15 Best Feature Engineering Courses on Coursera
Feature engineering is the process of preparing raw data so that machine learning models can use it effectively. It involves selecting, transforming, and creating variables that capture the underlying patterns in a dataset. On this page you will find a selection of Coursera courses that cover the fundamentals of feature engineering, data preparation, and related topics such as SQL for data science and rapid prototyping with cloud tools.
The courses are listed in our own ranking and vary in focus, provider, and price. Prices range from $49.00 to $99.00, and each course is offered by a recognised institution or company, including IBM, Google, the University of California, Davis and others. Choose a course that matches your current skill level and the specific tools or platforms you plan to work with.

How these 15 courses were chosen
Every course below is a real, currently listed course from Coursera, matched to "feature engineering" by our catalog and ordered by our CourseAsk score. Courses whose own title names the topic rank above those only tagged with it.
The grade on each entry scores how much the provider publishes about the course before you pay — the length and detail of the description, whether it lists learning outcomes and objectives — and whether a named university or institution stands behind it. A is fully documented and institution-backed; E is little more than a title and a price. Courses with almost nothing published are left ungraded rather than marked down, because an unknown course and a poor one are not the same thing.
There are no star ratings on this page — the course feeds we license do not include them, and we would rather leave a column out than fill it with a number we cannot stand behind. What we do have is price: these range from $49.00 to $99.00, as listed by the provider when we last updated the page.

Best Feature Engineering Courses on Coursera compared
Prices shown are the provider's listed price when we last updated this page. Confirm on their site before enrolling.
What the prices here tell you
The 15 priced courses on this page run from $49.00 to $99.00, with the middle of the range around $49.00 — a spread of $50.00. The options are closely priced, so cost is unlikely to be your deciding factor. A higher price on this page usually reflects who is behind the course rather than how much material it contains, so it is worth opening two or three at different price points and comparing their syllabus before deciding.
Who is behind these courses
These courses come from Coursera. Everything on this page is sold on the one platform, so the buying experience is the same whichever you pick. 5 of these are produced by a named university or institution, including IBM, Google and Corporate Finance Institute — which usually means a fixed syllabus and a recognised certificate, rather than an individual instructor’s own course.
Before you enrol
Open the provider’s own page and check three things this comparison cannot tell you: when the course was last updated, what the syllabus actually covers in its later sections, and what recent learners say. Prices shown here are the provider’s listed price when we last rebuilt this page on 18 September 2026 — they change often, and a promotion can move them substantially. We earn a commission if you enrol through our links, which costs you nothing and never affects the order courses appear in.
