Syllabus
Four modules, twelve lessons. Every lesson states what it covers and the evidence you produce for it.
1Temporal data3 lessons · 6 h
- M03.01
Time and sampling
120 minInspect timestamps, time zones and irregular intervals.
Evidence: A cleaned timeline retains an audit of dropped or repaired points.
- M03.02
Resampling and missingness
120 minAggregate sensor streams without filling across invalid gaps.
Evidence: A gap policy passes supplied edge cases.
- M03.03
Temporal leakage
120 minSplit by time and respect asset boundaries where required.
Evidence: A diagram shows prediction horizon and feature availability.
2Forecasting3 lessons · 6 h
- M03.04
Naive forecasts
120 minBuild last-value and seasonal baselines.
Evidence: Forecast error is reported over a held-out future window.
- M03.05
Feature engineering
120 minCreate lag and rolling features using past values only.
Evidence: Unit tests verify no future observations enter any feature.
- M03.06
Forecasting models
120 minCompare a statistical or regression model with the baseline.
Evidence: Rolling-origin evaluation supports the comparison.
3Anomalies3 lessons · 6 h
- M03.07
Anomaly detection
120 minCompare rule limits and an unsupervised detector.
Evidence: Anomaly scores and review assumptions are explicitly documented.
- M03.08
Failure prediction
120 minEstimate event risk where reliable labels exist.
Evidence: A label definition distinguishes censored data and confirmed failures.
- M03.09
Alert thresholds
120 minTune persistence and suppression rules for noisy signals.
Evidence: An alert simulation reports missed events and alerts per asset.
4Operational alerts3 lessons · 6 h
- M03.10
Root cause investigation
120 minCombine signals and maintenance notes without claiming causation.
Evidence: A diagnostic narrative separates evidence from hypotheses.
- M03.11
Streaming simulation
120 minReplay events through an alert pipeline.
Evidence: Late events and reconnects do not create duplicate alerts.
- M03.12
Maintenance handover
120 minDefine triage, escalation and feedback capture.
Evidence: A runbook links alert severity to an accountable human response.
Capstone
Predict or detect equipment anomalies from time-stamped sensor data and design an alert policy that controls false alarms and documents response ownership.

Lab infrastructure is not yet provisioned, so this describes the environment the course is designed for rather than one you can launch today.
