At present Technical education is at a turning point. The knowledge industry now expects that in addition to the core topics of computer science its graduates should also develop an inherent capacity for liberal arts, an innovative mindset, ethical issues, life values and sustainability. The knowledge is not just confined to one domain; it is stretching its boundaries and has become interdisciplinary. India’s leading IT Service and Consulting Company – TCS with a few top engineering institutes of the country, is offering a four year specialized B.Tech course titled “Computer Science and Business Systems” (CSBS) to cater to the rising need of engineering talent with skills in technology. This state-of-art course aims to impart knowledge of cutting-edge technologies and business skills with hands-on exposure to make students industry-ready.
Emerging technologies like cyber security, machine learning, cloud computing, IoT and others must be an additional part of the curriculum to facilitate students be future-ready. In coming years the digital devices and information services brought to homes, businesses, institutions and individuals will experience huge growth. Also, we will observe increasingly deep, intellectual partnerships between computer science & engineering and other disciplines – from astronomy to zoology, with sociology, psychology and business acumen in between. The result will be a transformation of most disciplines including computer science and the journey has already begun.
A 2017 study by AICTE found that 60% out of the 8 lac Indian engineers, who graduate annually, remain unemployed. The same report also stated that 39% of employers were faced with the challenge of finding quality talent; representing the enormous gap that exists between skills and employability.
Need of Business Engineers
The need of the age is ‘business engineers’, a breed of engineering talent tuned to the needs of business. Apart from appreciating the technologies of the future – analytics, cognitive and machine learning topics – these graduates now need to understand concepts of business management as well, and have the ‘innovation’ mindset, to be considered as quality talent.
It was in this context that TCS Academic Interface Program (AIP) took the lead to design a B. Tech program in ‘Computer Science and Business Systems’, resulting in a program that will cover in 4 years what earlier students took 6 to 7 years across two different programs to learn.
The four-year B.E. /B. Tech course has already been launched at three reputed institutes across India (one each from East, West and Southern part of India) in the academic year 2018-19. Students have already enrolled and the academia has been trained by TCS to start the program.
It’s heartening that B.Tech in computer science and Business System (CSBS)—has been approved by AICTE and is available on in few top institutes of the country.
Through this program, TCS in partnership with leading Engineering colleges in India endeavors to help students get a core understanding of Contemporary Technology and Technology Abstraction, along with knowledge of common Business Principles & discipline. The elements of Design Thinking, Value Science and Innovation & Entrepreneurship, included in the curriculum will be of immense value in overall student development.
With a “Default is Digital” mindset and roadmap – the workforce revolution has begun! Good luck to the aspiring workforce of the future!
