School of Computer

Science and
Engineering
Engineering Minor
• A set of four courses in an engineering stream to develop a
competency within or outside the discipline area (e.g. a computer
science engineering student choosing Cyber Security or Machine
Learning or a mechanical engineering student taking courses from
computer science engineering or as his/her engineering minor area).

• These Engineering Minors are being offered so that each student

would have at least one major skills by the end of 7th term.
Engineering Minor
• Students are expected to provide his/her choice of Engineering Minor
area only once and the set of courses of that particular area would get
registered in pre-defined terms (5th, 6th and 7th).
Engineering Minors in School of Computer Science and
Engineering:
1. Cyber Security
2. Data Science
3. Machine Learning
4. MEAN Stack Development (Not for IT students)
5. Software Methodologies and Testing
Machine Learning
Brief Description
Machine learning is an application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that
provides systems the ability to automatically learn and improve from
experience without being explicitly programmed. Machine Intelligence
represents a key evolution in the fields of artificial intelligence, data
analysis, and software engineering. This area will teach you ABC of
machine learning, and help you in applying predictive models to
massive data sets in fields like finance, healthcare, education, and
more.
