Courses offer a convenient, yet rigorous style of learning that allows you to structure your education to suit your schedule while keeping you on pace toward achieving your educational.
Online Fixed-Date: Online fixed-date courses offer a convenient, yet rigorous style of learning that enables you to collaborate with your instructor and other students in a shared, online learning environment. These courses have fixed start and finish dates, but as an online student you will have 24/7 online access to your classroom assignments, syllabus and course resources. Our online fixed-date courses allow you to work on your assignments anytime, although you are required to complete the assignments by specific dates.
How is the learning structured? In an online fixed-date course, you and your classmates will proceed through the curriculum together, collaborating in a shared learning experience. 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 completed PDE-X800 Data Engineering Fundamentals prior to enrolling in PDE-X801 Practical Data Extraction. Students should also have familiarity with basic programming fundamental concepts such as Python, SQL, etc. However, no prior professional experience in data engineering is required.
Practical Data Extraction is worth two (2) graduate level credits or Continuing Education Units (CEUs). It is part of the Practical Data Engineering Certificate program.
Upon successful completion of Practical Data Extraction, you will be able to develop data engineering pipelines and understand how to implement them in the real world. You will also learn how to leverage automation and continuous improvement methodology within data engineering solutions.
