Certification Course on Hands on Training for Data Science and AI in Civil Engineering

Data science and artificial intelligence are emerging fields with enormous market potential and demand. With its vast array of tools and techniques, Data Science will transform the construction industry. Civil engineers can analyse large data sets collected by advanced technological computing systems using Data Science and Artificial Intelligence techniques.

This course introduces civil engineering students to Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. Participating in Data Science courses provides skills such as programming and statistics, but the applied context to civil engineering is missing, which is the most important part for beginners. It is designed for students who have little or no programming experience. Using large, open data sets from the civil engineering sector, participants will learn and practise Data Science and Artificial Intelligence techniques.
