Enhancing Database Courses Through the EDNA Project: A Preliminary Framework for the Extraction of Diverse Datasets and Analysis

摘要

To enhance and grow the database certificate program and enhance database courses offered by the Computer Science/Information Technology department (CSIT) at the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC), we are in the process of developing the EDNA Project. The EDNA Project- Extraction of Diverse Datasets and Analysis will be an educational database and project set encompassing several large real-world datasets that will be accessible to students in the database courses. This project was created out of the need for more elaborate examples and hands-on experience with database concepts. This repository will help serve to teach database concepts, data analytics, and lead to topics related to big data to students in these courses and certificates programs. In addition, this paper describes collaboration with the University of Baltimore and the beginnings of Project RED. This paper discusses our current work in developing this project.
