About Computer Science & Engineering (Data Science)
The B.E. in Computer Science & Engineering (Data Science) at SJEC is a four-year VTU-affiliated programme established in 2022–23 with an intake of 60 students. The programme serves as an emerging center of excellence focused on preparing skilled data-driven professionals through a strong academic foundation and an industry-aligned curriculum. It emphasizes core computing, data analytics, machine learning, big data technologies, and statistical modeling.
Students acquire hands-on experience in programming, software development, data analysis, databases, algorithms, and problem-solving. Their analytical capabilities are strengthened through mathematics, statistics, and optimization, while training in AI tools, cloud technologies, and modern data platforms ensures practical industry-ready skills. The department regularly conducts skill development programs, industry workshops, technical training, and sessions involving real-world datasets. Participation in coding challenges, hackathons, ideation events, and interdisciplinary projects further nurtures innovation and critical thinking.
CSE(DS) students actively take part in high-impact events such as the FOSS United National Convention, Google Cloud DevFest, and hackathons by Microsoft, Kyndryl, NIVIUS, EG, and SAP. Several student projects have received funding from KSCST, and students also excel in sports, NCC, NSS, and co-curricular activities at state and national levels. Faculty members are engaged in research across machine learning, data mining, cloud computing, and intelligent systems, securing grants and publishing extensively in reputed journals and conferences.
With the rapid expansion of data-driven industries, Data Science plays a crucial role in the digital age. Graduates are well prepared for in-demand roles such as Business Intelligence Developer, Research Scientist, Big Data Engineer, Data Analyst, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, AI Engineer, Cyber Analyst, Software Engineer, and Product Manager.
