But considering AI is the new technological era we are in now, I did not want to miss the bus like I did for bitcoins when they first came out. But then, as the program began, I hoped I could integrate AI with my current engineering skills to provide unparallel engineering solutions to complex real life applications in general and to engineering issues in particular. As a Control Engineer, I plan to utilize the AI training to upgrade or improve the current control loops (PID) performances out there in the industry. I am now very pleased with myself for taking the course as I discovered throughout the program that AI applies to all industries, not just manufacturing or R&D (where I have practiced so far) like I had anticipated.Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

Before making my decision, I researched many private courses and programs at other universities. I can tell you that this is the most comprehensive and balanced program at a competitive fee. At others schools, you get a third of the material from this course for the same price. Another important factor is the excellent reputation of Columbia University as one of the most prestigious universities not only in the US but the world. This translates into the quality of its educational programs and teaching staff. Also, this certificate program allows one to attend classes in the evening so as not to interfere with one’s job. It’s very convenient for those working individuals who want to further develop their UX/UI skills or change their profession altogether.
Why did I choose the UX/UI Design program? I have a degree in web design, programming, and computer graphics. However, I did very little work in this area, more often as a freelancer, as this was not my main job. I received my diploma 10 years ago and a lot of what I learned then became outdated. Back then there wasn’t even a concept of UX/ UI. I decided to go back to doing UX/UI as I feel that this is an area I can excel in. Knowing what I needed to learn for my future job made it easier for me to choose this course. I advise anyone who wants to change their profession and doesn’t know where to start to sign up for Columbia Engineering UX/UI Boot Camp. I can assure you for sure that you will get a good starting base knowledge of UX/UI. During the course, you will create a personal portfolio which is not so easy to do on your own, especially if you are not familiar with web design and user research. I highly recommend Columbia Engineering UX/UI Boot Camp course!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0Boot Camp Team of Columbia Engineering Boot Camps

I would highly recommend Columbia Bootcamp for prospective students and I would advise them to make use of all the available resources presented to them. Considering the intense pace of the Program, I would also advise them to form study groups and attend office hours to make things easier and enjoyable.

The past 3 months it was a great learning experience for me because- Excellent instructors. Our instructor Ben encouraged and supported us a lot. He explained each concept really well and after that made sure everyone understood that topic. Max (our T.A. ) is also a dedicated instructor. Both of them were available during and after office hours when we had questions. I appreciated their patience and dedication. We were lucky to have them as our instructors.
- During this course, we learned 20+ concepts, that are essential and advanced in web development. We got experience in working on group projects. To those who are planning to join this course:- Every week I spend an average of 50+ hours (including attending class). Still, it was exciting for me to attend the class every morning. I strongly believe the time I spend and hard work is worth enough.
- I just started to use the career service. So I think it is too early to rate their service. But the feedback I got about my career material was really helpful.
- The support I got from AskBcs and our SSM was also great.

I had some (self-taught) exposure to HTML and CSS before, but otherwise these technologies and skills were totally new to me. I'm amazed at how much I learned including HOW to learn different languages and tools. I feel set up to continue learning on my own.
My instructor and TA were incredible - super supportive and knowledgable. They ensured that we grasped a concept before moving on, were available to help with any and all questions (even well beyond office hours), and were just great people. I was excited to wake up and join class each morning, learn, problem solve, and work with my classmates. And I'm genuinely sad that I'm not waking up to do that now!
Some tips/opinions:- You will need to dedicate a significant amount of time outside of class hours to assignments, practice material, and continued learning. I think they recommend 20 hours/week, but as the pace of the course picks up, I ended up wanting/needing to spend more time than that to make sure I was grasping the material.
- You need to participate and be involved to get the most out of this. Be willing to be wrong or ask questions you think are stupid. Someone else is probably wondering the same thing.
- Take advantage of the resources offered to you. Schedule tutoring sessions even if you don't think you need it and get in the habit of doing it weekly early on.
- I personally am glad I chose to do the full time program because it kept me focused. I would have had a hard time picking it up and putting it down over a longer timeframe.
- I honestly didn't have much time to devote to career services while in the program, but am utilizing their services now after my graduation. I'd recommend trying to carve out time for this earlier in the program to get a jump start on your resume, etc. (especially if you are switching careers!)
Overall, I definitely recommend this bootcamp as long as you are willing to put in the work and dedicate the time.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0Boot Camp Team of Columbia Engineering Boot Camps

Though I had a MCSE (Microsoft Certified System Engineering), Data Analytics was totally a new playing field. The class was fast pace, and challenging but with their amazing educational support system (i.e TA, Slack, and 24/7 AskBCS) I'd always catch up to lessons. There were moments I almost quit, then I will remind myself why I started and imagine the light at the end of the tunnel, this will kick in a resilient spirit to keep pushing. My intention was to develop cutting edge skill set to shift my career into the tech industry, have a flexible schedule, like remote role, since I'm more creative working in different scenery - two months into this boot-camp I landed a (tvc) 'remote' role @ Google, with an app release team.
Columbia Engineering boot-camp provided me the ability to understand strategic tech industry programing languages (HTML, MySQL, JAVA Scrip, CSS, R, MongoDB, Python and more), they’ve helped me ramp up expeditiously at my role, understand my work environment to consistently improve - I'm confident at work while I strive on making quality contribution. Lastly, coding made it into my fun list with the likes of: boxing, traveling, dancing and more.

Fast forwarding to now, the Columbia Full Stack Bootcamp has been a life-changing and educational experience. To begin, the instructors that taught us were relentless in making sure we were able to understand the subject before moving on to the next. The instructors played a vital role such as simply making the topics not boring or mundane and making the activities as fun as possible as they could be. The course was very fast-paced, potentially if you lost any focus you could miss something vital; luckily the instructors would make sure that every student would be on the same page before continuing. One qualm I had with the course is the tutors, it seemed like they were also at a beginner level of coding and were not as useful. Fellow cohorts of the full stack Bootcamp were amazing as well, it seemed like we were all on the same team and no one would hesitate to reach out to one another for help. I would like to say that classmates were more helpful than scheduling a tutor, unfortunately, but they did try their best. Office hours prior to and after class were the best. During those times, the instructors would create applications or etc using whatever language we were learning during that week; it helped us to click in our minds what we learned. The instructors also used office hours to give us 1 on 1 help, which I am very grateful for; just overall the instructors were available practically the entire day, so there was always a chance for you to get help whenever you would need it. Ultimately, the Bootcamp was a great choice and I am proud I was able to get through the long 3 months. Now if anyone asks me about coding or anything web related, I can go on and on for hours explaining the nuances and complexities of how an e-commerce website works, what PWAs are, or just plainly talking about how the MERN stack works etc.Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0Boot Camp Team of Columbia Engineering Boot Camps

It was fast paced since we had to cover a huge amount of material in the span of 6 months but the support from the TA's, teachers, and peers were unmatched. The focus of these classes were on key concepts and the "how" on cybersecurity and it's tools. Now that I am actually in the field I realized that some of the tools, protocols and conversations were a little bit behind the times. Tools like metasploit, wireshark, Splunk and Autopsy are still used today but what we learned for Splunk just scratched the surface compared to what was asked of me for entry level positions at different organizations during interviews. I also wished we could have utilized different cloud modules like AWS or GCP or gain more exposure to coding with Python but I understand that this bootcamp was focused on getting a student started on the cybersecurity path. It gave enough exposure to each of the core cybersecurity modules and students are highly encouraged to pick a module to pursue further education on after classes are completed. I recommend utilizing all the resources you can get from the class, connect with your peers or teams on linkedin and find a module that peaks your interest to later sign up for additional classes through udemy, pluralsite or cybery, etc. It is not enough to just complete the class if you are pursuing a career in cybersecurity but it was great start to becoming a well rounded, educated, cybersecurity professional.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support3.0Instructors5.0Boot Camp Team of Columbia Engineering Boot Camps

Coming from a general background in computer science, I spent 10 years working in database management systems. The evolution of the industry leads me to move towards Big Data and the Cloud. Looking for which university to acquire this training, I read on a Columbia University spot: "BIG DATA NEEDS BIG PROTECTION". Why not focus on security?
We are all threatened, from the individual to the government. How to invest in tools that protect personal information, economic costs, reputational costs, and other sensitives information of organizations that are now stored in cloud.Getting out of my comfort and attending Columbia Engineering Cybersecurity Bootcamp was one of the best decisions I ever made. The Boot Camp was online and the class times matched with my availability. I learned about an area of the industry that I was unaware of, data security. The teachers and assistants have the relevant knowledge. This boot camp requires the availability of the student to get the best out of himself. The program is rich and the activities include practical and real case studies. The professors and advisors listen to the students and push them in their learning to be employer-ready then employer-competitive.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0Boot Camp Team of Columbia Engineering Boot Camps
