About the Department
Established in 2020 with an initial intake of 60 students, the Department of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science offers a graduate program that has been approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and is affiliated with APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University (KTU). The department is equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure and possesses a well-qualified, experienced, and dedicated faculty team.
The department’s success is attributed to the innovative and creative outlook of its students, who actively participate in co-curricular activities, such as IEEE,and extra-curricular activities, such as sports and social events, throughout the academic year. The department also facilitates technology-enabled learning,with students actively participating in NPTEL and coding/project competitions across the country.
To achieve excellence in artificial intelligence and data science to cater the ever-changing industrial and socio-economic needs.
- To provide high-quality and value-based technical education in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science program.
- To establish an infrastructure fostering industry-institute interaction in order to meet global expectations and requirements.
- To empower students to become globally competent and effective problem-solvers to develop entrepreneurial skills and higher studies.
PROGRAM DETAILS
Artificial Intelligence and Data Science
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science (DS) are distinct but complementary fields that have become increasingly important in recent years.AI involves creating machines that can simulate human intelligence processes, while DS focuses on extracting meaningful information from data to solve real-world problems. Together, AI and DS comprise a new interdisciplinary field that draws on various domains, such as engineering science, statistics, cognitive science, computing, health science, and information science.
Students in this field learn how to design and implement AI and DS-based solutions for engineering and business problems, including machine learning, data visualization, semantic web and social network analytics, blockchain technologies, and data security and privacy.
Big data solutions have changed the way in which business models are built and run. This program is ideal for those looking to develop intelligent engineering systems and business solutions in the age of big data.
PROFESSIONAL SOCIETIES AND ASSOCIATIONS
THE INSTITUTE OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS (IEEE)
IEEE opens the door to opportunities that will help students to develop their professional identity in IEEE’s designated fields of interest: sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). In addition to accessing a range of membership benefits, students will make global connections with people who can help students along their targeted career path through IEEE’s international community of members and volunteers.
ADSA (Artificial intelligence and Data Science Students Association)
The Department of Artificial intelligence and Data has science is a newly involved department of this Institution. Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another. Commemorating the quote of a famous American civil rights activist, “A word as to the education of the heart, we don’t believe that this can be imparted through books, it can only be imparted through the loving touch of the teacher”, ADSA was proposed with the objective to organize various activities that consists of drawing the goodness and best out of our own students under the guidance of the well trained faculty members of the department.
INITIATIVES BEYOND THE CLASS ROOM
Mentor System
Each faculty member in the department is assigned the complete responsibility of 30 students. This Faculty Mentor establishes a close relationship with students, orients them to college practices, follows their progress regularly and guides them throughout the four-year course. Employment of this idea has helped several students to solve the problems they face in the academics. Also this method helps the parents to keep track of their child and their academic performance.
Remedial Education
The students with backlogs have a heavy load as they must take exams simultaneously for both the new semester’s subjects as well as for the subjects they fail; and they cannot attend classes in the subjects they have failed. Thus, they do not get any additional teaching in the subjects in which they are weak unless they resort to coaching classes or other private means. This may in turn result in cumulative failures, leading some students to take more years to complete the four-year engineering course. To help our students from such situations, remedial classes are provided by the AI & DS department during the month before the repeat exams, enabling the students to face the difficult papers with greater confidence and ease.
Placement Training
Department offers intense placement training on regular basis.
LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Learning Management System (LMS) designed to complement classroom instruction and engage students in online activities , assignments and discussions, examinations, wikies that allow for deeper participation inside and outside the classroom. Visit Here
NPTEL Local chapterNPTEL Local chapter
NPTEL is the largest repository of online courses in Engineering, Science & Humanities from India’s best Institutes. Students can experience class room like learning from the experts. SJCET Palai is now a Local Chapter of NPTEL. The students of SJCET can access all the courses of NPTEL even without an Internet connection. More than 350 + courses on Engineering, Science & Technology is available locally at SJCET Palai Server. The students can apply for scholarships provided by companies like Aricent. The students who pass the examination are also eligible for a certificate from reputed IIT’s.
Coursera Campus Response Initiative
Coursera’s mission is to transform lives through learning. To help minimize the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak on students, the Coursera community is launching a global effort to assist universities and colleges to deliver courseware online. SJCET has joined in this initiative. Now our students can access 3,800 courses and 400 Specializations in Coursera absolutely free of cost.
