Abstract
Data science is an emerging field that encompasses several STEM domains and offers exciting career prospects in a wide range of engineering applications. Several studies have emphasized that the use of data science in the present civil engineering undergraduate curricula is mostly restricted to simple introductory subjects, usually with the use of Microsoft Excel. The curriculum does not encourage students to fully benefit from big data since data science is not extensively used. In Additionally, there is a lack of clear guidance on how to strengthen the synergy between common civil engineering courses and data science.
