MIT 808 - Capstone Project [20 Credits, Half Year]
The Capstone Project is an integral part of the University of Pretoria’s Big Data Science program, taking place in the second year and the first semester of University of Pretoria students' registration. We will offer only a limited number of capstone projects to eligible Big Data Science students. These projects will be completed in group settings, allowing students to collaborate and address the Capstone Project challenge effectively.
A successful Capstone project must include the following components:
1. A Data-Science related challenge.
2. Accessible and relevant data.
3. A dedicated supervisor/mentor from the organisation.
To gain inspiration, please take a moment to explore our past projects on our 808 Capstone Projects Exhibition page - https://up-mitc-ds.github.io/808exhibition/ .
To submit your Capstone project topic proposal, please use the following link: MIT 808 Capstone Proposal Submission - http://bitly.com/UPMIT808Proposal .
Thank you for your ongoing support, and we look forward to receiving your project ideas as we continue to foster excellence in Big Data Science education at University of Pretoria.
