Google certified trainers will teach the course. Students will gain hands-on experience through Google Cloud Skills Boost, which provides access to more than 700 hands-on labs, role-based courses and skill badges. 

 Lovely Professional University (LPU) has collaborated with Google Cloud India to launch a new course, BTech in Computer Science Engineering (CSE) Cloud Computing.  Students with little to no background or experience in cloud computing can apply for the four-year course. They will be taught the fundamentals of cloud infrastructure on Google Cloud, big data and machine learning. 

“Cloud computing is increasingly becoming a sought-after career choice in IT as more companies of all sizes adopt the cloud to help overcome technology challenges and achieve their business goals. With a thorough understanding of cloud architecture and Google Cloud, students can design, develop, and manage robust, scalable, and dynamic solutions to drive business objectives,” said a release issued by LPU.  

LPU and Google Cloud have jointly designed the curriculum. The course will explore cutting-edge cloud-enabled technologies on Google Cloud’s flexible infrastructure and platform services and will derive insights from data using the analysis and visualisation tools on Google Cloud, the release said. 

The curriculum will introduce students to cloud technology through concepts, hands-on labs, assessments and certifications on topics ranging from Cloud basics, big data, and machine learning, Google Cloud’s flexible infrastructure and platform services, deriving insights from data using the analysis and visualisation tools on Google Cloud, designing, developing, and deploying applications that seamlessly integrate components from the Google Cloud ecosystem. 

Google certified trainers will teach the course. Students will also gain hands-on experience through Google Cloud Skills Boost which provides access to more than 700 hands-on labs, role-based courses, skill badges, and certification resources featuring Google’s most in-demand training, including content such as Getting Started with Google Kubernetes Engine, How Google Does Machine Learning, Preparing for the Professional Cloud Architect Certification Exam, and more.
