Our reasons for doing this are to help students use techniques and tools that arecommonly used by practicing engineers and to help them understand the role theoreticalmodels play in system design and analysis in the presence of the inherent limitations of real-world non-idealities. We paid special attention to explicitly tying the introduction of theoreticalmaterial to real-world applications.3. Require working to completion, especially with the final project.

Application of Big data analytics has been a recentdevelopment in the field of Business Process Management (BPM). The goal is to create a data-driven knowledge base to monitor, optimize, and forecast business operations. Some of thetechniques used to navigate Big data are A/B testing, machine learning, deep learning, naturallanguage processing, etc. Many research activities are being undertaken by industries,institutions, and governments in establishing new theories and technological tools to observe andmonitor Big data in real time and deploy data

The QFT moves theinstructor's role from a knowledge source to an inquiry facilitator. The QFT also empowersstudents to take charge of their learning.
