B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering (Data Science) is a journey towards mastering CSE in the field of Data Science applying Machine Learning Techniques. It aims to develop students to excel in Data Science specific areas by inducing them to employ mathematical models with indispensable engineering and scientific principles to unravel solutions for life problems in the area of data science. With the ever more increasing data, every business is contemplating on data-driven decision making. Data science is an extensive branch of computer sciences. This field uses scientific processes and algorithms in order to gain relevant knowledge and insights from a large amount of data. Businesses use data science to decide marketing strategies, business policies, and many such decisions which can vastly decide the future of the business.
This course will make the students to understand and master CSE and also make them specialist in the field of Data Science – which is one of the emerging fields of Computer Science and Highest paid in the market. Companies like Google, Microsoft, Face Book, Twitter, Instagram, Cisco, Amazon, Oracle are the major users of Data Science which is highly driven by data. Data Science is the conceptual framework which is used in Analytics, this would include statistics, computational physics, algebra, CS and all allied subjects.
The curriculum of this programme is designed to introduce the students to data-oriented skills like Programming for Data Science, Predictive Analytics, etc., The interdisciplinary field of data science uses key skills of a wide range of fields including machine learning, statistics, visualization etc. It enables us to identify meaning and appropriate information from huge volumes of data to make informed decisions in technology, science, business etc.
