BEng (Electrical and Electronic) with focus Data Engineering
What is data engineering?
Data Engineering contains all the tasks required to make data available for analysis, knowledge discovery and decision-making processes. The most important task of the data engineer is to develop and maintain an organization's data pipeline systems, and implement algorithms to transform data into a usable format for analysis. The tasks of a data engineer include data collection, data storage, data synchronization, data transformation, data cleaning, data management, and data model development.
What knowledge and skills does this programme equip one with?
The first part of the programme lays a basis of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences, with a significant emphasis on statistics and computer science. Students develop the engineering skills to create mathematical, physical, and statistical models of real systems, including data systems and artificial intelligence.
See the curriculum in our Calendar, page 30.
Job opportunities for electrical or electronic engineers that specialised in data engineering
Data engineers can work in any organisation that has complex systems and generates data. From corporations to consulting companies, from retail to renewables, from manufacturing to mining, and from finance to fashion.
