Admission Open for MTech @ Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham
Academics
Computational Engineering is a broad, rapidly growing multidisciplinary area tha encompasses applications in science/engineering, applied mathematics, numerical analysis, and computer science. Going from application area to computational results requires domain expertise, mathematical modeling, numerical analysis, algorithm development, software implementation, visualization and validation of results.
Computational Engineering makes use of the techniques of applied mathematics and computer science for the development of problem-solving methodologies, which will be the building blocks for solutions to scientific engineering problems of ever-increasing complexity. It differs from mathematics or computer science in that analysis and methodologies are directed specifically at the solution of problem classes from science and engineering, and will generally require a substantial collaboration from those disciplines.
On the other hand, it is certainly more than using software packages to generate and visualize the results, since it also concerns the development of algorithms for solving scientific and technical problems. Today, many problems in science and engineering can be treated only by means of efficient use of computers. Computation is now regarded as an equal and indispensable partner, along with theory and experiment, in the advancement of scientific knowledge and engineering practice. Numerical simulation enables the study of complex systems and natural phenomena that would be too expensive or dangerous, or even impossible, to study by direct experimentation.
Fellowship is awarded to meritorious students on the condition that they satisfy the criteria set by the centre.

Student Testimonials
"I am an alumni of CEN; I completed my M Tech in Computational Engineering in 2012. My time at Amrita was a very different experience, especially the guidance of our beloved Soman Sir, which nurtured my interest into research in the fields of signal processing and optimization. After completing my Masters, I moved to New Zealand where I started exploring opportunities for pursuing my research interests. My PhD thesis supervisor at Victoria, impressed by the research that I carried out under the guidance of Soman Sir, agreed to supervise me for Doctoral research. I was also fortunate to get my research funded using the coveted Victoria Doctoral Scholarship. The scholarship is highly competitive and awarded mainly based on academic credentials and the quality of publications. I could get this scholarship primarily because of the publications from the research work done with Soman Sir." Read More »

"From my day one in CEN, I came to know a lot of people with full energy and enthusiasm towards research. CEN is a big family under the roof of outstanding professor Dr. Soman K.P, our dearest Soman sir. I learned many things from CEN. The syllabus we had was cutting edge. I was trained in writing technical papers and publications and also experienced many new technologies from here. I got a lot of opportunities and worldwide exposure here. The faculty and staffs were very supportive and are top rated. CEN played a major role in shaping my career. I really believe it is a privilege to be a part of CEN department."
Amitha V., Software Developer, Schwbisch Gmnd, Germany
"CEN gave me step-by-step guidance on how to build my machine learning skills and master the state of the art machine learning problems. All the teachers and staffs are very friendly and its a great place for students who have a passion to work on current research problems."
Anil Ramachandran, PhD Student, Centre for Pattern Recognition and Data Analytics (PRaDA), Deakin University, Australia
"Center for Computational Engineering and Networking (CEN) enlightened my life in so many ways, and opened up employment opportunities.I have chosen Natural Language Processing and Cognitive Learning as core subject in my master degree.I like the hands-on approach of the courses at CEN because it has taken my learning beyond theory. I have learned to apply my knowledge through experiences like publishing research paper's, working with extremely talented Mathematicians and professors and also continuous participating in Artificial intelligence challenges.Thank you CEN!"
Rahul Venkatesh Kumar, Cognitive Engineer AI, Smart Dubai Government , United Arab Emirates
"I started my M.Tech program in Amrita University without knowing much about Computational Engineering and Networking (CEN). But now, I realize that the two years in CEN had really prepared me for a career in Artificial Intelligence. The interdisciplinary nature of the academic programs in CEN which includes Machine learning, Deep Learning, Remote Sensing, Image Processing, Big Data Analytics etc. and the research atmosphere is the highlight of the department. Unlike other post graduate programs, learning at CEN is really different. Apart from the classroom lessons, we had numerous workshops, paper presentations, seminars which helped me to nurture the latest trends in technology. The excellent faculty, having expertise in various backgrounds gave me proper guidance to learn. I am proud to be a part of the CEN family. My areas of interest includes Image processing, Machine learning, Deep learning, Natural Language Processing."
