As engineering solutions turn more and more toward automation and the use of AI, the need for practitioners who understand the critical role of human decision making in automated system design is greater than ever. Offered by the Department of Mechanical Engineering, this certificate program supports students interested in engineering, data science and computer science with a desire to build human-AI systems.
The Human Factors in Data Science certificate program provides students with the knowledge and skills to engage in the design of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, based on data science (DS) and machine learning (ML) applications, providing a critical understanding of the role that humans play through the data processing pipeline.
The Tufts Human Factors Engineering program is distinguished by its opportunities to work closely with faculty every step of the way. Students have the chance to collaborate with and learn from some of the most renowned experts in the country, all while seamlessly transitioning from graduate studies to a full-time career.
Through a combination of courses in human factors engineering and data science, students graduate from this program prepared to engage in AI system development, guiding the design of human data collection, feature extraction, and system implementation efforts.
We recognize that attending graduate school involves a significant financial investment. Our team is here to answer your questions about tuition rates and scholarship opportunities.
