AI and Data Science are the key enablers for disruptive innovations of this century, these emerging technological revolutions have reshaped our work and life style. From the start of June 2021, CIT, Coimbatore establishes a new department “Artificial Intelligence and Data Science”. The department will be driven by its commitment to excel in research, design and development of next generation cutting-edge technologies in the area of Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics. Our mission is to cultivate Industry-Academia partnership, drive collaborative research with other domains and equip our talents to contribute on multi-disciplinary projects by translating the developed technology into real world impacts.
The unique undergraduate program, B.Tech. Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (AI & DS), aims the students to acquire technical skills to perform data processing, analysis and visualization in multiple real-time applications. Program envisions to equip students with the ability to identify and assess societal, health, safety and cultural issues with an emphasize on identifying their consequent responsibilities as engineers of offering optimal and effective solutions for the same.
The designed curriculum is interdisciplinary at the core – straddling computer Science blended with Mathematical Foundations, Artificial Intelligence Techniques, Machine Learning Principles, Statistical Methods, Data Science Philosophies, and their applications across multiple domains. Curriculum also covers on sub-field such as Big Data Analytics, Deep Learning and Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition. This programme offers value added professional courses such as:
♦ Advanced / Dependable AI | ♦ AI for Cyber Security |
♦ Robot Kinematics and Dynamics | ♦ Digital Forensics |
♦ Social Media Analytics | ♦ Smart Systems |
♦ Computational Neuroscience | ♦ Applied Natural language Processing |
♦ Social Network Analysis | ♦ Ethics in AI |
The curriculum assures to provide opportunities for students to explore a number of transdisciplinary specialization areas including Digital Reality, Visual Computing, Communications and Networking, Proficiency in Languages and cutting-edge Technologies pertaining to Data Sciences, Robotics, and smart IOT Projects. The program allows its students to venture into a management specialization courses like Entrepreneurship Skill Development, Ethics and Policy Issues in AI Computing which emphasizes on both AI and Management studies for the scope of entrepreneurial pursuits.
Survey conducted by global organisations indicates that AI and DS pave the way for providing numerous job opportunities in coming years. Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) career opportunities have increased phenomenally in recent times due to its promising demands in industries worldwide. AI and DS have emerged as one of the most lucrative career options in technology and business sectors.
The cardinal outcome of this program is to equip students to identify potential business acumen blended with AI. The students may recognize different business trends by assessing complicated data sets and help in increasing the profits of a company by planning, analysing, developing and nourishing business intelligence solutions. The list of promising AI & Data Science career opportunities are as follows:
♦ Big Data Engineer | ♦ Research Scientist |
♦ Business Intelligence Developer | ♦ AI Data Analyst |
♦ Data Scientist | ♦ Product Manager |
♦ Machine Learning Engineer | ♦ AI Engineer |
♦ Robotics Scientist |
