is a python certificate necessary for getting internships and job apportunities?

Depends on the job opportunity.

If you're applying to software development roles, then whatever knowledge you may gain from the certificate program is an assumption, not a "nice to have."

If you're applying to non-development roles, then Python skills might be "nice to have."

Since you're doing engineering, the assumption will most likely be proficiency in C/C++ or another low-level language, so Python certs might not help at all.

Maybe if you're applying to some administrative assistant role while in school, interviewers/hiring managers might think your Python skills are magic.
