Preamble
The program is designed giving importance to theory as well as exposure to industry needs. It consists of two parts: course work and a year-long project. The course work is structured to give solid theoretical foundations and practical, hands-on experience which would enable the student to tackle problems in the area of signal processing, communications, and machine learning in a holistic manner.
The one year long project is supposed to be in partnership with industry so that the students solve problems which are of relevance to product design and development. The project is done in-house, the problem definition and part of technical support comes from an industry or reputed government R&D laboratories.
In order to prepare the students for product development by the end of first year, courses like Advanced Programming Practicum, Embedded Systems, IoT Systems, and Systems Design are included in the curriculum. In addition to the post graduate project, these courses familiarize the students with the system design aspects relevant to signal processing, communications, and machine learning.
Objectives of the program
After the completion of the degree, students would
- be prepared with a varied range of expertise in different aspects of signal processing and communications, such as signal processing, modern communication systems, estimation and detection theories.
- acquire good understanding of both the theory and application of signal processing, communications, and machine learning approaches to wide-variety of scenarios in diversified application areas.
- be able to create models using the knowledge acquired from the program to solve future challenges and real-world problems requiring the knowledge of one or more of signal processing, communications, or machine learning.
- be better trained professionals to cater to the growing demand for signal processing, communications, machine learning professional.
Specializations offered
- Communications
- Signal Processing
