Data Science Education in Undergraduate Physics: Lessons Learned from a Community of Practice

arXiv:2403.00961v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: With the increasing availability of diverse datasets, ranging from small-scale experimental data points to large and complex data repositories and powerful data analysis tools, it is increasingly important that physics educators equip their students with the skills to work with data effectively. However, many educators may lack the necessary training and expertise in data science to teach these skills. To address this gap, we created the Data Science Education Community of Practice (DSECOP), bringing together …
