Treffer: Developing a Hands-on Data Science Curriculum for Non-Computing Majors.

This paper describes the design and development of an appropriate data science curriculum accessible to non-computing majors with little or no programming background. This project took a two-prong approach to address such a curriculum: (1) a Web-based Data Science Learning Platform was developed to offer such students hands-on practice with processing and analyzing data without needing to write code, and (2) a Data Science Curricular Module for teaching data science concepts in both an existing Computer Science Principles course and a follow-on Data Science Principles course. The paper also discusses initial experiences with deploying the curricular module at Rochester Institute Technology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
