The main goal of the Data Engineering course is threefold.
Firstly, students will learn the fundamental principles and techniques underpinning off-line data engineering and integration. This involves data modeling with ER/relational models, object data models, NoSQL data models, and integration techniques to synthesize them.
Secondly, students will learn the basic principles and mechanisms to develop run-time data integration, storage and processing. This includes: distributed (cloud) computing, distributed database architectures, batch/stream processing, complex event processing, and runtime data integration.
Lastly, at the end of this course, course participants will be able to judge from an architectural (conceptual) and implementation perspective, when which off- or/and online solution suits best to address particular practical challenges.
