SMU Data Science and Analytics Society

ABOUT US

The Data Science and Analytics (DSA) Society at SMU was founded in AY2021. It focuses on supporting all DSA second major students in their data science journey by providing industry-relevant training and networking opportunities, helping them build their portfolios.

Vision
To complement SMU's DSA second major so that its members may be equipped with the necessary skills and insights to kickstart their careers.

Mission
To foster fellowship among its members as well as with the faculty and alumni, through a series of talks, workshops, networking sessions, and competitions.

You can learn more about us and reach out to us via our website at https://smudsasociety.com/.

KEY EVENTS

  1. Bidding Workshops
    We hold a bidding workshop annually to inform fellow DSA students about crucial updates to the curriculum, important modules to take and the recommended progression through the major along with insights by seniors into the many electives available.
  2. Industry Talks
    DSA Society regularly invites industry experts and alumni to talk to our students, inform them about key skills required within the industry and the various roles available. In the previous cycle, DSA Society hosted speakers from Mantheos, Gigastaq and Moody's Analytics.
  3. Training Workshops
    We also regularly conduct training workshops and bootcamps in relevant data science tools and skills like R, Github and Machine Learning.
