About MIS PRO Points Requirements
- In the MIS Department, students are required to be active in and out of the classrooms to fulfill the 1000 PRO Points requirement for graduation. As a result, many students in the major wonder what is the best way to earn Pro Points and graduate on time.
- I worked with a MIS senior, Long Nguyen, to understand the database, analyze interesting value points, and create a final infographic that is understandable for everyone to follow.
How we did it?
- We set up weekly meeting to go over project requirements and perform the necessary analysis on the data. To perform data analysis, we organized and processed data using Excel pivot tables. We then used Tableau, a business intelligence software, to create meaningful visualizations of our findings. Finally, we imported those visualizations into Piktochart to create a visually appealing and easy to understand infographic.
What I leanred?
- Storing, organizing, and analyzing big datasets to enable meaningful findings
- Utilizing data visualization tools
- Processing data through Excel pivot tables
- Applying SQL to manipulate and manage database
- Tools I used: Tableau, Excel, MySQL, Piktochart.
Our final deliverable
- This report is a part of the department’s Professional Achievement Program (PRO), where every MIS student needs to obtain at least 1,000 points in order to graduate. It provides insight into how MIS students are earning points in comparison to their peers, and recommends various ways which underclassmen can get involved to fulfill the PRO points requirement.
