Overview
Are you looking to strengthen your data science portfolio with the help of a mentor?
This course offers the opportunity to select a project that develops and demonstrates specific data science skills supported by an industry-sourced mentor. Your project can be developed individually or collaboratively in a team and be self-defined, case-based or industry-sourced.
You'll meet with your mentor weekly over an eight-week project cycle. During this time, your mentor can help you develop new skills, recommend best practices, and build professional relationships.
Note: You must have foundational data science skills in the area in which your project is focused.
Upon successfully completing this course, you'll know how to:
- apply technical skills in data science to the design and development of a data science project
- present a data science project in an engaging, organized and professional way
- develop a personalized learning plan to continue building out a data science portfolio.
Energy makes things tick. Data makes things tick better, faster to go on the oil side of things. We think about an internal combustion engine, right? The original Model Ts were like 15% efficiency at turning gasoline into usable energy. Data is what lets us go from that 15% to 60, 70, 80. It lets us accelerate the processes that we would have done otherwise.

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
