ASEE IL-IN Section Conference. 8.https://docs.lib.purdue.edu/aseeil-insectionconference/2019/posters/8Customer DiscoveryThe team conducted interviews to gauge the likelihood of people being interested in implementing the analytical software. The BMC to identify the key aspects used to develop University Analytics.Business Model Canvas (BMC)TAM = All Universities in the USSAM = Private Universities in the USTarget Market = Private Universities in Indy AreaMarket Size Analysis- Total Available Market (TAM)= 4,140- Served Available Market (SAM)= 2,441- Target Market = 28Market AnalysisThe overall market University Analytics will enter is new and unestablished. The Market Size Analysis Model identifies potential markets differing in size that the team could enter, indicated by number of universities:Design ConceptsDatabase options:- SQLite- MySQL- MongoDB- CassandraThe team decided on SQLite and Flaskto develop University Analyticsdue to complexity and universality of the systems. Creativity in Design- Use custom data- Analyze multiple inputs simultaneously- Segregate results by preference- Display results in graphical formatsThe System Architecture Diagram highlights the path of the data used in University Analytics.Student Data API Front EndData RetrievalMappingBusiness LogicControllersConnectionAuthenticateDisplayMap to SoftwareAnalyze Data Return ResultsDatabaseCustomerDataEmploymentDataSystem Architecture DiagramValue Proposition- Value of a university education- Return on investment- Nationwide usability- Competitive factor for universitiesReturn on Investment on a University Education: Development of an Analytical Software ToolBy: Kinsey West, Ante Lučev, Kristians Kanders, Joshua LoveFaculty Advisors: Dr. José Sánchez, Dr. David Olawale, Dr. Steve Spicklemire, Dr. Paul Talaga, Dr. Rashedul SarkerIntroductionUniversities have access to numerous amounts of student data, but do not have any analytical software that is able to analyze it.MotivationMotivation for the project originates from the amount of data that being collected but is going unused. The team wants to provide universities with a tool to utilize this data in order to make an influential impact.ObjectivesDevelop an analytical software, known as University Analytics, that uses student and state employment data to compare the average salary of different majors. SignificanceUniversity Analytics identifies the value and return of investment of a university education.Framework options:- Flask- PHP- Java swing- ASP.NETINTRODUCTIONMajor ReportComparison ReportMinor ReportGender ReportConclusionThe team developed and tested the minimum viable product of University Analytics. Next steps for the project are to implement more complex features to expand the capabilities and impact of the system. Fabrication & TestingThe team tested the performance of University Analytics with a “test” data set.AcknowledgmentsSpecial thanks to our business mentors at Anthem and the faculty advisors of the R.B. Annis School of Engineering for their guidance and support throughout the project.METHODS RESULTSCONCLUSION
