About

This proposal outlines the introduction of dual degree programmes at Periyar Maniammai Institute of Science & Technology (PMIST). The initiative is aimed at core engineering students, offering them the opportunity to enroll in dual degree programmes in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) or Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (AI & DS).

Dual degree programmes have gained substantial traction in recent years, providing students with the flexibility to acquire interdisciplinary skills and improve their employability. PMIST is committed to enhancing student opportunities by offering these dual degree options.

  • Enhance students' expertise in multiple disciplines.
  • Provide broader career opportunities and increased employability.
  • Foster interdisciplinary research and collaboration.
  • Equip students with advanced skills in emerging areas like AI & DS.
The proposed dual degree programmes target:

Core engineering students (e, g., Mechanical, Civil, Electrical) who can enrol in dual degree programmes in CSE or AI & DS.

The dual degree programmes will be structured to ensure comprehensive learning and skill development. The structure includes:

  • Core courses from the primary degree.
  • Specialized courses from the secondary degree (CSE or AI & DS).
  • Integrated projects and internships.
  • A capstone project that combines knowledge from both disciplines.
  • Interdisciplinary Learning: Students gain knowledge in two fields, enhancing their problem-solving skills.
  • Competitive Edge: Graduates with dual degrees are more competitive in the job market.
  • Research Opportunities: Increased opportunities for interdisciplinary research.
  • Flexibility: Flexibility in career choices and higher education opportunities.
