Mathematical and Computational Consulting

Professional Preparation Program

Fall 2022, UMass Dartmouth

This course will satisfy University Study 5-B (Learning through Engagement)

In order to be able to deliver the product (final report, codes) at the end of the semester, students are advised to choose only one project from one client. Descriptions about the projects provided by the clients are available in mycourses. Every project will have a project leader. With permission from the instructor, a student can work on a subproject from different client.
