改变Lab研究

改变Lab课程, STAT 300: Data Analysis in the Real World, gives students the opportunity to work on a project provided by a client. 在本课程中, students conduct a complete data analytics project including collecting, 组织, 可视化, 分析数据. The students meet with the client during the semester. At the conclusion of the semester, the students present their final product to the client. This course is offered every semester. The topics will vary with each offering and the course may be repeated. Following are descriptions of previous STAT 300 projects:

美国林务局项目

The project was to take the Annual Insect and Disease Survey (IDS) dataset nationally (about 62 GB) and create a display portal that depicts tabular and spatial information on Forest insect damages and Surveyed Area by year from 2000-2021 across fine- to coarse-scale geographic stratifications to inform various levels of public and government (Congressional District, 县, 国家森林, 状态, 地区, 等.). 也, the project extended by incorporating Wildland Fire area impact information into the display portal to augment the Annual Insect and Disease (IDS) survey dataset and provide for holistic disturbance ecology interpretations.

The project was awarded the Leader in Technology Award during the 28th annual Celebration of Leadership program by Leadership Everyone.

新冠海岸间项目

This was a collaborative project between two 改变Labs at UE, WNIN, and ¿Qué Pasa, Midwest?. 它最终获得了一个奖项, investigative podcast series dedicated to telling the story of COVID-19 in the Midwest from the Midwestern perspective. One 改变Lab was Communications-focused while the other was in Data Science. The project won a National Murrow Award.

The Data Science 改变Lab work contained the initial analysis conducted that incorporated demographic information from the US Census Bureau and COVID-19 statistics to assess the impact of COVID-19 across the Midwest region and how it could be disproportionately affecting people based on several demographic characteristics. 除了, the group created an interactive website app that was consistently updated to allow the public to explore and see how COVID-19 spread across the Midwest. It also includes the ability to compare any two counties in the seven-state region. 最后, a Twitter script was developed to tweet out the daily new case numbers for all seven states (Illinois, 印第安纳州, 爱荷华州, 俄亥俄州, 密歇根, 明尼苏达州, 和威斯康辛州).

UE棒球和排球

Using VolleyMetrics game statistics and data from the 2019, 2020, 和2021年排球赛季, students provided analysis to support the team. 他们考虑了位置分析, 游戏统计分析, and correlation analysis of the data, as well as visualization of the data and analyses.

Students also analyzed UE Baseball data from the team’s Trackman system. They generated dynamic tools for performing baseball sports analysis and creating dynamic plots based on user selections.
