Unit content
Topic 1: Introduction to big data
Topic 2: Data visualisation techniques
Topic 3: Data pre-processing
Topic 4: Dimensionality reduction and feature selection
Topic 5: Data wrangling
Topic 6: Data modelling
Learning outcomes
Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.
| On completion of this unit, students should be able to: | |
|---|---|
| 1 | apply appropriate data collection methods to collect real-world data. |
| 2 | visualise and communicate data, results and insights to stakeholders. |
| 3 | develop appropriate algorithms to prepare data for big data analytics. |
| 4 | design and develop machine learning algorithms for processing big data to extract patterns and insights. |
On completion of this unit, students should be able to:
- apply appropriate data collection methods to collect real-world data.
- visualise and communicate data, results and insights to stakeholders.
- develop appropriate algorithms to prepare data for big data analytics.
- design and develop machine learning algorithms for processing big data to extract patterns and insights.
