Principles of Management and Entrepreneurship
Industrial Management: Development of Management thought-Management Functions – planning – organizing – power and authority-organization structures – span of control – delegation, leadership, directing and controlling-management by objectives-forecasting models.
Environmental Science and Engineering
Awareness of the impact of environment on quality of life – natural resources – biological systems – bio-geo chemical cycles – chemical processes; water treatment operations, water sampling, storage, quality measurement – oxygen demand – detection of pollutants– current environmental issues; pollutants, global warming, causes and consequences, air pollution, organic and inorganic air pollutants, smog-acid mine drainage, accumulation of salts in water– soil formation; micro and macro nutrients in soil, pollutants in soil – green chemistry: an alternative tool for reducing pollution – enginee
Computer Networks
Introduction to Computer Networks: History of Evolution of the Internet, Network Topology , Layered Protocol Stack, Point-to - point and broadcast communications, LAN, WAN, MAN, and the Internet. Delay analysis in circuit switching, message switching, and packet switching. Queuing models.
Machine Learning
Introduction to Machine Learning: Capacity, overfitting and underfitting, regularization techniques, hyperparameters, bias and variance, PAC model, Rademacher complexity, growth function, VC-dimension, model evaluation and selection, ML frameworks in python.
Supervised Learning: Concepts of classification and regression, linear and ridge regression, perceptron, k-nearest neighbor classifiers, decision tree, logistic regression, naive Bayes, Gaussian discriminant analysis, linear models for classification and regression, multi-class classification techniques.
Atomic and Molecular Spectroscopy
