Data Engineering Internships
We partner with tech and data companies to design, staff, and deliver data engineering internship projects.
Our unique program structure helps offload much of the company's management overhead, by having students work during class and with additional instructor support.

Success Stories
Data Engineering Project
Code for Boston is a non-profit developing an analytics dashboard that tracks police complaints. It pulled data from an initial dataset and wanted to expand its sources of data, and then deploy and automate the ETL process.
Students used Python to pull and coerce data from various datasets, added tests to existing code, loaded data into an RDS database, and automated environmental setup using Docker.
Technologies used: Python, SQL, RDS, Docker, AWS
Analytics Engineering Project
Meltano is a data engineering startup that uses slack to provide customer support. It wanted to analyze the requests from customers, and assess responses to customers.
Students set up a data pipeline to collect data from Meltano’s slack channels, loaded data into Snowflake, and used DBT to categorize top customers questions, assess response times, and analyze resolution rates. Students used Airflow to automate the collection and analysis, and Superset to present findings. Students identified bugs in Singer Taps, and worked with the Meltano team to fix or work around them.
Technologies used: Python, SQL, Snowflake, DBT, Airflow, Superset
ML Pipeline Project
Bucephalus is a startup whose product performs predictive analytics for ecommerce merchants. The company needed to develop a data pipeline to pull data from Shopify into its machine learning model.
Students pulled shopify data into an Aurora database, and wrote analytics queries with SQLAlchemy. They productionized a ML model that served predictions using FastAPI, deployed on EC2, and dockerized it. They then stored predictions from the model in AWS S3.
Technologies used: Python, SQL, SQLAlchemy, Docker, AWS Aurora, EC2, S3, Meltano
