Thanks for the response; I'm definitely applying to the Data Engineers program. My engineering background has been more on-the-job than from formal coursework, so I was a bit subdued by list of engineering disciplines in the "Accepting Applicants From" section (though I now see "Scientific Research" as one of the fields, yay!). I really hope I can participate.

Great to hear. We love skills learned on-the-job. That list is just meant to cast a wide net, so people feel welcome to apply from various backgrounds. The main take-away is that we want people who have the right fundamental skill set, and are not too concerned about which formal discipline they learned it under.
