Curriculum Overview
The Computer Science program at Mansarovar Global University Sehore is meticulously designed to provide students with a robust foundation in both theoretical and practical aspects of computing. The curriculum spans four years, offering a progressive learning experience that equips graduates with the necessary skills to excel in various domains of technology.
Core Subjects
The core subjects form the backbone of the program, ensuring students acquire fundamental knowledge essential for advanced study and professional practice. These include data structures, algorithms, database management systems, operating systems, computer organization, software engineering, and networking principles.
Departmental Electives
Students have the opportunity to explore specialized areas through departmental electives that align with their interests and career aspirations. Courses such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, cybersecurity, data science, web technologies, and mobile computing are offered at an advanced level.
Science Electives
To broaden students' horizons beyond core computer science disciplines, science electives in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology are included. These subjects enhance analytical thinking and provide interdisciplinary perspectives that are valuable in solving complex problems.
Laboratory Sessions
Practical sessions in state-of-the-art laboratories play a crucial role in reinforcing theoretical concepts. Students gain hands-on experience with industry-standard tools, software platforms, and hardware components through laboratory exercises and projects.
Project-Based Learning Philosophy
Our approach to education is fundamentally rooted in project-based learning, which encourages students to apply theoretical knowledge to practical problems. This methodology fosters creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking, preparing students for the realities of professional environments.
The structure of our projects follows a phased approach, beginning with problem identification, followed by literature review, design planning, implementation, testing, and documentation. Each phase is assessed through peer reviews, faculty evaluations, and milestone presentations.
Mini-projects are assigned in the second year, allowing students to explore different domains within computer science. These projects are typically completed over a semester and involve small teams of 3-5 members working under close faculty supervision.
The final-year thesis or capstone project is an individual endeavor that spans the entire academic year. Students select topics aligned with their interests or industry needs, guided by faculty mentors who ensure academic rigor and innovation.
Advanced Departmental Electives
Deep Learning and Neural Networks
This course introduces students to advanced architectures like convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and transformers. Students learn to implement models using frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch, with a focus on practical applications in computer vision and natural language processing.
Advanced Machine Learning Techniques
The course explores ensemble methods, reinforcement learning, and Bayesian networks. It emphasizes the application of these techniques in real-world scenarios, including recommendation systems, fraud detection, and autonomous vehicle navigation.
Cybersecurity in Modern Applications
Students examine contemporary threats and defense mechanisms, including zero-day exploits, advanced persistent threats (APTs), and insider attacks. The course includes hands-on labs using tools like Wireshark, Nmap, and Metasploit to simulate real-world cyber incidents.
Big Data Analytics and Visualization
This course equips students with skills in data warehousing, ETL processes, and visualization platforms such as Tableau and Power BI. Through case studies involving healthcare, finance, and e-commerce sectors, students gain insight into handling massive datasets efficiently.
Cloud Infrastructure and DevOps
The course covers cloud service models, virtualization technologies, and automation tools like Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, and Ansible. Students learn to design scalable infrastructure solutions for enterprise applications.
Software Project Management
This course focuses on agile methodologies, risk assessment, resource allocation, and project lifecycle management. Students work in teams to manage small-scale software development projects from inception to deployment.
Internet of Things and Edge Computing
The course explores the integration of sensors, actuators, and edge devices in smart city infrastructure. Students develop IoT applications using platforms like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32.
Advanced Software Engineering
This course studies software architecture patterns, microservices design, and modern development practices such as continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD). The course culminates in a team project where students build a complete software solution following industry best practices.
Research Methodology and Thesis Writing
This course prepares students for academic research by teaching them how to formulate hypotheses, conduct literature reviews, and write scientific papers. It includes workshops on presenting findings at conferences and publishing in journals.
Capstone Project I
This project provides an opportunity for students to work on a substantial project under faculty supervision. Students collaborate with industry partners or research labs to solve real-world challenges, developing both technical and interpersonal skills.
Final Year Project
The final year project allows students to pursue independent research or innovation. With guidance from advisors, they develop prototypes, conduct experiments, and document their findings in a comprehensive final report.
