meaningfully to the rapidly evolving digital world.
Elevate Global education standards, foster collaborative research, and produce skilled professionals in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, committed to community service.
Engineering Graduates will be able to:
Apply the knowledge of mathematics, natural science, computing, and engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialisation to the solution of complex engineering problems.
Identify, formulate, and analyse complex engineering problems, reaching substantiated conclusions with consideration for the holistic nature of the problem.
Design creative solutions for complex engineering problems and design systems, components, or processes to meet identified needs — with consideration for public health and safety, and cultural, societal, and environmental factors. Sustainability is now intrinsic to design.
Conduct investigations of complex engineering problems using research-based knowledge and research methods, including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions.
Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modelling — recognising their limitations — to solve complex engineering problems.
Analyse and evaluate societal and environmental aspects while solving complex engineering problems, considering their impact on sustainability with reference to economy, health, safety, legal frameworks, culture, and the environment.
Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics, human values, diversity, and inclusion; and adhere to relevant national and international laws.
Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse and multi-disciplinary teams.
Communicate effectively and inclusively within the engineering community and with society at large — comprehending and writing effective reports and design documentation, and making effective presentations — considering cultural, language, and learning differences.
Apply knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and economic decision-making, and apply these to one's own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects in multi-disciplinary environments.
Recognise the need for, and have the preparation and ability for, independent and life-long learning, adaptability to new and emerging technologies, and critical thinking in the broadest context of technological change.
Graduates of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (AI&DS) will
Students of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (AI&DS) shall have
State-of-the-art laboratories equipped with modern instruments for hands-on learning.
