Data Engineering

Understand, prepare, and manipulate data as a


core component of business intelligence
Every day, organizations are inundated with data, from customer details
to business transactions, systems information, and more. The constant
influx of valuable information has made data one of the most valuable
resources within any organization. Data empowers executives and
organizations to make better decisions based on facts, figures, and
statistical trends to achieve strategic objectives. With so much
information available, the challenge becomes making sense of it all.

Data Engineering
Often considered the most critical skill for data scientists, data
engineering—also known as information engineering—looks at how to
collect, analyze, and practically apply data. Expertise in data
engineering is required across industries, and professionals equipped
with this unique technical knowledge are an asset to any organization.

Course Details

Tuition: USD $2,500

Course Format: Remote learning with live, interactive sessions

Duration: Eight weeks

Language: English

University of Chicago and Shree Bharadwaj, MS; Data Engineering
Instructor, the University of Chicago
About the Course 
Over eight weeks, our Data Engineering course will provide you with a
technical overview of how to understand, leverage, and report on data.
You will be taught how to source, prepare, and manipulate historical
data. During the course you will also learn about the history and
principles of database systems, how to clean raw data, and how to use
SQL to load and query data in databases.

You will learn to:

• Understand databases, data classification, data formats, and data


profiles

• Apply data privacy and security, data ingestion techniques, and data
quality and preparation

• Identify the principles and best practices of relational databases

• Use the standard language for manipulating databases

• Design a system, known as data warehousing, used for reporting and


data analysis
Who Should Attend?
This course has been specifically designed for professionals in
associate-level, non-technical roles who want to transition into the field
of data science, data engineering, and analytics. While no background
knowledge is required to participate in this course, individuals with
basic knowledge of data science will consolidate and update their
understanding of data engineering. This is a technical course that will
give participants hands-on, practical experience in coding, data
engineering tools, and databases.
