About this Professional Certificate
Organizations today have access to more data than ever before. The sheer volume of data, coupled with the need to derive meaningful insights, has created a high demand for Data Engineers.
Data Engineers are crucial in managing and optimizing data systems, enabling businesses to leverage data for informed decision-making. To succeed in this role, data engineers need a diverse skill set to build and streamline data systems, ensuring data is accessible for analysis. This Professional Certificate program equips you with the skills needed to start your career as an entry-level data engineer.
By the end, you will have hands-on experience working with cloud-based relational databases (RDBMS), NoSQL data stores, Python, Bash, SQL, Big Data, and tools like Apache Hadoop and Spark for processing large datasets. You’ll also gain expertise in ETL processes, building data pipelines, using tools like Apache Kafka and Airflow, designing data warehouses, and using business intelligence tools. Throughout the program, you’ll engage in hands-on labs and projects, culminating in a Capstone project where you’ll demonstrate your practical abilities as a Data Engineer.

After completing this professional certificate, you will be able to:
- Explain the essential concepts, processes, tools, and technologies involved in data engineering.
- Showcase your understanding of RDBMS fundamentals, including database design, schema creation, table management, administration, security, and working with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and IBM Db2.
- Demonstrate proficiency in SQL, including the use of SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements, along with database functions, stored procedures, multi-table operations, JOINs, and transactions.
- Illustrate your knowledge of NoSQL and big data technologies, and gain practical experience with MongoDB, Cassandra, IBM Cloudant, Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark, SparkSQL, SparkML, and Spark Streaming.
- Explain the use of ETL tools and data pipeline creation using Python, Linux shell scripts, Apache Airflow, and Apache Kafka.
- Describe the structure and purpose of Data Lakes, Data Marts, and Enterprise Data Warehouses (EDW), and design them using Star and Snowflake schemas.
- Design and populate Data Warehouses, then analyze the data using Business Intelligence (BI) tools such as Cognos Analytics.
