What You Will Learn
Prerequisites and Requirements
All learners are welcome to take the foundations course, but familiarity with basic mathematical concepts such as calculation, average, variance, and beginning level programming (preferably Python) is recommended to fully engage in all of the coursework. If you want to brush up on your Python skills, we encourage you to review our free Introduction to Python course.
We encourage you to dive deeper in to machine learning with our Intro to Machine Learning and Intro to Deep Learning with PyTorch courses.
You may also find our Version Control with Git course helpful. It is also offered for free.
See the Technology Requirements for using Udacity.
Why Take This Course
Machine learning is expected to transform virtually every industry and customer experience we know today. However, there is a shortage of trained and experienced ML developers. Of 23 million developers worldwide, only 1.3% (300,000) have AI/ML expertise, and by 2022 it is predicted there will be 58 million AI/ML jobs, further deepening this talent shortage.
Upon completion of the course, learners will have a strong foundation in object-oriented programming and an introduction to key AWS machine learning technologies, which is a great start on the path towards becoming a Machine Learning Engineer.
