Products don't design and build themselves. In this course, students learn how to staff, plan and execute a project to build a product. We explore sensors, which produce tremendous volumes of data, and then storage devices and file systems for storing big data. Finally, we study machine learning and big data analytics.

In this module we look at machine learning (ML), what it is and how it works. You will learn about several supervised learning algorithms and 1 unsupervised learning algorithm. No coding is required of you. Instead I provide working source code to you so you can play around with these algorithms. I wrap up by providing some examples of how ML can be used in the Industrial IoT space.
