What does it really take to become a data scientist? In Virginia Tech’s Master of Science in Data Science (MSDS) program, students learn that successful data science is about much more than building predictive models.
In this hands-on classroom experience, students design and build miniature wind turbines using LEGO components, collect real-world performance data, and analyze the differences between healthy and defective turbine blades. Through the project, they gain practical experience across the entire data science lifecycle, from problem discovery and data collection to data preparation, modeling, deployment, and monitoring.
