Top 10 Data Engineering Courses
“Data is the new oil. It’s valuable, but if unrefined, it cannot really be used,” said Clive Humby, Principal, H&D Advisory and Visiting Professor, Data Science, University of Sheffield. Data scientists analyse data with the help of mathematics, statistics and machine learning techniques.  But a typical data scientist does not have in-depth knowledge of how to model data for interpretation. Here’s where data engineers come into play. Data engineers design and set up analytics databases and data pipelines to transform data in a format that enables data scientists to use it readily.
