Student Learning Outcomes
This course covers the following ACM/IEEE Body of Knowledge student learning outcomes:

CC-IS: Intelligent Systems
CC-IM: Information Management

ABET Outcome Coverage
The course maps to the following performance indicators for Computer Science (CAC/ABET):
(CAC PIa1): Apply and perform the correct mathematical analysis.
Apply statistical methods to perform introductory and intermediate data mining analysis, such as pattern mining, classification, and clustering.
(CAC PIb1): Identify key components and algorithms necessary for a solution.
Analyze a common data mining problem, such as one of the national data mining competition challenges, and select the appropriate data mining technique(s) to solve that problem.
(CAC PIb2): Produce a solution within specifications.
Implement the chosen data mining technique(s) to solve a data mining problem using a high level programming language and/or a data mining toolkit.
(CAC PIe1): Recognize ethical issues involved in a professional setting.
Explore the ethical dimensions of data mining, such as access to personal data and human subjects research, and analyze ethical dilemmas involving data mining. (Also part of the CSUB Ethics Across the Curriculum initiative)
