2 First semester Team Assignments Three Big Data Machine Learning Algorithms Team Presentations One presentation per team on an Emerging IT topic chosen by team Second semester Fewer assignments, more speakers, less stress Dissertation data – discuss, inventory, etc. Guest speakers External – IBM, etc. Former doctoral students

This Semester Three Big Data Algorithms Lectures, assignments, and discussions Bayes decision theory versus kNN Linear Regression K-Means Clustering Objective – provide students with basic understanding of the algorithms

Emerging IT1-IT2 Team Presentations At the end of the second semester, teams will combine the team presentations from both semesters into a Research Day Conference paper Title example: Current Emerging Information Topics Present at Research Day Conference 6-8 pages in Research Day Conference format Whole class (cohort) as authors
