Mission of the BS Artificial Intelligence Programme

To prepare graduates who can analyze, design, and develop effective AI solutions and contribute effectively towards society.

Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs)

 

PEO-1: Utilize knowledge to solve real-world problems by applying theory, principles, and methods of computing in general and artificial intelligence in particular.

PEO-2: Demonstrate social and ethical responsibility in professional life.

PEO-3: Manifest lifelong learning for sustained professional and personal progression.

PEO-4: Practice effective communication and teamwork skills.

Programme Learning Outcomes (PLOs)

PLO1    Academic Education: To prepare graduates as computing professionals.

PLO2    Knowledge for Solving Computing Problems: Apply knowledge of computing fundamentals, knowledge of a computing specialization, and mathematics, science, and domain knowledge appropriate for the computing specialization to the abstraction and conceptualization of computing models from defined problems and requirements.

PLO3    Problem Analysis: Identify, formulate, research literature, and solve complex computing problems reaching substantiated conclusions using fundamental principles of mathematics, computing sciences, and relevant domain disciplines.

PLO4    Design/ Development of Solutions: Design and evaluate solutions for complex computing problems, and design and evaluate systems, components, or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.

PLO5    Modern Tool Usage: Create, select, adapt and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern computing tools to complex computing activities, with an understanding of the limitations.

PLO6    Individual and Teamwork: Function effectively as an individual and as a member or leader in diverse teams and in multi-disciplinary settings.

PLO7    Communication: Communicate effectively with the computing community and with society at large about complex computing activities by being able to comprehend and write effective reports, design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and understand clear instructions.

PLO8    Computing Professionalism and Society: Understand and assess societal, health, safety, legal, and cultural issues within local and global contexts, and the consequential responsibilities relevant to professional computing practice.

PLO9    Ethics: Understand and commit to professional ethics, responsibilities, and norms of professional computing practice.

PLO10 Life-long Learning: Recognize the need, and have the ability, to engage in independent learning for continual development as a computing professional.
