Big data is poised to change the way enterprises function and a society operates, and is changing the way engineering and science is conducted. The Master of Science (MSc) Program in Big Data Technology aims to educate students about big data and issues related to big data. Students are expected to be familiar with the workflow of big data systems and social and societal implications of big data systems. Jointly offered by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the Department of Mathematics, the program integrates different disciplines to allow students to know all the important aspects of big data and how it is used in the real world.
On successful completion of the program, graduates will be able to:
- Identify, explain, and use Big Data infrastructure;
- Solve Big Data integration and storage problems;
- Perform various data analytic tasks using Big Data management and computing techniques;
- Derive knowledge and strategies from Big Data analytics and apply them to privacy protection and policy making; and
- Investigate existing problems on Big Data and conduct original Big Data research.
