ready Professionals, Researchers and abilities, foster lifelong learning and instill
Entrepreneurs by offering emerging courses. sense of ethical and societal responsibility
among students.

Imparting experiential learning to gain

proficiency in contemporary software and
design tools to meet the current demands of
the industries.

DEPARTMENT PROFILE
The department was started in the year 2021 to offer under graduate degree programme i.e. Bachelor of
Engineering (BE) in Computer Science & Design (CS&D). To guide the students with their academics,
the department includes enthusiastic, skilled, and experienced teaching members. The faculty members
are actively involved in teaching, product development and research.
The faculty members have published number of research and review papers/articles in referred
International journals and reputed International conferences which are archived at IEEE/ACM/Springer
and other renowned digital libraries.
A course in computer science and design is related to a course in computer science and engineering,
which emphasises not only computing technologies, software, programming, and tools but also various
design techniques and interaction approaches. The program's goal is to provide students with an
interdisciplinary skill set that will allow them to succeed in a variety of industries, including the information
technology field, animation, virtual reality, augmented reality, multimedia, robotics, game development,
entertainment, and digital analytics, among others.
The faculty frequently attends staff development programmes (SDP/FDP/Seminar) to update themselves
in technological advancements and conferences to present research findings. The department aims at
building the students' career by placing special emphasis on all-round development through continuous
interaction with Industry. To increase the opportunity of placements to students, the department conducts
soft skills training programmes, technical skill development activities and initiatives on self-learning
(Spoken Tutorial programmes by IIT Bombay).
