Catalog Description
ENGR 1166 - Provides an in depth study of the Google cloud platform.
We will be focusing on learning various aspects of the google cloud using
small assignments related to cloud concepts. The class format is based
upon the first half lecture then the second half hands on workshop.
The environment is hosted at cloud.google.com.
$300 of cloud services is budgeted for each student by google. A credit card is needed to get google credit. Students will not be spending the entire
$300 google credit so no costs should be incurred.

be able to develop applications on the google cloud. The concepts will
include virtual machines, NoSQL, Document Storage, Linux,
