Data Engineers design systems that gather, store and present data for critical decision-making and further analysis. While there are several software tools to set up data systems, the dynamic nature of the data landscape necessitates that Data Engineers possess an in-depth understanding of fundamental concepts and agile processes. In this subject, students will acquire a foundational understanding of key data engineering concepts, enabling them to design and construct robust data systems. Every facet of the data engineering lifecycle will be meticulously explored, providing students with hands-on exposure to state of the art data software systems. Additionally, students will delve into essential topics such as data security, ethics, and data ownership.
