- Reinforcement Learning: The course introduces students to RL algorithms, Markov Decision Processes, Q-Learning, Policy Gradient Methods, and applications in robotics, game theory, and autonomous agents.
- Natural Language Processing: Students will explore text processing techniques, sentiment analysis, named entity recognition, machine translation, and chatbots using transformer architectures like BERT and GPT.
- Cybersecurity Architecture: This course covers modern security frameworks, threat modeling, access control models, secure coding practices, and compliance standards such as ISO 27001 and NIST.
- Digital Forensics: It provides hands-on experience in digital evidence collection, chain of custody, forensic tools, malware analysis, and legal procedures involved in cybercrime investigations.
- Big Data Engineering: Students learn about Hadoop ecosystem, Spark, Kafka, and other distributed computing platforms for processing large-scale datasets efficiently.
- Time Series Forecasting: The course delves into statistical models like ARIMA, exponential smoothing, and machine learning approaches to predict future trends in financial markets, weather patterns, and stock prices.
- Blockchain Technologies: It explores cryptocurrency systems, smart contracts, consensus mechanisms, decentralized applications (dApps), and enterprise blockchain solutions using Ethereum and Hyperledger Fabric.
- IoT Integration: This course teaches students how to design and implement IoT systems using sensors, actuators, cloud connectivity, and edge computing for real-time data processing and automation.
- User Experience Design: Students learn user research methods, prototyping tools, usability testing techniques, interaction design principles, and accessibility standards for creating inclusive digital products.
Project-Based Learning Philosophy:
The department believes in fostering innovation through hands-on experience. Project-based learning is integrated throughout the curriculum, starting from early semesters with mini-projects that allow students to apply theoretical knowledge practically.
Mini-projects (Semester IV and VI) are assigned based on student interests and faculty expertise. Students form teams of 3-5 members and select a project topic aligned with their specialization tracks. Projects are evaluated through presentations, documentation, peer reviews, and milestone submissions.
The final-year capstone project (Semesters VII and VIII) is a significant undertaking that requires students to solve a complex problem using advanced technologies and methodologies. Each student works under the supervision of a faculty mentor and collaborates with industry partners when possible.
Students can choose from a list of predefined topics or propose their own ideas after consultation with faculty advisors. The evaluation criteria include technical feasibility, innovation, impact assessment, presentation quality, and final deliverables.
