Improving Database Engineering Curriculum
Reza Sanati-Mehrizy, Afsaneh Minaie · 2020
Our university is a liberal art university with primarily undergraduate programs located in an area with many technology oriented business.In our Computer Science program, we offer a Database Engineering area of specialization which includes a number of database related courses but does not include any data mining related course.A study has shown that some universities and colleges offer very few database related courses and do not offer any data mining course.On the other hand, many universities offer more than one database related courses and they also offer data mining course(s).But mostly these universities offer their data mining course as a graduate course.Therefore, the students who graduate from the universities like our university with no graduate computer science program will not have the opportunity to get Data Mining knowledge.To improve our Database Engineering curriculum, we have decided to add a new Data Mining course to this curriculum.The paper first presents this curriculum and then elaborates the content detail of this Data Mining course.
