The Data Science Skills used in the data-driven information system project done in the last semester of my Masters in Data Science, Monash University, Melbourne. The project was based on mitigating the carbon emissions from vehicles and household appliances using our different functionalities and educating young adults to make environmentally friendly decisions.

5. Australian Car Details
• Reducing columns
• Finding unique cars and
keeping only Australian cars
• Creating new dataframe for
engine capacity and carbon
emissions
• Regular checks for mean
and count of transmission
types, engine capacity and
fuel types
• Checking comparisons using
graphs
• Export clean dataset
