Application-Driven Design: Help Students Understand Employment and See the "Big Picture"

IEEE Comput Graph Appl. 2018 May;38(3):90-105. doi: 10.1109/MCG.2018.032421656.

Abstract

Few tools for career exploration utilize visualizations despite their potential to help students understand the intangible relationships between jobs and majors. Our application-driven design combines the intuitiveness of node-link diagrams and the scalability of aggregation-based techniques to combine an overview of a job database with the option for individualized exploration.
