How to Access Project Materials


Overview

The "University Success Analysis" is a comprehensive capstone project exploring the impact of ranking systems on universities. It aims to compare university rankings, evaluate the influence of ranking criteria, and analyze dynamic shifts in university metrics over time.


Significance

This project holds significant implications for gaining insights into and enhancing the performance of universities. The structured dataset, combined with MECE analysis and Power BI visualizations, enables a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing university success.


Project Components

1. MECE Approach Documentation (Word)

  • File Name: MECE_Breakdown.docx
  • Description: Uncover the logic behind the process! This guide provides a closer look at how datasets are systematically analyzed using the MECE (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive) method.

Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive (MECE) Approach

MECE Diagram

The MECE diagram outlines the structured approach applied in dissecting and evaluating the dataset. This method ensures that every component is distinct (Mutually Exclusive) while covering all possibilities (Collectively Exhaustive). It serves as the foundation for uncovering valuable insights and patterns across various dimensions, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of the data.

2. EDA University Data Analysis (Excel)

  • File Name: University_Success_Analysis_EDA.xlsx
  • Description: Conduct a thorough Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) using SQL and Excel. This file includes data aggregation, visualizations, and insightful screenshots for a comprehensive understanding.

3. Power BI University Success Analysis (Power BI)

  • File Name: PowerBI_University_Success_Analysis.pbix
  • Description: Harness the capabilities of Power BI! This file addresses problem statements, visualizes data, and constructs dashboards for a comprehensive view of university rankings.

Entity-Relationship (ER) Diagram

ER Diagram

The Entity-Relationship (ER) Diagram illustrates interconnected data entities, providing a visual guide to relationships between countries, universities, ranking systems, criteria, and their dynamic interactions in global higher education.

4. Project Presentation (PowerPoint)

  • File Name: Project_Presentation.pptx
  • Description: Commence a visual journey! This PowerPoint presentation provides an overview of the project, methodologies, and a detailed breakdown of each problem statement addressed during the exploratory data analysis (EDA) and Power BI phases.
  • Link to Access the PowerPoint Presentation and Video Walkthrough

Access the PowerPoint presentation for a comprehensive overview of the project, and watch the accompanying video walkthrough for detailed insights and methodologies

5. Detailed Analysis Report (Word)

  • File Name: University_Success_Detailed_Analysis_Report.docx
  • Description: Explore the details! This comprehensive document guides you through every stage of the project, from data gathering and transformation to systematic breakdown, integration of tools, insights gained through exploratory data analysis (EDA), and implementation of solutions using Power BI.
