Abstract :
It is essential to prepare students with knowledge and skills in area of business analytics (BA) which will help business to process data, find patterns and relations, develop insights from past transactions, and make prediction. We develop hands-on labs to teach business analytics to students in Computer Science, Information Technology, and Software Engineering disciplines. Our hands-on labs can be adopted in courses such as database systems, data warehousing, data mining, etc. We use enterprise BA tools including MS SQL Server Business Intelligence and Cognos 10 platforms, which are essential to increase student interests, improve student learning, and enhance student confidence. Our hands-on labs contain three parts with one is built upon another: 1) Data integration; 2) Data Warehouse; and 3) Business analytics.
