ChatGPT for Data Engineers

Data Engineering is evolving at lightning speed—and Generative AI is reshaping the way engineers build, optimize, and manage data systems. ChatGPT is not just a chatbot; it’s a productivity amplifier, a coding assistant, and a knowledge partner that can help you accelerate data engineering tasks, automate documentation, and simplify complex workflows.
This course, ChatGPT for Data Engineers, is designed to give you hands-on skills in applying ChatGPT and Large Language Models (LLMs) to real-world data engineering challenges. Whether you are writing SQL queries, debugging ETL pipelines, creating Airflow DAGs, or generating project documentation, ChatGPT can act as your co-pilot—saving time, improving quality, and enabling you to focus on solving higher-level engineering problems.
By the end of this course, you’ll not only understand how ChatGPT works, but also how to use it effectively in your day-to-day work as a data engineer. With practical examples, guided projects, and capstone assignments, you will gain confidence in leveraging AI responsibly in your professional workflows.
