The establishment of a Centre of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Robotics at the Government Model Engineering College (MEC) in Thrikkakara is a significant development in the field of technology and education. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between MEC and APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University (AKTU) is a testament to their commitment to fostering innovation and providing high-quality education in emerging technologies.
The Centre of Excellence will provide students and faculty with state-of-the-art facilities, including advanced equipment and software tools, to conduct research and develop cutting-edge solutions in the areas of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Robotics. The partnership between MEC and AKTU will also facilitate collaborations with industry partners to offer students industry-relevant training and prepare them for careers in technology.
The MoU signing function was attended by the Minister for Higher Education, R Bindu, and AKTU’s Vice-Chancellor, Saji Gopinath, which highlights the importance of this partnership in the eyes of the government and academia. The establishment of the Centre of Excellence will also promote knowledge-sharing and exchange between students and faculty from MEC and other institutions affiliated with AKTU.
The establishment of the Centre of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Robotics at MEC is a significant step towards developing a hub for innovation and collaboration in these fields. This centre will provide an ideal platform for researchers, professionals, and students to come together and share their knowledge and ideas to drive innovation and development in these fields.
The state-of-the-art facilities at the Centre of Excellence will enable researchers to conduct cutting-edge research in AI, ML, and Robotics. The equipment and software tools available at the centre will provide researchers with the resources they need to explore new ideas and solutions to real-world problems. The centre will also have a conducive environment that fosters creativity and encourages collaboration between researchers, students, and professionals.
The training programs, workshops, and internships offered by the Centre of Excellence will provide students with hands-on experience in the field of AI, ML, and Robotics. This experience will not only help students develop the necessary technical skills but also give them exposure to the latest developments and trends in the industry. The centre will also offer mentorship and guidance from experts in the field, helping students to develop their skills and expertise.
The Centre of Excellence in AI, ML, and Robotics at MEC is a promising development for the field of technology and education. The centre’s focus on innovation, collaboration, and knowledge exchange will undoubtedly contribute to the growth and development of these cutting-edge fields and prepare students for a future in the technology industry.
“The signing of the MoU marks a significant milestone in the efforts to promote research and innovation in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotics in Kerala, especially at MEC. The Centre of Excellence is expected to make a valuable contribution to the development of these fields and to the advancement of knowledge and technology,” said the statement.
The decision by the Syndicate of APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University (AKTU) to establish three Centres of Excellence of international standards is a significant investment in the field of science and technology. The centres will be equipped with advanced facilities and resources to support innovative studies and research in emerging fields.
In addition to the Centre of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Robotics at MEC, the other two centres include the Centre for Excellence on Sustainable Development and Carbon Neutrality at the Government Engineering College (GEC) in Kannur and the Centre of Excellence on Emerging Materials and Related Fields at the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Technology (RIT) in Kottayam.
The Centre for Excellence on Sustainable Development and Carbon Neutrality at GEC Kannur aims to promote sustainable development practices and research in renewable energy sources. The centre will provide a platform for the exchange of knowledge and ideas among students, faculty, and professionals in the field. The centre will also support research on carbon neutrality and energy conservation and offer training programs and internships to students.
The Centre of Excellence on Emerging Materials and Related Fields at RIT Kottayam will focus on developing advanced materials and technologies for various applications. The centre will provide researchers with access to state-of-the-art equipment and resources to conduct research in emerging fields such as nanotechnology, advanced manufacturing, and biotechnology. The centre will also facilitate collaborations with industry partners to promote technology transfer and commercialization of research findings.
The establishment of these Centres of Excellence is a significant investment in the future of technology and education. These centres will provide students, researchers, and professionals with access to advanced facilities, training, and resources to conduct research and drive innovation in emerging fields. The investment of Rs.30 crores highlights the commitment of AKTU towards promoting research and development in science and technology and providing students with the necessary skills and expertise to excel in their careers.
