For instance, raising student awareness regarding licensing issues forprojects using a proprietary database such as Nexis Uni® is important. Automated text and datamining are not allowed in Nexis Uni® and other library databases, thereby restricting someprojects proposed by students. We need increased opportunities to teach ethical and legal issuesin working with data and to teach students that not all data are free and unrestricted.Data analytics is different from other academic programs because the learning outcomes areabout developing techniques and selecting analyses; instead of instilling knowledge about asubject, the goal is to develop a skill-set

Overall, faculty tended to agreewith industry on the importance of leadership competencies in their associated fields, particularlyfor competencies such as ethics/responsibility, communication, professionalism, and ambition.But while this overall profile generically captures faculty ways of knowing leadership amongsurvey respondents, our analysis also uncovered nuances within the data that warrant furtherexploration

In this methodology, a question or problem is used todrive the students’ learning activities to produce a product that can be used in real world. PBL isused to prepare students with skills such as leadership, team building, ethical behavior,creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving [2]. PBL has been implemented as part of thecurriculum or as a replacement of the traditional classroom.EMLs are either designed independently or used by modifying existing pedagogy techniquessuch as SBL or ACL.
