B.Des. in Interdisciplinary Design has a flexible curriculum that combines courses from the various domains and disciplines of Design with courses from other institutes of the university. This allows you to leverage new age technology, hone an entrepreneurial mindset and become adept at understanding form and aesthetics, visual language and user-centric approach to develop products and systems in any discipline.
Graduates of Interdisciplinary Design develop a curious mindset and can work in unfamiliar environments as they are trained to deal with ambiguity. They find opportunities in big organisations that wish to leverage design in their business as well as those startups where design plays an important role. With inputs in engineering and entrepreneurship, the Interdisciplinary Design student has a distinct advantage to act as a bridge between different functions in any environment or specialise later in a chosen field.

Interdisciplinary Design graduates find work in design firms that do cross disciplinary work, creative agencies, and startups that need design inputs. They are also singularly eligible to start their own agency. Many go further into a specialisation that they enjoyed in their undergraduate programme. Some even take the research route and excel in academics.

• Serve in the fields of industrial automation, robotics, systems engineering, IT and engineering services, education, research, etc.

M.Tech. in Data Science at JKLU prepares experts in the field who are able to:

• Identify, extract, and pull together available and pertinent heterogeneous data and use appropriate computational principles, platforms, and techniques to discover new relations and deliver insights into research problems or organisational processes and support decision-making.
• Conceive, design, implement, and manage data analytics, data management and information systems, services, and processes by using principles of computer science, data management, machine learning, computational statistics, software engineering, state-of the-art platforms, components and tools.
• Serve in the areas of data analytics, data science, or business analytics in business, consultancy, industry, government, healthcare, education, research, etc.

The Master of Design (MDes) is a postgraduate-level degree in the field of design, awarded by higher education institutions around the world. The field of design is of course constantly changing, and careers in design typically call for a combination of personal creativity with professional skills such as project management. Designers are tasked with the challenge of examining and reimagining a huge range of physical objects which we use in all aspects of our daily lives.

The programme is as much about digital devices as about analogue conversations. It is about cognitive sciences as well as computer sciences. Here, you get first-hand experience of designing and developing complex systems that deliver delightful digital experiences and hands-on inputs to develop user-centric designs.

Courses in cognitive ergonomics, human-computer interface & UI/ UX help in creating good user experiences. Basic understanding of coding helps you in developing digital products. You get to work on real-life projects like designing apps and portals for new businesses besides getting introduced to new methods of quick prototyping to validate your design solutions. Knowledge of typography, layouts, colour and form, helps in developing interactions that are visually delightful.

 A grounding in Entrepreneurship, additionally prepares you to work out design proposals and business plans. Our graduates find opportunities as Interaction designers in technology companies and big corporations. They are also sought after by start-ups in digital products and app development. Organisations that develop software also require UX or User experience designers who can interpret the man-machine interface. Service Design is another area of work for Interaction designers as they understand the systemic approach to problem solving.

This programme aims to develop Electronics and Communication Engineers who are able to leverage cutting edge technologies to lead organisations through their digital transformation.

The courses in this concentration enable students to design systems that can process audio, video, sensor data and develop real world applications for communication systems, medical diagnostics equipment, seismology, extraterrestrial communication etc. The courses offered in this concentration include:

• Advanced Communication Systems
• Information Theory and Coding
• Cryptography and Cybersecurity
• Signal processing using Machine Learning
• Wireless Communication and Networks
• Antenna Design

B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering at JKLU aims to create the next generation of computer engineers who will work to address the issues and challenges of the present time through knowledge and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Embedded system developers write code that powers refrigerators, printers, ovens, or toasters that makes everyone’s life easier. The embedded coding runs before the operating system even loads. These developers work on the operating system in real-time and write the real hardware code to function correctly. They work closely with hardware engineers because they write device drivers. Embedded system developers can look forward to a bright future. Qualcomm, Intel, Tata Elxsi, HCL Technologies all of these companies hire embedded software engineers.
Simultaneously, IoT is making significant strides as more things are getting connected to the internet. Many experts predict that two-third of the new businesses will be dependent on IoT by the end of this year. Keeping this in mind, IoT offers the potential for a “fourth industrial revolution.” IoT ecosystem consists of intelligent devices that are web-enabled and use embedded systems such as sensors, processors, and communication hardware that collect the information and then share, analyse the data they collect and then act on it. The data obtained by the sensors of an IoT in the environment is shared by connecting to an IoT gateway that sends the data to the cloud for analysis. The data is analysed locally. These devices can often connect to similar devices and share the information and then act on the data they acquire from each other.

Cloud computing (or ‘on-demand computing’) is a key distributed systems paradigm which has been gained much attention during the last few years. Cloud computing is a type of Internet-based computing, where data, information and shared resources are made available to computers and other devices on-demand. Cloud technologies are ubiquitous, affecting our routine lives any moment we access the World Wide Web, use a mobile app, or go for online transactions. Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with numerous competencies to store and process their data in third-party data centers. Cloud computing is a model for facilitating pervasive, suitable, on-demand network access to a common pool of configurable computing resources such as webs, servers, storage, applications and services that can be quickly provisioned and freed with nominal management effort.

The technological growth, the Internet, and availability and sharing of information have tremendously increased information threats to organisations and individuals making it a challenge for users and system administrators to preserve security. Due to the requirement of sophisticated knowledge and tools to keep systems secure, there is a big need in India and around the world for information security professionals who are well educated about the various aspects of information security. The emergence of Information Security has resulted in the opening of various professional avenues for young professionals, creating a market ready for young IT graduates who can understand the risks involved in data security. With lucrative packages, data security has become the new professional direction for many students. Information Security specialisation will enable students to attain an in-depth knowledge of system and/or managerial aspects of information security, so that they can actively contribute to the prevention, detection and management of security threats, and/or the development of secured systems. It will also allow students with such ability to be easily identified by the IT industry. The main objective of this programme is to train students to become information security professionals for the high-end jobs in security industry.
