Bachelor of Science (BS) in Electronics and Computing
Overview
BS Electronics and Computing is a Four-year, Eight-semester program designed to explore and utilize advanced research areas and combine innovative ideas into the recently applied fields of Electronics and Computing. The program is specially designed for inquisitive scientists/researchers who aspire to broaden their expertise in specialized areas of Electronics and Computing.
The scholars will work in major scientific research areas of advanced Electronics and Computing to get exposure to multidisciplinary research that forms connections with other sciences to spawn new fields. Traditional electronics designing is being replaced by embedded, AI-based design and IoT technologies. Embedded systems and Adaptive systems expertise are the need of the time and are being used almost in all fields of life to cope with the computational complexities of rapid development. Electronics has various applications in cross-disciplinary areas such as Biocomputing, Genetic Engineering, meteorology, telecom sector, and Agricultural engineering to solve today’s or tomorrow’s problems. In this program, students will be able to apply electronics principles to many of the future technologies in various fields of life. Graduates of this program will assist in coping with the ever-growing demands of industry and academia.

Career Opportunities:
Technological Advancements: Electronics is a rapidly evolving field, and as technology continues to advance, there will be a need for scientists who can push the boundaries of what is possible in areas such as semiconductor technology, nanoelectronics, and Embedded Computing.
Emerging Technologies: Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), and 5G networks rely heavily on electronics. Electronics scientists will be needed to develop and optimize the electronic components and systems that underpin these technologies.
Healthcare and Biotechnology: Electronics scientists play a crucial role in the development of medical devices, diagnostics, and wearable health technologies. As the healthcare industry continues to adopt electronic solutions, there will be a demand for experts in this field.
Renewable Energy: Electronics are integral to renewable energy technologies such as solar panels and wind turbines. Scientists are needed to improve the efficiency and reliability of these systems as the world seeks more sustainable energy sources.
Aerospace and Defense: Electronics scientists are essential in the aerospace and defense sectors, where cutting-edge electronic systems are critical for communication, navigation, and security. Ongoing innovation in these areas will drive demand.
Cybersecurity: With the increasing threat of cyberattacks, electronics scientists with expertise in cybersecurity will be in high demand to develop secure electronic systems and protect critical infrastructure.
Global Connectivity: The demand for global connectivity through satellite communication, undersea cables, and other electronic networks will require ongoing research and development in electronics.
Sustainability and Green Electronics: As sustainability becomes a priority, there will be a need for scientists who can develop environmentally friendly electronic materials and technologies.
The prime objectives of BS Electronics and Computing will be to directly prepare the human resource capital for the technological needs of the country and to indirectly expand the research in Science and Technology at CUI. CUI has already played its role in computing-related technologies through its quality teaching, research, and taking part in national-level policy making. We believe that CUI will play the same role in the case of Technological Solutions. The BS Electronics and Computing program will prepare the students to avail this opportunity and to contribute to the welfare of the country.
