1. Career Guidance:

The department of B.Sc. Computer Data Science & Data Analytics Engg. has conducted a

guest lecture on Career Guidance for Second and Final year students on 21stJuly 2018.

Purpose: The key objective of the seminar is to identify the current trends in the

market and prepare themselves for the future. The purpose of this programme is to give

students the required awareness and insight into the industry needs such as the skill set the

students need to acquire and the kind of job opportunities that are available for Data

Science students.

Report:

A talk on Data Science by Ms. Garima Gupta, a student from the first batch of Computer Data

Science was organized for the students from second and third batch of CDS on 17 August 2019.

The talk focused mainly on the student’s major projects, placement process and further studies

option.

Her major objective was for us to focus on our major projects and to have sufficient knowledge

on main subjects of Data Science i.e. “Python”, “R” and “Machine Learning”. Further in the talk

different types of Data Science domains were explained in which she mentioned “To be a data

scientist the students must have a particular overview on a particular domain”.

She gave an idea to the students regarding the Data Science projects by giving few project

examples and encouraged the students to go through different websites regarding projects and

Data Science case studies. She gave students proper guidance on the important skills to be

acquired for the Data Science and Data Analytics jobs.

Review:

The session was very interactive as the students participated with lot of interest and enthusiasm.

All the queries by the students were clarified. Now the students have a better idea regarding their

final year major projects, their placements process and their life decisions.

2. Industrial visit to BSNL

Purpose: The aim of this industrial visit is to provide a platform for students in the area

of NETWOKS and to gain knowledge in TELE COMMUNICATIONS from the

eminent experts in the field as well as to exhibit and share their ideas.

Report:

An industrial visit to RTTC BSNL Office was conducted on 22 August 2019 for the students of

Computer Data Science.The main aim of the industrial visit was to provide an exposure to the

students about practical working environment.

It was a one-day trip where the students were divided into two batches and each batch went

through four sessions organized by the office members. The sessions included explanation about

Optical Fibre Cables, Mobile Network Communication and Internet of Things. Students got to

know things practically about their working methods and employment practices.

Teachers gave proper explanation to the students about the different types of wired and wireless

communication. They made the session attractive by giving real life examples, showing 3D

models and through charts.

Review:

All the four sessions were very interactive as a lot of interest and enthusiasm was shown by the

students and teachers. All the queries by the students were clarified. Now the students have a

better idea regarding the industries as it was an exposure from the academic’s point of view.

3.One day seminar on -“Data Science Industry Perspective”:

Topic: Data Science Industry Perspective

Date: 30 January 2020

Venue: Loyola Hall (Loyola Academy)

Purpose:

The aim of this programme is to give students the required awareness and insight into the

industry needs such as the skill set the students need to acquire and the kind of job opportunities

that are available for Data Science students.

Report:

A one day seminar was conducted for all the Three year Data Science students. The seminar was

divided into two sessions.

The first session was about Data science Industry perspective . Resource person Mr. Satish

Yellenki, MD & CEO, Skyees pvtd. addressed the students on the latest and the trending subject

of Data Science and Analytics in various areas, its usage and its benefits. Sir also discussed on

the future prospects of the subject in the market and the job opportunities students can look

forward to towards the end of the course. He shared some useful tips with students in staying

abreast of the latest technology and in acquiring the required skills.

The second session was about the importance of statistics in Data science . Resource person Mr.

Ravi Shankar ,Vice –principal ,Vignan Jyothi college , Guntur. Addressed the students on the

importace of Statistical knowledge , To use the proper methods to collect the data, employ the correct

analyses, and effectively present the results. And how we make discoveries in science, make decisions

based on data, and make predictions.

Review: The students have extremely benefitted from the seminar and are now better

equipped with the knowledge on Data Science and Statistics The sessions were very

interactive and lively. Students participated with a lot of interest and enthusiasm. Frequent

questions and relevant examples kept them hooked to the talk.

4. Workshop on IBM tools and Machine Learning Algorithms

Resource Person: Mr. G Vamshi Krishna

Venue: Loyola Academy (M.C.A lab)

A one-week course was conducted from 6 January 2020 to 11 January 2020 for the students of

Computer Data Science.The main aim of the course was to make the students learn about the

IBM tools and Machine Learning algorithms.

The session included detailed explanation about IBM Cognos Analytics, Data Science, ANN and

all the frequently used Machine Learning algorithms such as Linear Regression, Logistic

Regression, Random Forest Classifier etc. Students got to know things practically and better

understood hands-on experience.

All the students registered themselves with the original IBM website to know things visually.

Proper materials were provided so that each student can go through the details and learn more

about Data Science. He made the session attractive by assigning each and every student work on

projects with the help of random datasets.

The complete session was very interactive as a lot of interest and enthusiasm was shown by the

students. All the queries by the students were clarified. Now the students have a better idea on

how to work with the IBM tools and have gained knowledge about the machine learning

algorithms.

5. Participation in National Science day

The National Science Day Fest was held at Loyola Academy Degree and PG College on the

28th and 29th of February, 2020. Various departments of science from the college have

participated in the fest, where the menders of each department have exhibited various working

models pertaining to different concepts of computer science.

The Department of Computer Data Science & Data Analytics Engineering has provided five

such models.

The first model proposed was a face and object recognition model. The model works by

detecting various objects and performing various tasks such as colour filtering and edge

detection.

The second model was a model of a chatbot. Chatbots are automated programs which answer

to user questions about a specific domain. The model is implemented using text mining

techniques.

The third model described the process of exploratory data analysis, which which involved

various techniques of data processing prior to actual analysis.

The fourth model was an interactive game known as 'Angry Birds Dodge', where the main

character has to dodge a series of falling blocks.

The fifth model was a system built to detect driver drowsiness. The model works by detecting

the subject's facial features and looks for signs of sleepiness.

The judges were highly appreciative of the models demonstrated by the students.
