Are you ready to have a quick dive into the Hydrogen hype? Are you looking to improve your energy data management skills?
After a successful partnership that allowed 20 members of the UT Austin Portugal’s community in Portugal to attend online advanced training on Hydrogen, the Texas Engineering Executive Education of the Cockrell School of Engineering (TxEEE) and the UT Austin Portugal Program are partnering again to provide researchers/entrepreneurs/industry professionals based in Portugal another opportunity to attend online advanced training on the Energy field.
This time around, there are two online courses available: “Too Big to Excel: Energy Data Analytics” and a new edition of “Hydrogen – Why the hype? Opportunities, Challenges and Recent Trends“. More information about both courses can be found below.
Tuition fees for participants primarily affiliated with Portuguese institutions will not be charged as they will be covered by the UT Austin Portugal Program’s budget at UT Austin.
Registrations are closed.
Registration Form
Seats will be assigned on a first-come-first-serve approach. Participants without primary affiliation to Portuguese institutions will not be accepted into the course.
This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to expand your knowledge about Hydrogen and its versatility and how to analyze and make sense of large datasets on the Energy field.
Too Big to Excel: Energy Data Analytics
General Information
TxEEE is hosting “Too Big to Excel: Energy Data Analytics” through November 8 to November 10, in three two-hour sessions. This three-day short course is for energy and policy professionals, and business professionals from various industries, seeking an understanding of how to analyze and make sense of large datasets. Course content will include Python basics, using and utilizing Github, how to use Artificial Intelligence resources for developing code, Geospatial analysis using Python and other energy data analytics topics.
Delivered through a combination of lectures, discussion and hands-on practicums, participants will acquire a comprehensive grasp of Python’s capabilities for data analysis. Moreover, they will delve into contemporary engineering approaches in relation to data analysis and coding with a focus on energy datasets.
- Date: November 8 to November 10, 2023 | 4 p.m. – 6 p.m. (Lisbon Time)
