and $81K per year,” Briere wrote. “The City will make no invest- ment other than the land.” During Monday’s meeting, Bri- ere said the Ann Arbor airport is the best place for the solar panel to be installed because it is far enough from residences, a con- cern among some opposed to the contract. Scott Simons, a spokesman for DTE Energy, said the contract between the energy company and Ann Arbor is part of a larger com- pany goal to derive 10 percent of the company’s produced energy from renewable sources. Under Michigan’s 2008 Clean, Renew- able and Efficient Energy Act, Michigan electricity suppliers are required to include at least this amount of renewable energy by 2015. Ninety percent of DTE’s renew- able energy will come from wind energy, with the remaining 5 per- cent derived from solar energy and biofuels, Simons said. DTE’s initiative to use more renewable energy sources includes customer-owned and utility-owned programs. The util- ity-owned programs require that the company partner with a host organization. In this case, the host organization is the city of Ann Arbor. Simons said 20 utility-owned sites like the one planned in Ann Arbor have already been built and another six will be finished by the end of 2015. DTE has similar solar panel contracts including one with Monroe County Community Col- lege, Blue Cross Blue Shield in Detroit, Mercy High School in Farmington Hills, two with Gen- eral Motors plants and two with the University. Simons cited Ann Arbor’s interest in increasing the city’s use of renewable energy as a motivation for the councilmem- bers to approve the contract. Taylor said the solar panel ini- tiative is part of a larger plan to improve the city’s sustainability efforts. “We have a sustainability framework which provides the direction for some of these city actions,” Taylor said. “We have a climate action plan to increase SOLAR From Page 1 2 — Friday, February 6, 2015 The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com THREE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW TODAY The Michigan men’s basketball team lost to Iowa at Crisler Center on Thursday, 72-54, falling to 13-10 on the season.

The event, called “Inno- vate Your Future,” featured six alumni guests. Members of the Student Assembly’s academic affairs committee, LSA sophomore Julia Gips and LSA senior Rachel Rickles created the event in light of the new LSA entrepreneurship minor as well as to facilitate relationships between students and alumni. “It’s a great way for students with specific interests to meet with the right people rather than just having a general group of alumni so that students can really feel that they’re having a meaningful experience,” Gips said. Josh Buoy, co-creator of brand consultancy firm Snow- day, and Lisa Bee, owner of Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea, attended the event. Jason Harper, director of online strat- egy for FordDirect, and Fiona Ruddy, director of Eastern Market’s food access programs, were also in attendance. Jeff Sorenson, co-founder of opti- Mize, and Rich Yoo, the vice president of innovation at Matt- son & Co., spoke as well. “Our speakers are from a diverse range of backgrounds,” Rickles said. “They have diverse entrepreneurial experiences and that’s something that we wanted to highlight given the relevance of the new minor.” The event was organized in a round robin style, where the alumni rotated around small groups of students and spent approximately 10 minutes talk- ing with each group. Students were encouraged to approach individual alumni after the round robin discussions fin- ished. The speakers told students about their reasons for becom- ing entrepreneurs and how they got to where they are today. “I was frustrated with the fact that so many students would come up with awesome ideas in classes I was in and then classes would end and no one would do anything,” Soren- son said while discussing why he created optiMize. Many of the alumni explained the importance of finding a niche and meeting a need not currently being met when considering creating a startup. They also spoke about entrepreneurship as a tool for social improvement. “No matter what you do or who you work with, it’s about trying to solve problems and make lives better,” Buoy said. The passion needed to become an entrepreneur was discussed as well. “If there’s not enough drive, you can take a 100 business classes and it’s not going to help,” Bee said. One attendee, LSA freshman Josh Carn-Saferstein, noted his passion for entrepreneurship and the opportunities the event offered. “I just love everything about entrepreneurship,” Carn-Safer- stein said. “I know possibilities are endless but you don’t realize what you can do until you actu- ally go out and do something.” New brain injury program BY CARLY NOAH New data science major set to be launched next fall semester Program will incorporate interdisciplinary course options By KATIE PENROD Daily Staff Reporter The University will offer a new program in data science, beginning in the fall semester of 2015. According to an e-mail sent to informatics students last month, the new Data Science program will ultimately take over the Data Mining and Information Analy- sis track within the informatics major. All students already pur- suing the latter track can still finish it, or choose to switch over to a major in data science. Com- pared to the previous program, Data Science will be more inter- disciplinary in nature, including courses in electrical engineering and computer science. Vijay Nair, a professor of sta- tistics and industrial and opera- tions engineering, as well as one of several faculty leaders of this new program, said faculty have been discussing launching this program for about two years. He said they expect it to start small, but added that it will likely grow due to employer demand for can- didates with data science train- ing. “There’s a lot of demand for people who are training as data scientists,” he said. “The field covers a number of different areas that no single department right now in LSA offers.” The program will start with a major only, but Nair said he expects a minor will follow soon afterwards. LSA junior Annemarie Ell- man, who is currently on the informatics Data Mining and Information Analysis track, said she thinks data science is a huge field, especially for careers in information systems. According to the Michigan Institute for Data Science web- site, data science is now widely accepted as a fourth mode of scientific discovery, along with theory, physical experimentation and computational analysis. A 2011 McKinsey Global Institute report estimated that the United States will face a job shortage by 2018 of 140,000 to 190,000 peo- ple with analytical skills. Additionally, Ellman said the program will open doors for Col- lege of Engineering students. She said while informatics is mainly an LSA program, many of the additional classes required for Data Science are electrical engi- neering and computer science classes, which Engineering stu- dents have to take within their program already. “Since data is a huge topic, especially big data, I think it will attract more College of Engi- neering students interested in pursuing something that focuses more on data science,” she said. LSA senior Reid Mechanick, who is also on the data mining track, said in his experience, employers have found itim- portant that he knows how to understand and analyze data. Though he is a senior and already finished with most of his requirements, he said many younger students he has talked with are considering switching over to the Data Science pro- gram, and there’s lots of student interest in the program.
