INTRODUCTION
The training program on “Machine Learning in Python for Mechanical Engineers” is a part of a comprehensive approach to train students as a professional mechanical engineer. Keeping in mind the recent trends in the technological developments in mechanical engineering, this course was proposed by the Departmental faculty members and has been approved by the HOD, Department of Mechanical Engineering,MSIT. The objective of this program is to enhance the multidisciplinary knowledge and employment enhancement of the Mechanical Engineering students.
The main objective of the training program is to train our students in the field of artificial intelligence like Machine Learning (supervised & unsupervised). Mechanical engineering students having the domain knowledge as well as the AI model making definitely make them a complete understanding of the recent advancement of the field. Undergraduate students with a project on machine learning are definitely going to be benefited in the job market both in core industry as well as in IT industries.
Python has been selected as a programming language for learning this Data Science course and Google Colab was used as an online IDE. As such no prerequisites were there for this course. Python programming & important libraries were also part of this course.
Outcome of this course is that students will be able to handle big data. They will be able to learn the data exploration techniques to clean the raw data & select the suitable machine learning model with hyper-parameter tuning to effectively use the data analysis in the field of mechanical engineering.
Total 60 ME students were trained under Prof. Anirban Bose from 5th April to 30th April 2021 through an online course using Google Classroom and Google Colab platform. Out of sixty participants forty nine number of participants successfully completed the course.
Participants evaluate the training program to be very effective and informative. They have shown a great interest for such courses in future. Overall rating of the training is given around 4.5 in a scale from 1 to 5.
