AWS Academy @ Western Sydney University
The School of Computer, Data and Mathematical Sciences has a partnership with AWS Academy for the delivery of AWS Academy curriculum as part of our cloud computing-related subjects. The advantage of the program is that, in addition to rigorous fundamental aspects of cloud computing expected of subjects at bachelor and master levels, students learn practical aspects of the concepts and technologies in the context of AWS that prepare them to AWS certifications. Students also utilize AWS services in all the practical activities, ensuring an authentic learning experience that has direct application in the workplace. Alumni of our AWS Academy subjects achieved the relevant AWS certifications and are employed in many IT companies where the skills learned as part of the program are utilized.
The subjects that are part of the program are listed below. These subjects are developed, coordinated, and delivered by the SDC Lab members that hold the relevant AWS certifications and are accredited to deliver AWS Academy programs.
Current Subjects
As part of the SDC Lab teaching and engagement activities, new content and materials have been developed for the application of Cloud computing and Machine Learning using AWS DeepRacer.
This is the list of useful tutorials and documents to start and develop models for DeepRacer:
- Part-1: Introduction to AWS DeepRacer
- Part-2: AWS DeepRacer Models For Beginners
- Part-3: Samples of Reward Functions for AWS DeepRacer
This is a useful repository contains practical recommendations and models to improve the performance of DeepRacer on physical track:
