Program Details
PROGRAM OVERVIEW - WHY SHOULD I TAKE THIS PROGRAM?
Why should I enroll?
As more and more companies are looking to build machine learning products, there is a growing demand for engineers who are able to deploy machine learning models to global audiences. In this program, you’ll learn how to create an end-to-end machine learning product. You’ll deploy machine learning models to a production environment, such as a web application, and evaluate and update that model according to performance metrics. This program is designed to give you the advanced skills you need to become a machine learning engineer.What jobs will this program prepare me for?
Students in the Machine Learning Engineer Nanodegree program will learn about machine learning algorithms and crucial deployment techniques, and will be equipped to fill roles at companies seeking machine learning engineers and specialists. These skills can also be applied in roles at companies that are looking for data scientists to introduce machine learning techniques into their organization.How do I know if this program is right for me?
This program assumes that you are familiar with common supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques. As such, it is geared towards people who are interested in building and deploying a machine learning product or application. Are you interested in deploying an application that is powered by machine learning? If so, then this program is right for you.
ENROLLMENT AND ADMISSION
Do I need to apply? What are the admission criteria?
No. This Nanodegree program accepts all applicants regardless of experience and specific background.What are the prerequisites for enrollment?
Intermediate Python programming knowledge, including:- At least 40hrs of programming experience
- Familiarity with data structures like dictionaries and lists
- Experience with libraries like NumPy and pandas
Intermediate knowledge of machine learning algorithms, including:- Supervised learning models, such as linear regression
- Unsupervised models, such as k-means clustering
