Certificate: offer the course certificate to those participants who pass the exam.

Dr. Hong’s class will introduce the basic concepts of programming in Python using the popular Jupyter Notebook, and the classes included some advanced functionality available in Python by demonstrating numpy, scipy, matplotlib, seaborn and pandas code. At the end of the course, Dr. Hong will give a very good introduction to artificial intelligence(AI). Class details are listed as below: 

* Class 1(3 hours) Installation of Anaconda Individual Edition, Python syntax, data types 

* Class 2(3 hours) Python Functions and help, lists, loops and conditionals 

* Class 3(3 hours) Python Function, Modules, and Numpy, Scipy and Pandas

This is a very helpful classes for people at beginner level. This course increases the awareness of Python, data analysis, any AI, and helps diversify Alberta’s economy in the future. For those who lost jobs or new graduates who could not find a job due to this pandemic, it is a great opportunity to open the door for them to the data analysis, data science and AI world.

This Course Certificate could be used not only for job search as a training experience but also counted as the Continuing Professional Development Hour (CPD) for Alberta Professional Engineers (P.Eng.) to keep their P.Eng. designation (CPD is a requirement to keep P.Eng).
