Summer Research Program in Data Science for Agriculture

Purdue University will offer again in 2020, a 10-week paid summer program regarding data science for agriculture. Any undergraduate college student (at least 1 semester completed) with US Citizenship or permanent residency is eligible. In this program, students will extend their data science skills in assorted areas of agriculture. Whether novice or with some experience (and we had both previously), students will learn more in Excel, Python, Unix shell, and ArcGIS. There is a mix of some hands-on class time and independent work. The program culminates with an independent research project.

Last years' participants came from 6 different institutions around the country and were very pleased with the experience. Several are now using these instructors as references for jobs and graduate school. This is an opportunity to spend a summer well and be even more qualified for data driven agriculture. See the flyer for more information or visit https://engineering.purdue.edu/~dbuckmas/teaching/REEU/info.htm to learn more details about the program that also includes related tours and activities.

Instructors come from several departments including Agricultural and Biological Engineering, Statistics, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Agronomy, and Entomology. Note that applications are due on Feb 3, 2020.
