Engineers at the Samsung R&D Institute in Bengaluru will work on collaborative research projects with students and faculty at KLEIT
A program to impart training and learning in areas such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, coding, programming and data science
Samsung R&D Institute Bangalore (SRI-B) has opened the Samsung Innovation Campus at KLE Institute of Technology (KLEIT) in Hubli to enhance the skills of youth in future technology areas such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, coding, programming and data science. This initiative reinforces Samsung's commitment to the government's Skill India initiative as part of its #PoweringDigitalIndia vision.
In the classroom facilities, KLEIT students and faculty will work on advanced technology training as well as projects in areas such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, programming, coding and data science to make students industry-ready. By integrating technology, core software skills and emerging capabilities, the program seeks to enable participants to grow into well-rounded professionals.
In addition, the initiative also aims to program faculty development through mentorship from SRI-B, bridging the gap between industry and academia.
Mr. Mohan Rao Jolly, Chief Technology Officer, SRI-B along with Prof. Rajesh Hegde, Dean (R&D) at IIT Dharwad, inaugurated the Samsung Innovation Lab at KLEIT, in the presence of Prof. Ashok Shettar, Vice Chancellor, KLE Technological University and other distinguished members included Mr. Srimanu Prasad, Head of Technology Strategy at SRI-B and Professor Sharad Joshi, Director of KLEIT.
“The aim of the Samsung Innovation Campus program is to contribute to the development of India by empowering the youth through education, training and development. Our partnership with KLEIT is a stepping stone towards creating a hub of innovation that highlights the potential of young people and coaches. This collaboration will not only enhance our R&D capabilities in emerging fields, such as AI, machine learning, big data, IoT, etc., but will also connect us to a pool of talent that will build innovative solutions to real-life problems. , He said Mohan Rao Jolly, Chief Technology Officer, Samsung R&D Institute, Bengaluru.
“By establishing this innovation centre, our students will gain invaluable insights into the challenges facing the industry and will learn to develop the technical skills to solve them. We are optimistic about our partnership with Samsung to contribute significantly to India’s progress in these important new technology areas which will empower India’s youth to make a difference.” positive. said Professor Ashok Shettar, Vice Chancellor, KLE Technological University.
Through this initiative, SRI-B plans to improve skills virtually. 100 students and professors annually at KLEIT. SRI-B is already working with four engineering colleges in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, partnering over 500 students on Artificial Intelligence, Coding, Programming, Internet of Things and Big Data courses. more than 100 students have already received their certificates of completion.
Engineers/scientists with knowledge in machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data science are in high demand. With the rise of artificial intelligence and machine learning, Samsung provides students with the tools they need to succeed in these growing fields. The Samsung Innovation Campus curriculum is designed to help close the skills gap and provide opportunities for students to grow in their job roles.
Samsung Innovation Campus serves as a hub for students and professors to work with SRI-B experts enabling them to gain an in-depth understanding of technologies through hands-on exposure to solving real-world challenges using cutting-edge technologies.
Samsung Innovation Campus is the company's global citizenship program that aims to bridge competency gaps in the country by training students in cutting-edge technology. Samsung has so far set up eight Samsung Innovation Labs at IIT-Delhi, IIT-Kanpur, IIT-Hyderabad, IIT-Kharagpur, IIT-Roorkee, IIT-Guwahati, IIITDM-Kurnool and IIT-Jodhpur as part of its Samsung Innovation Campus programme. . These laboratories have so far trained more than 1,000 students.
