By Prof. Deepu Philip, Prof. Amandeep Singh | IIT Kanpur

Learners enrolled: 446

ABOUT THE COURSE:

Industry 4.0 has marked the use of Computer Aided Decision Support Systems largely using Big Data Analytics in developing interfaces between the soft and physical systems. With huge numbers of sensors, smartphones, vehicles and systems being connected, the data and information is being generated at an unprecedented pace. Big Data Science has become a prominent tool to conceptually connect and realize fruitful use of this data and information. This has created tremendous opportunities and ventures for the students and practitioners. This course covers the major sectors that utilize the Big Data Analytics vis-à-vis Retail Industry, Engineering and Manufacturing, Healthcare, and Transportation. The predominant tools in the above sectors and use of soft tools are designed to make the course useful for the practitioners. The candidates are expected t take a new leap on taking the Analytics assignments after taking this course.

INTENDED AUDIENCE: Students of all Engineering and Science disciplines.

PREREQUISITES: The student should have completed two semesters of UG Engineering or Science program.

INDUSTRY SUPPORT: TCS, Accenture, Tech Mahindra, Capgemini India Pvt Ltd., Genpact.
