The change process started in a Fall 2013 ABET retreatwhere faculty and staff participated in two thought exercises.

]. Predictions for the near future are that this demand for data-skilled talentwill continue to grow, whereas the supply (from colleges and universities training the nextgeneration of data scientists and analysts) will not be able to keep up with that pace (for one suchstudy see, e.g., [3]).To fill in that gap, graduate programs at several leading research universities have created newtracks within the existing graduate programs, or in a few cases new degree programs entirely,focusing on data science and analytics [4]. These programs are led and taught by the existingfaculty ranging from Mathematics & Statistics to Computer Science to Business Schools.However, while training MS and PhD level Data Scientists is important, by itself it is unlikely

An additional conclusion from this study was that students who didnot have access to a solution manual asked more questions of the instructor during office hoursthan students who could reference a solution manual. An additional study with engineeringstudents showed inconclusive results regarding whether graded vs. un-graded homeworkcorrelates with exam scores26.
