*University of Arkansas; **Arizona State University: ***AACSB, Associate Vice President

The objective of this workshop is to provide faculty participants with a forum to learn about, discuss and identify strategies and resources for Data Analytics and 'Big Data' in the curriculum at their university.  Perspectives from academics as well as industry will prove to be very valuable for faculty as they develop/refine the incorporation of Analytics and Data Management (databases, big data, ...) into their curriculum.  The discussion and exchange will focus on strategies, content, challenges, including finding and sharing available resources for faculty and student use.  This workshop is intended for faculty who are considering the development of an analytics curriculum or courses, as well as faculty teaching in the areas of Business Intelligence, Data, Statistics, and Business Analytics.  The workshop is facilitated by a panel of faculty and resource providers, including the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accreditation office, who initiated discussion on analytics curriculum design.  This workshop includes the identification of available support resources, such as systems from such top companies as IBM, SAP, SAS and Teradata (including IBM's SPSS Modeler, Bluemix (Hadoop/Map Reduce & Spark), Cognos Insights, and Watson's Analytics; SAP S/4HANA and Predictive Analytics; SAS Enterprise Guide, SAS Enterprise Miner & SAS Visual Analytics via Teradata University Network).
