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

Placement training is an integral part of the department’s curriculum in the college, aimed at preparing Artificial Intelligence and Data Science students for the competitive job market. The AD department organizes comprehensive workshops and seminars to enhance students’ employability skills. These sessions cover various aspects such as resume writing, interview techniques, and professional etiquette. The college also invites industry experts and professionals to conduct mock interviews and provide valuable feedback to students. Additionally, the department facilitates internships and industry collaborations to expose students to real-world scenarios and foster practical knowledge. The ultimate goal of placement training is to ensure that students are well-equipped and confident to secure lucrative job opportunities upon graduation.
