Project based learning in business intelligence with intervention of companies

Most active teaching approaches in higher education neglects the involvement of industry in academic projects. In this article, we will present our experience in the module of “business intelligence learning project” where we have joined a project - which was proposed and supervised by professionals- with the PBL approach “project based learning” and how we integrated this project in the curriculum of a computer engineer specialized in Business Intelligence. In this project, we worked with five companies that provided us with six projects in the area of business intelligence using new technologies in the market such as big data, data mining and text mining.
