1 INTEGRATED M.Tech. SOFTWARE SYSTEMS Work Integrated Learning Programmes

2 INTEGRATED M.Tech. SOFTWARE SYSTEMS Integrated M.Tech. in Software Systems is an eight-semester Work Integrated Learning Programme which leads to a master s degree in Software Systems. Software systems have grown in complexity, size and area of application. Internet has enabled construction of distributed systems. Smart phones, intelligent cars and sophisticated medical equipment have given birth to a large number of embedded systems. Growth in data has prompted use of analytics to derive meaningful insights. All these trends have led to different kinds of Software systems. PROGRAMME HIGHLIGHTS Integrated M.Tech. in Software Systems is a eight semester programme Since this programme is meant for B. Sc. graduates, it starts with a strong foundation in mathematics, microprocessors, management and programming. The first 2 years enable students to reach a level from where they can start taking courses of the 2-year M Tech programme. The programme offers a set of core courses and elective courses, allowing students to specialise in one of the following areas: Embedded systems, Networked systems, Data analytics, Software engineering and Telecommunications. The programme ends with a dissertation that enables students to advance in their professional area by applying concepts and techniques learnt, in a project. The methodology is a combination of class room learning and experiential learning. Experiential learning consists of lab exercises, case studies and work integrated activities. Lab exercises consist of programming exercises, experiments using simulation tools, analysis and design of systems, etc. Some of the tools used in assignments are Code::Blocks, SQLite, Star UML, NS2, WireShark and Keil. Case studies consist of analysing a given situation and finding solutions to issues, using techniques learnt. Work integrated activities consist of looking at work performed at the workplace using concepts learnt, and potentially enhancing the quality of software at the workplace using techniques learnt. This enables students to relate concepts to their professional work. PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES This programme is designed to meet the growing demand for professionals who can design software systems such as Embedded systems, Networked systems and Data Analytics. It will enable professionals to take up higher responsibilities of designing & architecting systems. It will also enable students to pursue higher education. Organisations will be able to deliver sophisticated systems to their clients.
