    • examine fundamental database concepts via actual database design process.

      • from conceptual data representation to storing data in an actual database.

    • Understand how to design and implement information visualizations. 

    • Know how information visualizations use dynamic interaction methods to help users understand data. 

    • Learn to apply an understanding of human perceptual and cognitive capabilities to the design of information visualizations. 

    • Develop skills in critiquing different visualization techniques in the context of user goals and objectives.

    • Learn how to implement compelling information visualizations.
