Frequently Asked Questions

  • Am I qualified to enroll in the Introduction to Data Engineering short immersive course? Are there any prerequisites?

    Introduction to Data Engineering is an advanced course, which anyone can enroll in; However, we strongly recommend students only enroll if the following statements apply:

    • - Proficiency in command line and general Python programming with an ability to  effectively use standard Python syntax and data structures to implement algorithms.
    • - Understanding of the fundamentals of relational databases and proficiency in basic SQL syntax; the ability to write simple queries to extract information from relational databases.
    • - Working familiarity with regression models and an understanding of foundational terminology/approaches in machine learning such as classification and unsupervised learning.
    • - Students who have comfort with web scraping or obtaining data through application programming interfaces (APIs) will be able to pursue a larger range of project possibilities, though these skills aren’t necessary to succeed in the course. 
    • - Students need a Github account, which they can sign up for easily (and for free) before class begins.

  • What is the enrollment process like? Is there an application for this course?

    There is no application. To enroll in the Introduction to Data Engineering course, click here. Just be sure to do so by the deadline, which is 8pm ET on the Friday before the course start date. This deadline ensures that we can send students the information they’ll need to login and start class on day one.

  • Are there payment options for this course? How much is tuition?

    Tuition for the Introduction to Data Engineering course is $3,500. Students pay for the course in full upon enrolling.
