Detailed Departmental Elective Courses
Departmental electives provide students with the opportunity to explore specialized areas within Computer Science. Below are descriptions of several advanced departmental elective courses:
- Advanced Machine Learning Techniques: This course delves into advanced topics in machine learning, including reinforcement learning, ensemble methods, deep belief networks, and generative adversarial networks (GANs). Students learn how to implement these techniques using Python libraries such as TensorFlow and PyTorch.
- Cryptography and Network Security: Focuses on the mathematical foundations of cryptographic systems, including symmetric and asymmetric encryption algorithms, hash functions, digital signatures, and network security protocols. The course emphasizes practical implementation and real-world case studies.
- Quantum Computing Fundamentals: Introduces students to the principles of quantum computing, including qubits, superposition, entanglement, and quantum algorithms. Students gain hands-on experience using IBM Quantum Experience and other quantum simulators.
- Natural Language Processing (NLP): Covers advanced NLP techniques such as sentiment analysis, named entity recognition, machine translation, and text summarization. Students use libraries like NLTK, spaCy, and transformers to build NLP models.
- Computer Vision and Image Recognition: Explores the theory and practice of computer vision, including image filtering, feature extraction, object detection, and facial recognition systems. Students implement these concepts using OpenCV and deep learning frameworks.
- DevOps Practices and Tools: Teaches students how to streamline software development through continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes, and automation tools such as Jenkins and Ansible.
- Big Data Technologies: Provides an in-depth understanding of Hadoop ecosystem components including HDFS, MapReduce, Hive, Pig, and Spark. Students work with real-world datasets to gain experience in processing large-scale data.
- Embedded Systems Design: Focuses on designing and programming embedded systems using microcontrollers such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Topics include real-time operating systems (RTOS), sensor integration, and hardware-software co-design.
- Mobile App Development with React Native: Students learn to build cross-platform mobile applications using React Native, integrating native modules and APIs for enhanced functionality across iOS and Android platforms.
- Human-Computer Interaction (HCI): Emphasizes the design and evaluation of interactive systems. Students learn about user-centered design principles, usability testing methodologies, and prototyping techniques using tools like Figma and Sketch.
Project-Based Learning Philosophy
Our department believes that project-based learning is essential for developing practical skills and deep understanding of theoretical concepts. The curriculum includes both mini-projects in earlier semesters and a final-year thesis or capstone project.
Mini-Projects: These projects span the first four semesters, with each project lasting approximately 4–6 weeks. Students work in small teams to solve real-world problems using the knowledge gained from core courses. Projects are evaluated based on technical execution, teamwork, presentation skills, and documentation quality.
Final-Year Thesis/Capstone Project: In the final two semesters, students undertake a substantial research or development project under the guidance of a faculty mentor. The project involves extensive literature review, problem definition, methodology, implementation, testing, and documentation. Students must present their findings to a panel of experts and defend their work publicly.
Students select projects based on their interests, career goals, and available resources. Faculty mentors are assigned based on the alignment between student interests and mentor expertise. Regular progress meetings ensure that students stay on track and receive timely feedback throughout the project lifecycle.
