Big Data Big Impact at Purdue
About
The Big Data Big Impact Club aims to transform the world according to the UN’s 17 Sustainability Development Goals through data and technological developments. We aim to imagine and pursue a better future.
Our world as we see it has so much data. We attempt to harness this data and develop metrics and technology to help solve sustainability issues. Project teams are also set up similar to industry start-ups. This type of organization facilitates rapid development of technology. We encourage collaboration with other schools to create better solutions and advance development further.
Each member has the ability to develop their own solution to a sustainability issue from conception. Members will learn valuable technical skills and be exposed to multiple disciplines across an engineering team. They will be challenged to create practical solutions that have business potential.
