“Artificial Intelligence is going to change the world more than anything in the history of mankind. More than electricity.” AI oracle and venture capitalist Dr. Kai-Fu Lee, 2018.

Artificial intelligence is impacting virtually every industry and applications of human beings. From your smart phones to driverless cars and computer games to space missions, everywhere you find the application and integration of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence has boosted the other technologies such as big data analysis, Internet of Things (IoT) and robotics and it will be the technology that will make our lives easier.

Almost all industries are now opting and investing large amounts of funds for the research, application and integrations of artificial intelligence in their products.There is a good demand in the market for the skillful engineers with the knowledge and experience of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.

Keeping in mind the need of the industry and the future of the technology, AICTE has initiated an undergraduate program in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science.

VPKBIET Baramati has started the undergraduate program of intake 60 in “Artificial Intelligence and Data Science” affiliated to Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune. This course will give the students the right insight about the technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science and advanced topics like deep learning, natural language processing and big data analytics.

We will have a project-based learning approach to make students aware about the technology and product development processes. The blended learning model with MOOCs and other online learning tools will make the students resourceful.

Students will pursue their career in the industry as a machine learning engineer, data scientist, data analysts and software engineer. Students can also be an entrepreneur and start their own start-ups for artificial intelligence and machine learning applications.

We are confident that with our variety of learning pedagogy, we will produce engineers with the right knowledge and right skill sets required for the industry.
