Brief Description of Aims and Content
This module on research methodology aims to assist students to plan well and execute their final year projects. It addresses the essential concerns of the structure, conduct and reporting of research that necessarily includes proposal writing also. It covers the constituent considerations and ordering of problem identification, assumptions, justification, scope, limitations, organization, literature review and information sources, objectives, hypothesis setting and testing, research questions, theoretical and conceptual frameworks, research design, design of experiments (including manufacture of prototype or experimental rig), sampling, research methods, data collection methods, field tools and techniques, techniques of data measurement, statistical as well as computer supports for data analysis, interpretations, conclusions, recommendations and implications as well as financial and time budgeting (Scheduling and Gantt Charts). Technical report writing and approaches to referencing are also given emphasis.
One of the most dramatic new developments in database design is the data warehouse, a powerful database model that significantly enhances managers' abilities to quickly analyze large multidimensional data sets. In this module students can learn practical information needed to design, manage, build and use dimensional data warehouses for virtually any type of business application. Employing many real-life case studies of data warehouses, the course provides clear guidelines on how to model data and design data warehouses to support advanced multidimensional decision support systems. Product-Oriented and Customer-Oriented data warehouse examples are explored. Beginning with a simple grocery store data warehouse example the course progresses to complex business applications in retail, manufacturing, banking, insurance, subscriptions, and airline reservations
