That’s what he does in his Online Master of Engineering […]
If you are already an experienced mid-career professional in advanced analytics, data science or a related role, you may not feel strongly driven to pursue graduate education. While 90 percent of data scientists have advanced degrees, there is still a global shortage of Big Data talent. Coupled with growing demand for data scientists, that talent shortage has […]
Reza Peyrovian spent 25 years at Bell Labs, leading high-budget projects that produced hardware and software that still operates as part of the AT&T network. As an adjunct professor at Stevens Institute of Technology’s Charles V. Schaefer Jr. School of Engineering & Science, he’s helped develop their high-ranking online master’s program in computer science. We sat […]
Supply chain sustainability is a vital but exceedingly complicated element of corporate responsibility. Creating supply chains that are both economically and environmentally sustainable is challenging because it involves so much more than simply implementing green procurement strategies that support the traditional bottom line. Engineering managers who want to foster sustainability can run into numerous roadblocks […]
When Dale Kelly applied to Stevens Institute of Technology’s Online Master in Computer Science program, he worried that he might not be qualified to pursue a graduate-level online computer science degree. True, he had completed a software engineering internship at Buncee and a computational science internship at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Additionally, he had earned a bachelor’s degree from the […]
Conventional wisdom states that success is a matter of who you know, not what you know. In data science, success hinges on both. Ninety percent of data scientists have advanced degrees — suggesting a discipline with high respect for formal education — but a Master of Science in Data Science (MSDS) isn’t enough to launch a career. Relationships drive […]
Data Science vs. Computer Science: Lines between technological disciplines have grown increasingly blurry in a world where complex computer systems control everything from telecommunication networks to IoT-enabled teapots. The ever-expanding reach of these systems has spawned abundant specialized occupational opportunities in technology, which is fantastic news for people already passionate about one or more subfields […]
Many people pursue careers in data science after reading articles proclaiming that salaries in the field are sky high and that the job market is red hot. Both assertions are true, but what provocative headlines fail to mention is that there’s nothing easy about becoming a data scientist. Successful data scientists are well paid and […]
When Covid-19 shuttered offices and turned other white-collar workers into remote employees, many data scientists were already working as part of distributed teams. Notable companies such as payment processing platform Stripe, IBM, Bank of America and the Google subsidiary Kaggle employed remote data scientists years before the pandemic. Companies across sectors may be welcoming employees […]
The technology sector embraced remote work long before Covid-19 shuttered offices in 2020. Companies in this space had the digital infrastructure to manage distributed teams years earlier and recognized that having generous remote work policies let them court top global talent. Amazon, Intuit, Dell and Adobe topped lists of companies with remote jobs back in 2018. Since […]
