Summary
Kevin Swingler, head of the division of computer science and mathematics at the University of Stirling, said: “The modern world relies on data to innovate and grow in the digital era. Alation’s Data Intelligence Project augments our curriculum, bringing critical real-world experience with software that better prepares students for career success.” The programme was launched in 2021 and aims to build a “more data-literate, curious and rational world by nurturing the next generation of data professionals”, according to Alation. Maria Haigh, assistant professor at the university, said: “Data intelligence is one of the fastest-growing occupational fields, a highly sought-after role nearly every industry is hiring for. However, many undergraduate programmes do not provide the technical data literacy skills or real-world experience students need to succeed beyond the classroom. Partnering with Alation allows us to tailor our curriculum to real-world demand and provide our students with the tools and experience they need to ignite their career paths, no matter the industry.” Russell McMahon, associate professor at the University of Cincinnati, added testimony: “Alation is foundational to the class I teach, data technology administration.
