This summer experiential research program, hosted at
Purdue University, is designed to equip 5 cohorts with a total of 47
participants with data science skills that complement their agricultural
discipline knowledge. We will enable students to contribute to the rapidly
developing research and practice of digital agriculture in a student-centered,
active-learning environment with a combined course/research experience.
The Program Objectives and Student Learning Goals are:
● understand application program interfaces (APIs) well
enough to collect data and wrangle data into informed decisions
● perform proper statistical analysis and be able to
communicate process and results
● understand the industry opportunities in agri-business
data science
The project will address a variety of the AFRI farm bill
priority areas with focus on Cyberinformatics and
Tools for Food and Agricultural Data Analysis and Data-Driven Applications
(FACT). With the intellectual focus on digital agriculture and data analytics,
we will introduce algorithmic thinking in basic elements, and will empower
students to integrate different concepts into their own research area and
to communicate that effectively.
