Incorporating Data Science in the Undergraduate Physics Curriculum

The Data Science Education Community of Practice (DSECOP) began in fall 2021, with the goal to make data science part of the undergraduate physics curriculum. The project was designed to engage with interested physics faculty through multiple means.To lower the barrier of including data science in typical physics courses, this project works with graduate students and postdocs who are DSECOP Fellows. The Fellows create data science modules intended for undergraduate physics courses. This project additionally has organized two in-person workshops to further engage the faculty and obtain additional feedback on the modules. This presentation provides an overview of our activities, successes and challenges, and our plans for the future.
