Daylight Rules-of-Thumb Experimentally Examined Khaled Mansy School of Architecture Oklahoma State UniversityAbstractThe paper aims to help architecture and architectural engineering students in the early designstages to accurately determine the optimum glass ratio for different building types in differentclimates. Currently, the design profession depends on old outdated rules-of-thumb to estimatethe area of windows that allows good utilization of daylight. These rules-of-thumb are the (1)2.5 rule, (2) one tenth rule, and (3) 15/30 rule. None of these rules-of-thumb is tailored to aspecific building type fitted with a

informatics. These data sets are valuable assets and in great needs to be analyzed. However, there is a shortage of workforce for big data analysis. Education innovations are required to empower students with the skills and technologies for large dataset analysis. Over the last few years, there is a high demand for new programs in data science and analytics (DSA). We has performed a systematic study of the existing DSA programs in the US by checking the detailed information about the degree programs, the program competencies, the curriculum designs, the expected learning outcomes, program sizes, professional careers, and other related information. There are more than 70 DSA programs offered in the US
