Berkeley Program on Data Science & Analytics 2018 BrochureNaman (Neil) Patel
Data science and data analytics are at the core of every modern globalized industry. Working in today's technology-centric workforce not only requires superior leadership skills, but the ability to translate data problems into the bigger picture for the organization.
The Berkeley Program in Data Science and Analytics (BPSDA) is a 6-month learning journey into the world of applied data science and analytics. The program will prepare you with the tools to build and lead data science teams through data-driven decision-making. You will learn how to promote a data-driven culture, how to translate business problems into data problems, and how to lead a team with a diverse skill set towards solving these problems.
Snapshot of Program Topics:
Economic analysis for decision-making
Data and decisions
Inference and Measurement (A/B Testing, Regression Models, Multiple Regression Models, Model Selection, Micro-Econometric Models)
Forecasting and Trends: Time Series Analyses
Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence
The program leverages a global perspective on data science and analytics with five total modules, three in-person and two online, spanning from the Asia-Pacific business hub of Singapore to the Silicon Valley innovation ecosystem at the UC Berkeley campus. Led by esteemed Berkeley Faculty with both cutting-edge research and industry experience, the program provides a unique combination of theory and practice to help you accelerate your career and the data-driven performance of your organization.
You will leave the immersive 6-month hybrid learning journey with developed leadership skills, a deeper understanding of theory, and the ability to apply data science decision-making to your organization and role. Following completion of the program, you will receive a Certificate of Data Excellence.

2YC3 Conference - NSF Programs - March 2004Liz Dorland
This presentation is of historical interest only. Updated information and data can be found at http://www.nsf.gov.
New program officers base their early presentations on decks handed down and shared by other PDs. It was one of my first independent NSF presentations. I was starting to improve the fonts and slide format, and to add my own slides, but it is still a horrible mish-mash!
Annual Community College Day at NSF HQ 4-12-04Liz Dorland
Community College Day is held at the National Science Foundation Headquarters in Arlington, VA every spring. The lead organizer is usually an NSF Program Director/Rotator who has taught in community college. That was me - and I spoke about NSF programs. Invitees are science faculty from the surrounding area. The program includes a nationally known speaker who also attended a community college, selected by the PD. In 2004, I invited the then-president of the National Academy of Engineering.
Conducting a Smooth Sakai Transition: Planning, Acting & Maintaining the Mome...Amber D. Marcu, Ph.D.
In this co-joint presentation session, Marist College and Virginia Tech highlight their experiences of successes and lessons learned during their transition to Sakai, including:
* Why the change was needed,
* How change is good,
* Which Actions support the transition,
* How Training sustains the transition,
* How to Maintain transition momentum, and
* Lessons learned.
Virginia Tech and Marist College have both successfully transitioned to Sakai. Reba-Anna Lee (Marist College) will talk about their three-step process to success: Planning, Acting, and Maintaining progress. As Marist College found, a successful transition includes planning communication, meeting the needs for data transfer, providing training and support, and when completed, maintaining user interest in Sakai. Amber D. Evans (Virginia Tech), will talk in detail about how part of VT's successful transition was through effectively addressing Faculty, Staff, and Student concerns using aspects of the Concerns-Based Approach Model to assess the audience and resources; at VT this information was used to map optimal lines of communication and to define support structures to successfully implement Sakai. (This is a reprisal and follow-up to Virginia Tech's 2009 Boston Conference session: "Concerning Their Concerns: Using CBAM to Map Support for a Transition.") Overall, this session highlights what both colleges anticipated, what they did not, and ultimately what both Marist and VT successfully did regarding planning (communication), action (training and support), and maintenance (momentum and interest). Recommendations, suggestions, and some "best practices" regarding the above will be provided.
