DOMAIN EXPERTISE
Data Science
In the past decade, the world has been transformed by the rapidly evolving field of Data Science. This new science, which is already revolutionizing business, science, and society, builds on an array of technological developments, including the widespread use of smartphones and rapid technological progress in computing and communication. Massive investments have gone into building out wireless infrastructure, data centers (the cloud) and into leveraging such facilities. The volume of data being collected automatically—and the processing of such data—has soared. New data-driven services have arisen, exploiting this new data-driven environment and convincing the public of the power and elegance of the data-driven paradigm.
Today, the term 'Data Scientist' typically describes a knowledge worker who uses the complex and massive data resources characteristic of this new era. However, Data Science is a broader concept involving principles for data collection, storage, integration, analysis, inference, communication, and ethics appropriate for this new data-driven era. Several industries and academic disciplines have perceived that a new field of Data Science is emerging out of several established fields, including Information Technology, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Operations Management, and Business Analytics. Data Scientists of the future will need to be educated in the full scope of Data Science principles, which is prioritized in the best B.Tech. colleges in Bangalore.
Why VU for B.Tech.?
A key goal of Vidyashilp University’s B.Tech. (Hons.) - Computer Science and Engineering program is to inculcate in its students the ability to make good judgments, use tools responsibly and effectively, and ultimately make good decisions using data. This collection of abilities is defined as 'Data Acumen'..
Students from the School of Computational and Data Sciences will acquire knowledge from multiple disciplines like mathematics, statistics, and computational foundations and training in data acquisition, modeling, management and curation, data visualization, workflow, and reproducibility, communication and teamwork, domain-specific considerations, and ethical problem-solving.
The open choice based credit system gives the students the liberty to choose from a variety of related courses and electives offered as well as take up open electives online in case such is not offered within the University. This type of program flexibility to combine unique specializations will help students enhance their career traction after graduating from the B.Tech. program in Computer Science and Engineering at Vidyashilp University.
