Capstone Project
The Data Science Capstone project provides an opportunity for students to carry out a defined piece of
independent research or design. These skills include the capacity to define a research or design question, show
how it relates to existing knowledge and carry out the research or design in a systematic manner. Students will
be expected to choose a research/development project that demonstrates their prior learning in the data
science domain (MDS). The results will be presented in a final project presentation and report. It is not expected
that the project outcomes from this unit will represent a significant contribution to new knowledge. The unit
aims to provide students with the opportunity to carry out a defined piece of independent investigative research
or design work in a setting and manner that fosters the development of data science skills in research or design.
