The School of Engineering and Applied Science at Ahmedabad University is offering a Master of Technology programme in Computer Science and Engineering with specialisation in Data Science and Analytics as well Artificial Intelligence as from the academic year 2024-2025.
Recent times have witnessed rapid advances in Computer Science and Engineering. It would not be an exaggeration to say that we are at the next inflection point in the impact of technology on our daily lives.
The specialisation in Data Science and Analytics trains students in applied mathematics, statistics, computer science, and apply their learnings to real-life domains such as finance, energy, supply chain, agriculture, and ecommerce. Data Science is concerned with the collection, preparation, analysis and visualisation of large collections of information -- including multimodal and unstructured -- for insights.
A few specific applications of Data Science are:
The specialisation in Artificial Intelligence (AI) trains students to develop AI-based approaches to solve hard real-world problems. Students will learn state-of-the-art techniques in Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, Medical Image Analytics and Deep Learning. Recent exciting advances in AI have been demonstrated in:
A unique feature of this MTech programme is that the students also have an opportunity for a one-year industry/on-campus thesis option, paving the way for a successful career in the Industry or Academia.
