Rita Pires Soares, Jeojildo Pereira, Frederico A. Dos S. Branco . Fostering the Future Workforce in Timor-Leste: The Integration of Data Visualization, Big Data and IoT in Universities Curricula. International Journal of Computer Applications. 185, 9 ( May 2023), 40-45. DOI=10.5120/ijca2023922762
In today's data-driven world, the ability to effectively analyze and visualize large datasets is becoming increasingly important for students across all academic disciplines. Despite the growing importance of these skills, many universities havebeen slow to integrate data visualization and big data into their curricula. This article aims to explore the gap between the demand for data visualization and big data skills in the workforce and the current state of higher education in teaching these skills. Discuss the growing demand for data visualization, big data, and IoT skills in the workforce; identify the current challenges faced by universities inTimor-Leste in integrating these skills into their curricula. Highlight the importance of integrating these skills into university curricula for the future of Timor-Leste'sworkforce and economy, and provide suggestions for how universities can overcome the challenges of integrating these skills into the curricula. The article concludes with a call for universities to prioritize the integration of data visualization and big data in their curricula to better prepare students for thedemands of the modern workforce. The methodology used to develop this article was a literature review that involved searching for relevant peer-reviewed articles, studies, reports, and other sources that have explored the topics of datavisualization, big data, and IoT, and their integration into university curricula
