    • Overview of data storage and retrieval tasks:
      • Storage system architecture and performance measurement
      • Scale issues and tools for various scales:  Files, spreadsheets, database, cloud systems
    • File data manipulation using Unix scripts and Python
    • Query and basic data manipulation using SQL
    • Extract/Transform/Load process; simple data loads
    • Introduction to data loading and data manipulation in R
    • Data summarization:  R, SQL
  • CS 59000DEII - Data Engineering II
    • Role and Importance of Data Quality:
      • Data quality concepts; Tools for enforcing data integrity/quality (e.g., constraints);
