Pioneer 
This programme is curated specially to address the need for jobs that demand skills in the area of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It encompasses the learning of AI, Computer and Engineering. By espousing these areas, students can expect to grasp a keen understanding of the technology, its history, functionality and challenges in the application of AI. This programme covers the core theoretical foundations and provides advanced algorithmic, statistical and computer engineering knowledge.
Essentially, students will be exposed to the design, modeling, analysis, and applications of AI through machine vision, language, signal processing and robotics. As students develop the adroitness in this field, gain new insights and smarter correlations, they will appreciate their transformation in the higher-order professional the industry needs.

About the ProgrammeÂ
The duration of the programme is 4 years.
In each year there are two long-semesters consisting of 14 weeks of instruction with 2 weeks of examinations, and one short-semester consisting of 7 weeks of instruction with 1 week of examinations. The long-semesters start in January and May, while the short-semester starts in September.
In the months of September to Decembers, students undergo industrial training under the Co-Operative Placement Scheme to learn and to familiarise themselves with real life working environment. In addition, students also undertake a research and development project in their final year.
The number of contact hours per courses per week depends on the credit and teaching methodology of each course. Each credit is approximately equivalent to 1 hour of class, or 2 hours of labs per week.
