CS-A1160 - Beginner's Python for Engineers, Lecture, 27.2.2024-10.4.2024

Topic outline

• Course Project
  The course project accounts for 50 % of the total course grade. It will be done in groups of 3-5 students. You will be given the chance to select your own groups here on MyCourses.

  In the course project, you will use the tools covered in the lectures to analyze data. The project will be handed in as a Python Jupyter notebook (IPYNB-file) that includes all of the code used and a detailed written report of the analysis (as Markdown cells). The code (programming component) and the written report (project report) are graded separately, but they should be freely interspersed in the notebook.

  The data you use must come in two separate parts (from different sources):

  1. A base dataset (larger) as a CSV or Excel file
  2. Some additional data (smaller) either manually written in the code or as a separate file

  Your task is to combine these two groups of semi-related data into a single whole and analyze the results. The combining must be done as part of the code in your notebook. This means that the additional data should not be in your base dataset file, it should instead come from an entirely different source.

  You can find the base dataset yourself OR choose one of the predefined datasets. You must find the additional data yourself. The selected data and a short topic plan must be sent in for approval prior to working on the project. See Project Description.

    Final Project Submission Assignment

    Completion

    Students must

    

    Make a submission

    The final submission must be a zip file containing at least the project notebook, main dataset, additional dataset and presentation slides. The folder structure for the zip file must be done correctly such that the Jupyter notebook can be run without any modifications or extra steps, i.e. it finds and reads the data.
    
    Make sure to check for details on the "Submissions" section of the Project Description file.
