Each online fixed-date course is asynchronous, meaning that you can work on your assignments anytime, although required to complete the assignments by specific dates. The course is designed with learning modules where all of the content is grouped into weekly assignments. Each module covers one or more topics. Within each of the learning modules, you can expect the following components:
Each online, fixed-date course is seven weeks long. Students are required to complete certain assignments by specific dates, but have 24/7 access to coursework to complete assignments on a schedule that is convenient for them.
Students should have familiarity with basic programming fundamental concepts such as Python, SQL, etc. There are no prerequisite courses, and no prior professional experience in data engineering is required.
Data Engineering Fundamentals is worth two (2) graduate level credits or Continuing Education Units (CEUs).
Upon successful completion of Data Engineering Fundamentals, you will have sufficient knowledge of the daily tasks of a data engineer and how their work contributes to larger business objectives.
