Radovilsky, Zinovy; Hegde, Vishwanath – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2022
Data Mining (DM) is one of the most offered courses in data analytics education. However, the design and delivery of DM courses present a number of challenges and issues that stem from the DM's interdisciplinary nature and the industry expectations to generate a broader range of skills from the analytics programs. In this research, we identified…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Waguespack, Leslie J., Jr. – Information Systems Education Journal, 2010
No individual subject area in IS 2002 impacts more aspects of computing theory or professional preparation than data modeling. For more than four decades the bedrock of data modeling has been the relational data model. There are numerous extensions, variations and implementations of this theory but its core remains the central anchor in the…

Enabling Geotechnical Data for Broader Use by the Spatial Data Infrastructures
Direct linkDirect link
Zand, Amir Ghasem – ProQuest LLC, 2011
Geotechnical data are one of the most prevalent data types in civil engineering projects. The majority of the civil engineering projects that are in use today are designed using site-specific geotechnical data. The usage of geotechnical data is not limited to construction projects. This data is used in a wide range of applications, including…
