B.TECH in Computer Science and Design

About the Program

B.Tech (Computer Science and Design) or Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Design (CSD) is a four-year Under-Graduate degree program.

The aim is to develop graduates that are not only well versed with computing approaches, tools, and technologies but are also experienced with Design approaches and new Media technologies and uses. The program has a small set of core courses and many electives which can be taken from CS as well as Design and Digital Media.

This course enables the students to build a program most suitable for them. Students are prepared to work in the IT industry as well as the digital media industry like gaming, animation, virtual/augmented reality, etc. The program will also allow students, who want to pursue higher studies, to take up higher studies in CS/IT or Design.

Course Highlights

The program aims to develop capabilities in CS as well as Design. At the end of the program, a student will have:

• Understanding of foundations, limits, and capabilities of computing.
• Ability to design and implement efficient software solutions using suitable algorithms, data structures, and other computing techniques.
• Understanding of design principles, techniques, and ability to apply these for developing solutions to human/societal problems.
• Ability to independently investigate a problem that can be solved by an HCI design process and then design an end-to-end solution to it (i.e., from user need identification to UI design to technical coding and evaluation).
• Ability to effectively use suitable tools and platforms, as well as enhance them, to develop applications/products for new media design in areas like animation, gaming, virtual reality, etc.
• Students get industrial exposure by industrial visits and campus to industry connect programs.
• Students get excellent placement opportunities.

Contents

In addition, the graduate of this program should also have the following general skills that are common with other B.Tech programs:

• Ability to function effectively in teams to accomplish a common goal.
• An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.
• Ability to communicate effectively with a wide range of audiences.
• Ability to self-learn and engage in lifelong learning.
• Ability to undertake small research tasks and projects.
• Ability to take an idea and develop it into a business plan for an entrepreneurial venture (if desired).
• An understanding of the impact of solutions in an economic, societal, and environmental context.

Apart from the scope of computer science and Design graduates in the conventional fields, multiple career avenues have also been unlocked with the rise of advanced technologies, as ‘specialists’ continue to thrive in the domains of the future, such as:

• Machine Learning Engineer
• Data Scientist
• Artificial Intelligence Experts
• Robotics Engineer
• Augmented and Virtual Reality

An assessment of the probable future job landscape, as depicted in the graphic below, is a clear indicator that technology-oriented job roles will by far be ‘the job domain’ of the future.
