Great Valley
'Test drive' course: Data Visualization
6:00 PM - 7:30 PM / October 17, 2023
Are you on the fence about pursuing a graduate program? Come to Penn State Great Valley for the opportunity to "test drive" a class to get a feel for what it's like to be a student. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of the session to allow time to find the classroom and get situated.
The course provides a foundation in the principles, concepts, techniques and tools for visualizing information in large complex data sets. Unlike scientific visualization, which focuses on the presentation of data that has a spatial or physical correspondence, data visualization focuses on mapping complex, abstract information to a physical representation.
