It doesn't matter if it is F1 racing or NASCAR, any kind of high-end motor racing uses some sort of <a href="http://eKnow.com" rel="nofollow"> data acquisition</a>. I don't know why people aren't getting into the data business. It seems to me that it is a job that is always hiring. I know that from a business standpoint, it is also important. Managers want to know how much profit was gained or lost. It's important to know the details of where you will be working.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1968381915422016850.post-82852333266149552112014-09-15T21:52:39.008-04:002014-09-15T21:52:39.008-04:00Thank you, SK.

Not saying it doesn't exist, I'm just not aware of it. However, I suggest any type of mathematics/statistics degrees coupled with mechanical engineering (as I have) will help you work toward that goal. From there, just putting your hat out to work with small teams (initially as a volunteer, and for expenses -- an apprentice or intern, if you will) helps toward your goal.<br /><br />And, given the personalities you'd be working with, brushing up on the people skills is an absolute must, with skills in public speaking a major plus.GregAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18007558470256950003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1968381915422016850.post-24644277539937415112014-09-14T10:02:19.520-04:002014-09-14T10:02:19.520-04:00Awesome article Greg.

Are there any specific universities (masters studies) from where teams look to hire data engineers, given that they have become an absolute necessity nowadays ?
