\u201cPretty much every industry is collecting data, and they turn to data scientists to help them find insights,\u201d said Michael Hilton, Ph.D., assistant professor of computer science<\/a> at Eckerd College. \u201cWhat data science does is take all the information and turns it into insights for governments and businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beginning this semester, Eckerd College students interested in learning how to look at data, ask it meaningful questions and gain useful information can minor in data science<\/a>. In October, faculty approved the minor requirements\u2014a process that was three years in the making.<\/p>\n

Hilton, the minor coordinator, retired from a 20-year career as a data scientist at Procter & Gamble in Cincinnati, Ohio, and decided to return to his first love: teaching. Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty<\/a> Suzan Harrison showed immense interest in turning Hilton\u2019s expertise into a minor that could benefit all Eckerd College students, not just computer science majors.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”7865″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text]Assistant Professor of Computer Science Michael Hilton<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\u201cData science is an inherently interdisciplinary field, requiring a blend of three different skill sets: computer programming, mathematics and domain knowledge. The data science minor proposed for Eckerd is intended to provide students who are not computer science majors or minors, but are instead focused on becoming domain experts, with a sufficient background in computer programming and mathematics to apply data science to problems in their field of expertise. The minor will not be available to computer science majors or minors because of the overlap in degree requirements,\u201d according to the official minor description.<\/p>\n

Hilton\u2019s class, Fundamentals of Data Science, already has a wide cross section of majors and regularly enrolls twice as many students as the average computer science course. The practical usage of data science courses fits into so much of what Eckerd students will do.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”left-right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” el_class=”lg_text” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\u201cEssentially, any person who goes to graduate school to conduct research is going to be using data science; they just don\u2019t know it yet,\u201d Hilton explained.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Data science remains one of the most in-demand skill sets across industries, according to a 2018 report from the National Academy of Sciences<\/a>. Minors at Eckerd will be required to complete five courses including Intermediate Programming, Fundamentals of Data Science, one statistics course and two other computer science\u2013focused classes.<\/p>\n

Hilton said his students are challenged to come up with a cool question, find a data set that can help answer it, create a visualization of their information, and ultimately decide if their question was answered or if they even asked the right question. \u201cSometimes you\u2019ll find that you\u2019ve asked the wrong question. The data will show that there are much more interesting questions at play,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

For instance, using passenger information from the Titanic, Hilton asked his students, \u201cWhat contributed to surviving or dying?\u201d Unsurprisingly, they found it helped to be a woman or child in first class, and being a third-class passenger of any gender or age was a harbinger of doom. \u201cMost of the problems are small in Fundamentals because we are teaching them how to explore the data,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Once they\u2019ve got the basics, they can graduate to trying their hands at sophisticated modeling like the election predictions popularized by data scientist Nate Silver\u2019s FiveThirtyEight<\/em> or the sort of product modeling Hilton used to do at Procter & Gamble. The applications for the information and skill set are limitless.<\/p>\n

Hilton himself is applying his background in data science to the study of gopher tortoise cliques<\/a> along with Assistant Professor of Biology Jeff Goessling, Ph.D.<\/a> A keystone species, gopher tortoises are a threatened population that apparently are very social but also very selective. \u201cA male will visit several females daily to \u2018go a courting,\u2019 but they are very specific and can sometimes completely avoid tortoises with burrows nearest to them,\u201d Hilton explained.<\/p>\n

To figure out who hangs out (and mates) with whom and why, the professors have placed cameras on 12 burrows in St. Petersburg\u2019s Boyd Hill Nature Preserve to study daily tortoise movements for one year. \u201cWe\u2019ll essentially take a computer to make sense of the natural world, which is a very Eckerd thing to do,\u201d Hilton joked.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
