Collaborative Course Development
TAMIDS works with Texas A&M faculty, departments and colleges to develop new course offerings in Data Science. Please contact TAMIDS Director Dr. Nick Duffield if you are interested in working with TAMIDS to develop Data Science courses or content for your degree program. Some course modules are also adapted for non-credit bearing training and webinars. For 2020/2021 TAMIDS has established a competitive Data Science Course Development Grant Program to provide support to faculty.
