This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) in the amount of $200,000 will support the Florida A & M University (FAMU)-Florida State University (FSU) College of Engineering in strengthening data science research capacity and education programs through an academia-industry partnership with American Airlines. The key products and services to be delivered under this 2-year grant include:
- Designing and launching an annual case competition focused on aviation data analytics for undergraduate and graduate students.
- Creating an aviation data science pathway for underrepresented engineering students through industry-led mentoring and professional development training.
- Advancing the practice of airline operations through joint efforts by graduate students, faculty, and industry professionals using advanced data analytics, with potential methodological contributions in machine learning and mathematical programming.
The grant aims to fill a gap between academia and industry in data science, while also strengthening FAMU's existing Industrial Engineering curriculum, especially in the areas of big data analytics and machine learning.
