Sneak-Peek of the Data Science & Engineering Curriculum
Database systems (SQL and NoSQL). Data engineers must know how to manipulate database management systems (DBMS), which is a software application that provides an interface to databases for information storage and retrieval.
Data warehousing solutions. Data warehouses store huge volumes of current and historical data for query and analysis. Most employers expect entry-level engineers to be familiar with a cloud services platform (Amazon Web Services) that provides a whole ecosystem of data storage tools.
ETL tools. ETL (Extract, Transfer, Load) pulls data from various sources, applies certain rules to the data according to business requirements, and then loads the transformed data into a database or business intelligence platform so it can be used and viewed by anyone in the organization.
Machine learning. Machine learning algorithms help data scientists make predictions based on current and historical data. Data engineers only need a basic knowledge of machine learning as it enables them to understand a data scientist’s needs better, get models into production and build more accurate data pipelines.
Data APIs. An API is an interface used by software applications to access data. It allows two applications or machines to communicate with each other for a specified task. Data engineers build APIs in databases to enable data scientists and business intelligence analysts to query the data.
Understanding the basics of distributed systems. Hadoop fluency is one of the most important data engineer skills. Apache Spark is a framework that allows for the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of computers using simple programming models. Apache Spark is the most widely used programming tool in data science and Data Engineering.
Knowledge of algorithms and data structures. Data engineers focus mostly on data filtering and data optimization, but a basic knowledge of algorithms is helpful for understanding the big picture of the organization’s overall data function, as well as define checkpoints and end goals for the business problem at hand.

What does it take to become a TDI-certified data engineer?
We’ll ask you all the usual questions about your education and work experience and other details that help us determine if you meet the basic qualifications for the program.
You must have at least one of the following:
- A Master’s degree completed before the program begins
- A PhD degree completed before the program begins
- A PhD degree that will be completed within 3 months of the conclusion of the program
- A Bachelor’s degree and extensive experience in a data-related position
We highly encourage you to apply by the early decision date. We view applications on a first come, first served basis, and the sooner you get yours in, the better chance you have of moving forward and earning money off your tuition.
We do not currently provide sponsorship or work authorization for International students and our tuition support and financing options are only available for students that reside in the US.
Once you’ve completed your application, you’ll move into the interview.
After you apply, we’ll contact the most promising candidates to set up a time for an online interview with our instructors and staff.
If you are advanced to the next and final round, you will be invited to complete an optional technical assessment/coding challenge.
Those who show the most promise during the entire application process may be awarded one of our limited tuition-free spots—so put your best foot forward. Tell us why you think you’re the right candidate for the program.
Check out this handy infographic to get some of our best tips and tricks for doing well during your interview.
Tuition-free spots are limited, but that’s not the only way to attend our program. We now offer income-sharing agreements, which allow you to pay your tuition after you’ve secured a job and are earning more than $40,000 per year. Check out the details.
If you’re looking to apply for one of our limited tuition-free waivers, you’ll need to submit a skills challenge. If you’d prefer to skip the challenge and just apply as a regular paid student, you may do so.
This coding challenge is designed for you to show off your current abilities. You’ll get 72 hours to complete the challenge once you start, so make sure you’re prepared to give it your all. The challenge will close for all applicants after the application closes regardless of the time you have left.
Keep in mind: You don’t have to finish all of the challenges, but you do need to do as much as you can. We look at the quality of your work as well as the quantity. And make sure you save as you go. You can come back and continue your work during those 72 hours, but the last time you save is the version we’ll look at.
