This course will emphasize a hands-on approach and the acquisition of the following skills: Dimensional design process for a data warehouse -Executing ETL steps for data management, OLAP for managerial reporting and decision-making The primary mode of learning will be through hands-on exercises and cases. A major component of the course grade stems from the course project that is done individually.
