Learning Methodology

LECTURES DELIVERED ONLINE AND ONSITE

Lectures are delivered by BITS Pilani faculty members through live via online classes, or at the organisation's premises, and are designed to offer similar levels of interactivity as regular classrooms at the BITS Pilani campus.

DIGITAL LEARNING

Learners can access engaging learning material which includes recorded lectures from BITS Pilani faculty members, course handouts and recorded lab content where applicable.

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT

Continuous Assessment includes graded Assignments/ Quizzes, Mid-semester exam, and Comprehensive Exam.

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING

The programme emphasises on Experiential Learning that allows learners to apply concepts learnt in the classroom in simulated, and real work situations. This is achieved through:

 

Simulation Tools, Platforms & Environments: Some or all of the following would be utilised across the programme.

  • Cloud based virtual lab which supports the following programming languages/tools/simulators:
    • Networks: NS2, Net-SNMP and WireShark
    • Data Analytics:
      • Languages: R, Python, Prolog and Lisp
      • Platforms: RStudio, Weka, Microsoft Power BI, TensorFlow and Anaconda Navigator
      • Libraries: Python Ecosystem – NumPy, SciPi, Pandas, scikit-learn, MatplotLib; Searborn, Keras, NLTK, pgmpy etc.
    • Embedded and IOT: Keil, CCS Studio, Tossim and Cheddar
    • Devops: Jenkins, GitHub, SonarQube, Selenium, Tomcat and Maven
    • Programming Environments: Java, Eclipse, Code::Blocks, Android Studio, Jupyter Notebooks and Spyder
    • Others: Multisim, CPU-OS Simulator, SQLite, MATLAB, , Gantt Project, Open Project and XAMPP
  • Remote Lab facility caters to the needs of resource intensive requirements of Big Data Analytics applications with the following platforms:
