The capstone project provides students with an opportunity to apply and integrate concepts learned in the Business Analytics program to solve a business problem using data analytics tools and solutions. The overall aim of the capstone project is to help students relate acquired business analytic knowledge to real business problems. This looks like an internship, a learning experience well-recognized for its impact on the student’s application of classroom knowledge to the world of work, and student’s knowledge of careers and critical career success factors. This course is an excellent opportunity for students to practice problem-solving skills. The course uses Python as the analytical tool to formulate and solve problems based on a variety of mathematical modelling techniques. Companies can define projects in data visualization, data analytics, database systems, data analysis, cloud-based services, software development, and general business analytics projects.
