Spectra: A Data Engineering Platform
· 5 min read
Spectra, originally Peer Review Insights and Student Metrics (PRISM), is a data engineering and data science project to support engineering student capstone programs.
In 2022, we migrated from manually collecting less than 40 data points per student team to to automatically capturing over 8000 data points across >60 teams per semester. Once we validated the approach at the end of 2022, we spent the first half of 2023, rewriting the system for better modularity to enable for rapid support of new use cases and analysis.
