Lesson 1
Intro to Privacy Engineering in Software Applications
We introduce the need and importance of the topic, as well as some of the history behind privacy. We'll also take a look at the working environment as well as your final project.
Implementing Privacy in Software Applications
Course
This course is designed with two types of people in mind: 1) Engineers who hadn't really delved into privacy engineering, and 2) those who have only basic technical skills, but a strong interest in privacy engineering. We learn how the basic principles that privacy engineers follow when evaluating and building software. We'll look at some common legal requirements that privacy engineers must reckon with in many parts of the world and how to implement those requirements for your application or platform. As we go over privacy engineering for compliance, we'll learn that an essential step is to first identify, then track or catalog sensitive data within our system. And finally, we will learn how to manage and protect data using data minimization.

Lesson 2
Privacy Engineering Fundamentals
We will learn how to think like an actual privacy engineer and understand the basic principles that privacy engineers follow when evaluating and building software.
Lesson 3
Privacy Engineering for Compliance
We'll look at some common legal requirements that privacy engineers must reckon with in many parts of the world and how to implement those requirements for your application or platform.
Lesson 4
Tracking Sensitive Data
We'll learn that an essential step is to first identify, then track or catalog sensitive data within our system. We'll learn to write code to put these to practice.
Lesson 5
Data Minimization
We will learn how to manage and protect sensitive data while still making use of it within our applications and platforms, with a set of privacy engineering techniques.
Lesson 6 • Project
Designing a Privacy-Protective Voting-Booth Application
You will build an election voting privacy-protective app that that ensures the election results, while protecting ballot secrecy and the data associated with individual voters.
