There is an increasing need for all engineers to make use of data science tools like statistics, machine learning, artificial neural networks and artificial intelligence. Yet the majority of engineering occupations require subject matter expertise beyond data science. For mechanical and aerospace engineering, the need for data science, including machine learning, is felt in all subdisciplines, including controls, energy systems, aeronautics, astronautics and mechanics.
The mechanical and aerospace engineering concentration in the MS program in data science, analytics and engineering provides an advanced education that combines high-demand data science and mechanical and aerospace engineering. A focus on probability and statistics, machine learning and data engineering is complemented by mechanical and aerospace engineering-specific courses to ensure breadth and depth in both data science and mechanical and aerospace engineering.
