Going Global India Exploratory Grants - Edge Analytics
Project Overview
Co-creating an Edge Analytics course with partners in the UK and India to equip engineers with skills in machine learning and IoT for edge devices while building long-term academic collaboration.
Due to increasing popularity of cloud and edge computing, edge analytics focuses on using machine learning and AI on user-owned devices. Short term benefits: engineers qualified to work on modern edge computing applications in the UK and India, economic benefit and student exchange, micro-credentials that can be offered online. Long term benefits: research collaboration between participating institutes, using research-based course content and use of online dedicated labs. The proposing faculty are experienced in this area. The course content will be co-created between UK and India (including engagement of students and industry) based on world-class course assessment frameworks. Course delivery will follow a hybrid offline/online model. Non-credit bearing content will be trialled with students at the three participating institutions. The proposing team has complementary expertise in complex systems and IoT (Cardiff), edge computing and sensor networks (IIT Ropar) and IoT analytics (IIIT Kottayam).
The course titled “Edge Analytics” was chosen understanding the demand and requirements raised from the participating organizations of the proposal. In fact, the market analysis manifested the necessity of organizing such a course due to the evolving demand from varied research domains such as healthcare, education, smart cities, governmental, social goodness, and so forth of the Indian/UK market. The potential students willing to travel to the UK/India were assessed for their preferences before validating the statement.
Based on the carefully identified partners for the proposal, we are self-assessed to deliver the best among the many other competitors for the proposed course. Due to the expertise of the team proposing the course and due to the huge market demand, we are confident that the course will generate significant interest among students and working professionals.
