TIRUCHIRAPPALLI ‐ 620 015

SCOPE AND OBJECTIVE OF THE PROGRAMME

Many research techniques are widely used by various researchers for solving the problems. The course aims to impart knowledge on advanced research techniques, modeling and simulation of scrutiny process using various softwares and algorithms. The course content is deliberately configured such that it will be useful for the faculty of engineering colleges, pursuing research work and would be highly benefited with the exposure of advances in research techniques. This induction training programme will be worthwhile for the engineering college teachers to intersperse the knowledge obtained from this programme to the student community. The course is planned with theory as well as hands on training on each optimization tool.
The objectives of this induction training programme are to cover the following topics:

COURSE CONTENT

∗ Artificial Neural Networks
∗ Genetic Algorithm
