This is a two years’ full time post graduate program being offered under Somaiya Vidyavihar University. The post graduate course is spread over two years in four semesters with inclusion of course work, mini project, mandatory non-credit courses, open electives and dissertation. The students are also exposed to learn Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) / Research Methodology course to understand the importance and process of creation of patents through research.
The students have an opportunity to do an industry internship of 3 months in their Sem-III. The exercise of drafting our PG curriculum has been undertaken along with feedback from experts from industry, research organizations and alumni to make it relevant, dynamic and updated. The Department of Computer Engineering facilitates students to apply principles of Computer technology across a wide variety of fields, for adapting to ever changing multidisciplinary converging technologies. The academic ambience encourages research, development and innovation activities. Leadership and teamwork are induced for imbibing the ethical and professional attitude to enrich society. Our Computer engineers work in most industries, including the computer, telecommunications, power production, manufacturing, and electronics industries.
The Teaching-Learning-Evaluation (TLE) paradigm is a mix of traditional as well as active learning pedagogy and use of contemporary ICT (Information and communications technology) tools. The TLE process is facilitated by faculty members with use of active learning strategies and ICT like DIY (Do-it-Yourself), Think Pair Share, Google Classroom, LMS – Moodle etc. The MOOCs (massive open online course) courses are used for blended learning of the students.
The projects are assigned as per students’ choice mapped with knowledge / thrust areas of Computer Engineering. Evaluation is done by a variety of tools including Open book tests, MCQs (multiple choice questions), Study of research papers, Internal Assessment tools etc. Mini-Projects are offered to encourage project based learning among students. Various virtual labs viz. Virtual Labs of IITs, VMWARE HOL (Hand-on-Lab), Quiklabs are used to make learning interesting for students.
