Every year, the Institute for Advanced Analytics<\/a> receives over a thousand applications from all over the world. Only around a hundred of these applicants earn a spot in the Institute’s prestigious Master of Science in Analytics program.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Institute launched the nation\u2019s first Master of Science in Analytics. Over the course of ten months students are immersed in a cohort-based curriculum and prepared to enter the workforce with a competitive and unique data science skill set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the competitive nature of the application process, almost every class includes Wilson College of Textiles alumni. These students, whether just graduating from the Wilson College, or returning to NC State after years away, all share one thing: They are armed with a world-class textiles education which has set them apart from the other applicants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Jeff Joines<\/a>, Head of the Department of Textile Engineering, Chemistry and Science, credits the department and the degree programs with preparing their students beyond coursework. The mindset and the skills the students learn push them to the forefront of the applicants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe teach our students how to do statistical analysis using real data that we\u2019ve gotten from companies and from my own applied research,\u201d he says. \u201cWe teach them to use information to solve problems, and we\u2019re learning these techniques in the context of real problems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real-world problem solving is at the forefront of learning for students. The college challenges them to apply their skills in the same ways they will when they enter the industry, thinking through problems critically in situations where the answer is not always perfect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cReal-world problem solving was very much the trend across all our classes all four years. Really learning about not just, \u2018This is a fiber. This is a filament,\u2019 but also potential use cases in the industry,\u201d says Ethan-Cole Evans, an alumnus of the college who graduated from the Institute in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evans, who now works at Pendo.io as a data analyst, earned a B.S. in Textile Engineering<\/a> from the college in 2019 before going on to the Institute the following year. His start in textile engineering is what gave him a strong foundation for success upon entering the Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe learned how to think about data not just as a static thing but as a pipeline into a bigger picture, seeing how it can change and transform throughout our process,\u201d Evans says. \u201cComing from the Wilson College of Textiles, going into the program didn\u2019t phase me. I knew I had the skills and fundamentals to help me grow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kirsten Childs graduated from the college in 2011 with a B.S. in Textile Engineering and was a member of the most recent class at the Institute for Advanced Analytics. She now works for SAS as a system engineer and data scientist. For Childs, an education at the college was an influential part of preparing her for entering the Institute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe College of Textiles teaches you to think critically about problems and the different answers that you could have,\u201d Childs explains. \u201cThe engineering mindset really gets you to ask the right questions and think through problems more deeply.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning through real-world problems goes further than just the classroom. The college also prepares its students by helping them find opportunities in the industry to learn by doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve reached out to places like Hanes and gotten our students internships doing data analytics, so they have some real experience,\u201d Joines says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This experience working in the industry teaches students how to apply what they have learned in the classroom to situations they may not have otherwise encountered. They learn how to adapt and find solutions in creative and out of the box ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through their coursework, students at the college are challenged to take leadership roles and learn what it means to effectively lead a team. This commitment to producing well-rounded students is why so many graduates of the college earn leadership positions among their peers at the Institute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSenior Design really teaches our students to work in teams and work on projects and be good leaders and communicators,\u201d Joines says. \u201cI think the combination of that is really the reason why our students have been so successful at being team leads.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Evans and Childs were team leads during their time at the Institute, using their skills from the college to help guide their peers and work effectively together towards a common goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt helped coming from a smaller program that does a lot of group work,\u201d Evans explains. \u201cI was comfortable delegating tasks and also understanding how my work fits in with the rest of the group.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the College of Textiles, we didn\u2019t just write about our solutions or solve problems,\u201d Childs says. \u201cWe had to actually present our results and that was an advantage that helped us stand out and succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And succeed they have; this year’s class of graduates from the Institute for Advanced Analytics had a 100% job placement rate by graduation. Graduates from the Institute work across industries and countries, meaning alumni of the college continue to uphold the Wilson College of Textiles\u2019 legacy for excellence in the textile industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"raw":"\n\n\n\n\n
