MSIT-Curriculum

This is a proposal to integrate Search-Engine story into MSIT curriculum.

In the II-Mini students are posed with the problem to build THIS (The Hindu Information System) and thus learn and implement algorithms and data-structures.

From the III Mini, students learn several aspects such as UI, DB etc, which can applied to THIS - thus THIS could act as linking story across the several minis.

Following are a few points top-off my head weaving THIS over several minis.

We can have the courses with the toy-problems specific to each course, but THIS could be the actual-project where they are supposed to implement many of these concepts during the last 1-2 days of each week.

  • II Mini:
    • Algos. and DS for THIS
  • III Mini:
    • User Interface (application to THIS)
    • Computer Graphics (?)
  • IVMini:
    • Databases for THIS (inverted index files in THIS could be stored/retrieved using databases)
    • Advance Programming (perl/phyton for text processing andnatural language query in THIS)
  • V Mini:
    • Data Mining (Text categorization, Query expansion in THIS)
    • Computer Networks (Client - Server Implementation for THIS)
  • VI Min:
    • Practicum
  • II Year, I Mini:
    • SE Foundation (Design aspects for THIS)

hi,
This is a great plan , but all the projects will be related with the THIS.

Do you think that mentioning THIS, the only project in the resume will attract the companies to hire MSIT.

As presently we have a large sets of projects mentioned, in which we have worked and all were really liked by the companies all over.

I do not thing working on the same project , different parts will get such a response.
