About the Course

This self-paced, hands-on capstone project allows students to apply their data engineering skills to build a complete, end-to-end solution, such as an ELT warehouse, ETL pipeline on Azure, or a Delta Lakehouse.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Design scalable solutions: Define project requirements and create robust data engineering architectures using ELT, ETL, or Lakehouse patterns.
  • Build and deploy pipelines: Develop end-to-end data pipelines with Azure Data Factory, Databricks, and Spark for efficient data ingestion, transformation, and storage.
  • Incorporate machine learning: Integrate basic ML components (e.g., NLP models) into pipelines to enable data-driven insights and automation.
  • Present project outcomes: Prepare and deliver professional presentations showcasing technical decisions, challenges, and business impact.

Curriculum

  • Chapter 1: Project Description

    Students get introduced to the capstone project, understand objectives, and explore the datasets they will work with. They follow structured steps to plan and prepare their solutions.

    Topics:

    • General project overview and scope
    • Data overview and source guidelines
      • Step 1: Azure Data Factory pipeline creation
      • Step 2: Databricks mount storage container
      • Step 3: Train machine learning model
      • Step 4: NLP prediction
      • Step 5: Create Synapse analytics environment
  • Chapter 2: Project Solution

    Overview:

    Students access sample code and solution walkthrough videos to understand implementation best practices, while still completing the project independently.

    Topics:

    • Reference code for pipelines and ML integration
