The Samsung Innovation Campus programme at the Cambridge Institute of Technology (CIT) in Bengaluru was launched today by the Samsung R&D Institute Bangalore (SRI-B) to upskill young people in emerging tech fields like artificial intelligence, the internet of things, big data, and coding and programming. Samsung’s commitment to the government’s Skill India project is strengthened by this initiative as part of its #PoweringDigitalIndia agenda.
Them and instructors from CIT will collaborate on projects in areas including Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, and Coding & Programming at the classroom facility to prepare students for the workplace. The programme aims to empower its participants to develop into well-rounded professionals by integrating technology, fundamental software skills, and emerging competencies.
Additionally, to close the gap between industry and academia, engineers from SRI-B will mentor the CIT professors.
Along with Padmashri Prof. RM Vasagam, Scientist at ISRO and Chairman, Aerospace Engineering Division Board, The Institution of Engineers, Mr. Mohan Rao Goli, Chief Technology Officer, SRI-B, and Mr. DK Mohan, Chairman, Cambridge Group of Institution, officially opened the Samsung Innovation Campus at CIT (India). Other attendees were Dr. G. Indumathi, Principal, Cambridge Institute of Technology, Mr. Sanjeev Prasad, Head HR, SRI-B; Mr. Srimanu Prasad, Head, Tech Strategy; Mr. Nithin Mohan, CEO, Cambridge Group of Institutions.
“The Samsung Innovation Campus aims to empower young people via education in order to contribute to India’s progress. We are really happy about the opening of Samsung Innovation Campus at CIT, which will give students the knowledge and tools they need to not only advance their digital literacy, cognitive skills, creativity, and imagination, but also open doors for them in the fields of technology of the future. According to Mr. Mohan Rao Goli, Chief Technology Officer, Samsung R&D Institute Bangalore, this will enhance our commitment to “Powering Digital India” and further the growth story of the new India.
The Samsung Innovation Campus is a fantastic effort that unites CIT and one of the best global technology giants, Samsung, to create a classroom that is focused on cutting-edge technologies. We are fortunate that Samsung contacted CIT to ask to be a partner in this innovative project. We shall exert every effort to ensure its success despite the fact that we still have a lot of work to do to provide outcomes. According to Mr. DK Mohan, Chairman of the Cambridge Group of Institutions, “I am certain that our partnership with Samsung opens a new chapter in our ability to contribute to the development of our students and eventually, India.”
Youth enrolled in the programme will finish their hands-on capstone project work in their chosen technology area from among Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, Big Data, and Coding & Programming. They will also receive classroom and online instruction.
Engineers and scientists with expertise in machine learning, artificial intelligence, and big data are highly sought after. The curriculum of the Samsung Innovation Campus is created to narrow the skills gap and prepare students for the workplace.
The Samsung Innovation Campus serves as a platform for faculty members and students to collaborate with SRI-B professionals, giving them the opportunity to gain a thorough understanding through practical experience and by resolving real-world problems with cutting-edge technology.
Samsung has set up a Data Lab on campus as part of its partnership with the Institute. Members of the lab, staff, and students will be able to collaborate on AI and data science projects under the guidance of SRI-B thanks to the Samsung SEED Lab (Student Ecosystem for Engineered Data) located on the campus of the institute. The lab intends to carry out projects by creating an end-to-end data pipeline that comprises data collecting, data engineering, and data analysis (curation, labelling, data management archival, etc).
The Samsung SEED Lab occupies 1,800 square feet and is a five-year collaboration project between SRI-B and CIT. In its early stage, the lab was furnished with tools for quality analysis, servers, data acquisition, and other things. Additionally, it provides a backend architecture for processing, archiving, and storing enormous amounts of data. The lab’s internal capabilities will be increased in the ensuing phases to accommodate emerging technologies like 3D and AR/VR.
