In the mainstream media and even within some business meetings, terms like “data analytics,” “data science” and “big data” are used so interchangeably that they might almost seem like the same thing.
The University of Waterloo was proud to host the 36th Annual Canadian Student IIE Conference from January 21st through the 24th, 2016. The conference was a platform for knowledge sharing, competing, networking, and learning. Students competed in a variety of competitions such as technical paper, simulation, theoretical and case study competition.

Big data is believed to be the key to the next wave of management innovation, productivity, and growth. Yet, there is a shortage of professionals who can glean meaningful insights from data to make effective decisions.
