Program Outcomes

The program provides Learners with in-depth knowledge and understanding of data analytics engineering methods,  processes, and practices. It enables them to deepen their understanding and knowledge in the field of data analytics engineering and its practice in the technological age.  

Learners on the program are able to acquire the requisite knowledge and job-relevant in-demand skills and competencies in data analytics engineering.  The program prepares Learners for professional data analytics engineering careers with the competencies to lead engineering projects in the field.

The ACTIVEclassTM Mode of Delivery of this Program lays less emphasis on teaching or instruction. Learners are encouraged and empowered to develop and acquire their Program-specific  SEEKTM (skills, expertise, experience, and know-how) through the innovative LKDATM (Learn, Know, Do, Acquire) approach

The Program provides Learners with in-depth knowledge and understanding of the core, concentration, and specialization subject areas of the Program to enable them develop and acquire the relevant Program-specific SEEKTM  through actively engaging in the  Learning-by-Involvement (LbI)  and Knowing-by-Doing (KbD) activity-based learner-initiative-intensity-activeness LKDATM-Outcome AATs (actions, activities, and tasks).

The LKDATM– Outcome ACTIVEclassTM Mode of Program Delivery

The Program is ACTIVEclassTM Compliant whereby the instructional delivery approach is designed to facilitate, support, and empower the active engagement of Learners in the process of developing and acquiring their Program-specific SEEKTM (skills, expertise, experience, and know-how).

ACTIVEclassTM   Instructors are, therefore, not at the center of the teaching-instruction-learning process. They focus on introducing the subject matter of instruction, mapping out and guiding Learners through learner-initiative-intensity-activeness LKDATM (Learn, Know, Do, Acquire) Outcome AATs (actions, activities, and tasks).

ACTIVEclassTM  Learners are therefore encouraged and empowered to play an active engagement role in contributing to their SEEKTM (skills, expertise, experience, and knowledge/know-how) development and acquisition process through actively engaging in the  Learning-by-Involvement (LbI)  and Knowing-by-Doing (KbD) activity-based LDKATM Outcomes AATs (activities, actions, and tasks).
