B.Tech. in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science(B.Tech.)

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering at REVA UNIVERSITY proudly launches an innovative B. Tech in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science programme during the academic year 2021–2022. Due to the exploration of the Internet, AI and DS deliver data-driven solutions using computational principles, methods, and systems for extracting information from data and modern computational systems that reveal capabilities of insight, way of thinking, learning, and action that are typical of human intelligence. This course to create motivated, innovative, creative thinking graduates to fill ICT positions across sectors who can conceptualize, design, analyse, and develop ICT applications to meet modern-day requirements.

B. Tech in Artificial Intelligence & Data Science Programme prepares students with the skills to perform intelligent data analysis which is a key component in numerous real-world applications. During the past ten years, data science has emerged as one of the most high-growth, dynamic, and lucrative careers in technology. This course aims at providing not only the core technologies such as artificial intelligence, data mining, and data modelling but also gives intensive inputs in areas of machine learning and big data analytics. Through this course, the students will gain cross-disciplinary skills across fields such as statistics, computer science, machine learning, and logic, data scientists and may have career opportunities in healthcare, business, e-commerce, social networking companies, climatology, biotechnology, genetics, and other important areas. The major focus of this programme is to equip students with statistical, mathematical reasoning, machine learning, knowledge discovery, and visualization skills.

The course covers the core principles of Data Science, the process of ethically acquiring, engineering, analysing, visualizing, and ultimately monetizing data. It equips it with the basic tools and techniques of data handling, exploratory data analysis, data visualization, and data-based inference.

The course also introduces the fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence – state-space representation, search strategies, and learning algorithms. The course motivates students to work closely with data and make data-driven decisions in the field of study. The course also touches upon the ethical issues in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence and motivates students to explore the cutting-edge applications related to Big Data, Neural Networks, and Deep Learning. Applications like Alexa/Siri, Erica/Sophia, Tesla’s driverless car, Chatbot, etc. are becoming common. AI-powered Robots can take over human life-endangering jobs like firefighting, deep-sea oil drilling, mining works with high mortality rates, etc.

The B. Tech., in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science curriculum developed by the faculty at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, is outcome-based and it comprises required theoretical concepts and practical skills in the domain. By undergoing this programme, students develop critical, innovative, creative thinking and problem-solving abilities for a smooth transition from academic to the real-life work environment. In addition, students are trained in interdisciplinary topics and attitudinal skills to enhance their scope. The above-mentioned features of the programme, advanced teaching, and learning resources, and the experience of the faculty members with their strong connections with the ICT sector make this programme unique.
