In today's data-driven world, equipping physics undergraduates with data science skills is essential for academic and professional success. This webinar explores key insights from the Data Science Education Community of Practice (DSECOP), a collaborative initiative designed to support physics educators in integrating data science into the undergraduate curriculum.
We will discuss the benefits of combining physics and data science, share strategies for overcoming common challenges such as limited resources and curriculum constraints, and highlight modular teaching resources that simplify the adoption process. Additionally, participants will gain an understanding of how these efforts prepare students for data-intensive research and industry roles while enriching their physics education. Join us to learn practical, scalable approaches to modernizing physics education and equipping a new generation of physicists with essential data science skills.
