IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING - ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING (CSE - AI&ML)

Computer will overtake humans with Artificial Intelligence within the next 100 years.  When that happens, we need to make sure the computers have goals aligned with ours.  -Stephen Hawking

The four-year undergraduate programme, Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) in Computer Science and Engineering – Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (CSE-AI&ML) specialization will enable students to be ready for Industry 4.0 emerging and exponential technologies. CSE-AI&ML started with a sanctioned intake of 60 from the academic year 2020-2021. The Department has state of the art facilities, infrastructure and computing equipment supported by uninterrupted high-speed internet connection to fulfill the requirements of academics, supports research and learning skills to keep up with the state-of-the-art technological advances as per the industry requirement.

The department of Computer Science and Engineering has a vibrant faculty with 28 in number (5 Professors, 5 Associate Professors and 18 Assistant Professors).  Faculty with their vast Industrial and Teaching experience set the standards for the quality of education for approaching years. The department is also supported by Adjunct Faculty from Industry and Academia.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of Computer Science that focuses on creating intelligent machines that work as human beings and replicates intelligent behavior.

Example: In any scenario of online shopping, after picking up a certain product, interest/relevant products are automatically popped. There is no need for explicit rules; the system figures out the recommendations on its own. This is the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI), an intelligent system that can perform human-like tasks such as recommendations.

Machine Learning (ML), a sub area of AI, makes a machine to learn on its own without being explicitly programmed. It provides the system, an ability to automatically learn and advance from experience.

Example: Continuing the same scenario of online shopping, the system learns, to make recommendations by observing the products, purchasers are interested in. The more the system observes, the more it learns about their purchasing behaviour and provides better recommendations. The technology behind is Machine Learning.

Artificial Learning and Machine Learning (AI & ML) is an undergraduate programme with advanced learning solutions imparting knowledge of advanced innovations like machine learning, often called Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence.

The students shall explore the practical components of developing Artificial Intelligence applications and platforms. Proficiency in Mathematics will thrive, as this Bachelors’ degree requires strong problem-solving and analytical skills. They shall be able to acquire the ability to design intelligent solutions for various business problems in a variety of domains and business applications. The students shall be exploring fields such as neural networks, natural language processing, robotics, deep learning, computer vision, reasoning and problem-solving. The key objective is to identify logic and reasoning methods from a computational perspective, learn about agent, search, probabilistic models, perception and cognition, and machine learning.

As all industries and organizations have adapted to Artificial Intelligence applications, currently there is and, in the future, there will be a high demand for opportunities in this field. Industries require new techniques to automate their process. There is a huge demand for professionals with AI & ML skills. Due to exponential growth in the field of Artificial Intelligence in almost every sector, the course can benefit the aspirants with high salary options and scope of growth in their career.
