University of Mumbai, M.Tech. (Artificial Intelligence), 2019 2 From the Dean’s Desk:
The era of digitalization has changed and is changing the way we produce, communicate and even the
way cities work. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is considered to be the next remarkable technological
development, alike the past industrial revolutions and the current digital revolution. The scope of the AI
market seems promising with opportunities in diverse sectors such as the healthcare, security, retail,
agriculture, automotive, manufacturing, and finance. In fact, it is estimated that AI will transform the
labour market by creating more a million new job opportuniti es related to this field. Also, the increasing
amount of digital data and the growing consumer preference for smart devices is resulting into multi
fold rise in the demand for engineers with proficiency in AI. This Masters programme in Artificial
Intelligence will open the doors to gain skills for developing of a wide range of applications with
efficiency, accuracy and reduced risk.
To meet the challenge of ensuring excellence in engineering education, the issue of quality needs to be
addressed, de bated and taken forward in a systematic manner. Accreditation is the principal means of
quality assurance in higher education. The major emphasis of accreditation process is to measure the
outcomes of the program that is being accredited. In line with this, Faculty of Technology of University of
Mumbai has taken a lead in incorporating philosophy of outcome based education in the process of
curriculum development.
Faculty of Technology, University of Mumbai, in one of its meeting unanimously resolved that, each Board
of Studies shall prepare some Program Educational Objectives (PEO’s) and give freedom to affiliated
Institutes to add few (PEO’s) and course objectives and course outcomes to be clearly defined for each
course, so that all faculty members in aff iliated institutes understand the depth and approach of course
to be taught, which will enhance learner’s learning process. It was also resolved that, maximum senior
faculty from colleges and experts from industry to be involved while revising the curricul um. I am happy
to state that, each Board of studies has adhered to the resolutions passed by Faculty of Technology, and
developed curriculum accordingly. In addition to outcome based education, Choice Based Credit and
Grading System is also introduced to ensure quality of engineering education.
Choice Based Credit and Grading System enables a much -required shift in focus from teacher -centric to
learner -centric education since the workload estimated is based on the investment of time in learning not
in teac hing. It also focuses on continuous evaluation which will enhance the quality of education.
University of Mumbai has taken a lead in implementing the system through its affiliated Institutes,
Faculty of Technology has devised a transparent credit assignmen t policy adopted ten points scale to
grade learner’s performance. Choice Based Credit and Grading System was implemented for First Year
Master of Engineering from the academic year 2016 -2017 and subsequently the system has been carried
forward for Second Y ear Master of Engineering in the academic year 2017 -2018.
University of Mumbai has decided to start M.E. (Artificial Intelligence) programme which is under Board
of Studies in Computer Engineering from academic year 2019 -20 in affiliated colleges and M.Tec h.
(Artificial Intelligence) in School of Engineering & Applied Sciences at Kalyan.

University of Mumbai feels that it is desirable to provide specialized Masters programme in Artificial
Intelligence to address the needs of the industry, which today requires more specialized resource in
each field.
The objective of the programme is to give students a deeper understanding of technology and how to
apply logic to create Artificial Intelligence and teach them to create and programme unique projects
for the Artificial Intelligence field. Many skills may be developed during this master’s program that
could lead to high -paying jobs and career advancements in the future. Students may develop critical -
thinking and technology skills that help them excel in their career field, and they may also learn crucial
problem -solving abilities.
The M. E. / M. Tech. in Artificial Intelligence programme is offered to students who are interested in
advanced learning and research in any area of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Business
Intelligence. Applicants to this programme are expected to have a background in Computer Science
and Engineering / Information Technology / Electronics Engineering / Electronics and
Telecommunication Engineering / Electrical Engineering / Instrumentation Engineering / Power
Electronics.
The programme is a 72 -credit post -graduate degree programme, which is usually spread over 4
semesters for a full-time student. About two-thirds of the credits involve coursework, and the remaining
consists of project work. The emphasis is on conducting original research and writing a thesis
individually. The programme is flexible enough to allow a student to specialize in any topic of interest
by taking elective (optional) courses and working on a research project in that area.

Faculty of Technology, University of Mumbai has taken a lead in incorporating philosophy of Choice
Based Education in the process of curriculum development.
