CS 1173 Computation for Scientists and Engineers
Data Analysis and Visualization Using MATLAB
Summary page
This course is being developed by Kay Robbins in the Department of Computer Science at the University of
Texas at San Antonio with support from the National Science Foundation
under DUE 0837248: Teaching computing to biologists through data visualization.
CS 1173 was offered for the first time in the fall semester of 2008. The course is organized into lessons, laboratories, projects,
and quizzes:
The lessons introduce data analysis and visualization techniques in a work-along fashion. These
lessons are supplemented with handouts that cover background material. Students are not expected
to completely understand the material just by working through the lessons. Every topic that is introduced
in a lesson is reinforced in subsequent lessons and laboratories.
The laboratories have the instructions rephrased so the students have to
adapt the lessons rather than directly copy.
The projects have a more general specification, forcing students to
make choices about how to analyze the data.
