Dealing with management of such data is a challenge for DBMSs. According to several surveys, many company engineers choose Hadoop for their premier management system [5], due to its flexibility, ease of management and being open source software. However, more recently, database administrators of big company cite that Hadoop does not always work in their best interest in specific areas of data management.

Regarding academic engagement,students report in interviews that faculty behaviors influence student academic engagement, andthat small adjustments to faculty behavior could improve student engagement. When observingclasses, we observed that lecture still predominates in the engineering classroom; however, weobserved a modified lecture style that was occasionally used, in which we observed a highstudent academic engagement and faculty interaction that typically occurs only in active learningenvironments.
