When: Tuesday (11/03) from 11am-12pm
Where: Building 180 (Baker Science), Room 102

The Cal Poly Data Science Club is welcoming new or experienced students to join us at our second club meeting! We will begin forming teams to compete in various Kaggle data science competitions. Our goal is to bring together students of different backgrounds to learn and experience data science.

What is data science?
Data Science is an emerging field that lies at the intersection of statistics, computer science, and business. Data scientists analyze very large data sets by using languages like R, Python, and Hadoop to obtain a deeper understanding of the data.

Questions? More Information? Please contact Jeff Ernst at jrernst@calpoly.edu.

6. Learn How to Join the Engineering Ambassadors!

On November 9th and 12th, there will be information sessions on how to become an Engineering Ambassador. The Engineering Ambassadors is a club that works closely with the Engineering Dean’s office to provide lab tours of the College of Engineering. Attendees of these tours range from prospective students to alumni and VIP guests who contribute greatly to our engineering program. If you would like to join a great team which represents your college, please attend an information session on 11/9 or 11/12 in room 197-104 at 8:00 pm. The information sessions will provide you with more information on the club, the application process, and an opportunity to sign up for an interview, as well as pizza.  Applications will be made available to those who are unable to attend either meeting, but attendance will give you a better idea of what your role as an engineering ambassador will be, which will benefit you during your one-on-one discussion with an Engineering Ambassadors executive board member.

For more information please email cp.eng.amb@gmail.com.
