Program Description
In this 6-week, 6-credit program, you’ll live at Notre Dame’s Conway Hall and go to classes in Fischer Hall — the site of Notre Dame’s Global Gateway — just off the bustling Trafalgar Square in the heart of London.
In addition to classes in Notre Dame’s London Global Gateway, you’ll tour the Tower of London, ride the double-decker Red Bus, visit the British Museum, and attend several high-end theater productions.
This program is open to all engineering students.
The 2025 London 2 program will be led by Notre Dame Professor Patrick Flynn in conjunction with local London Gateway Faculty, Victoria Holmes.
Courses
All students enroll in both of the following courses for a total of 6 engineering credits.
- CSE 34037: Introduction to Data Science for Engineers
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles and practices of Data Science. Students will develop intermediate proficiency in Python, enabling them to design and implement effective data science workflows. Key topics include data sourcing, curation, and engineering (such as filtering, storage, and selection). The course also covers modern data visualization techniques, alongside foundational concepts in inference, including classification and regression. Additionally, students will learn to construct compelling narratives and stories using the insights gained from data science processes.
- HIST 34388: At Home with the Victorians
Everyone has a sense of home, and, to the British in the Victorian period, home developed into an obsession that continues today. This course looks at the everyday spaces inhabited by the Victorians in London and the surrounding provinces. “Home” to the Victorians came in many guises, both temporal and permanent, domestic and institutional, charitable and municipal, and the experience within varied significantly between the classes. Students will explore life behind closed doors using a range of primary sources alongside secondary reading. In taking this course, students will gain a nuanced understanding of domestic and institutional life through the spectrum of home and engage with the broader social, political, and economic developments in Victorian society.
