Vidyashilp University's B.Tech (Hons) program is a specialization in Data Science built on Computer Science and Engineering. It is a unique combination of interdisciplinary program work designed for those who seek to become 'Data Scientists'. The curriculum design and structure are guided both by recent work on the relation of Data Science to the other domains as well as the need for talent to meet the demands of the data-driven economy of the future. Graduates of the B.Tech program in Computer Science and Engineering will be uniquely positioned to pursue a career in industry, academia, or research in this rapidly growing and all-pervasive field of Data Science.
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.
