Artificial Intelligence forms the basis for all future decision making. The aim of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (AI & DS) is to tackle complex real-world problems. The Department of Computer Engineering offers the Artificial Intelligence and Data Science Programme at VU Pune which provides students with the skills to perform intelligent decisions based on data analysis for real-world applications.
Vishwakarma University is one of the leading state private universities in Pune that offers B.Tech. Degree with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (AIDS). The programme is not only aimed to provide core technologies such as machine learning, data warehouse, data mining, and artificial intelligence; but it also gives in-depth inputs in areas like artificial neural networks, fuzzy techniques, big data analytics, and many more.
Our aim is to prepare knowledgeable and industry-ready students who can pursue careers as data analysts, data scientists, and solve major problems related to the field of machine learning, statistics, knowledge discovery, and visualization. The programme helps students excel in the field of computer science, applications, and systems with sound knowledge, skills, and practice.
To create an intellectual and academically rich environment for careers in Computing Education and Research to fulfill global needs.
The Department of Computer Engineering was established in 2017. The first programme to be introduced was B.Tech. in Computer Engineering with an intake of 120. Subsequently, a second programme was introduced in academic year 2020-21, B.Tech. in Artificial Intelligence & Data Science with an intake of 30.
The department has good infrastructure to cater to both these courses. The laboratories are well equipped with the latest software and hardware. We have a good track record of job placements and our students are sent for a mandatory internship during the Final Year. Some deserving students are also sent for part time internship during the third year along with their course work. Students focus on academics as well as co-curricular activities, they have established a Software Club “Revolution”. This club organizes expert lectures, programming contests and provides student with a platform for acquiring and disseminating software knowledge.
The department has an MOU with IBM under which two specialization tracks are offered: Business Analytics and Cyber Security & Forensics. Each student has to undergo a seven course curriculum along with a minor project in one of these tracks.
The department has well qualified and experienced staff with expertise in various fields of research such as Cyber Security, Augmented & Virtual Reality, Cloud Computing and Deep Learning. Our faculty members are heading centers of excellence such as Unity Center of Excellence and Industry 4.0. They are also major contributors to other centers of excellence such as the Center for e-Learning, Design Thinking and Innovation. Our faculty members are also significant contributors to the University administration occupying roles such as Chief Information Security Officer, Director of International Relations, Chief Digital Officer, Director of Research, Director of VU Digital.The overall goal of the department is to nurture students to make them industry ready as well as prepare them for goals such as higher education, entrepreneurship and research.
