FOREWORD
It gives me immense pleasure to introduce the students of
Interdisciplinary School of Scientific Computing (ISSC) for their
Industrial Training and Placement Programme at the M. Sc.
(Scientific Computing).
Students undergo full time industrial training during
fourth semester. This batch will go for training from January
2020 to June 2020
The uniqueness of the syllabus makes our students well
versed with the core concepts of computing as well as gives
them an exposure to the current technologies. Given an
opportunity, they will prove themselves to be assets to your
organization. Looking forward to a favorable interaction.
Dr. Smita Bedekar,
Director, ISSC

ABOUT THE SCHOOL
There is now hardly an area of science or engineering that
does not use computers for calculations, experimentation, and
modeling. Problems in these areas are reduced to systems of
differential or linear equations. These systems are then solved
using numerical techniques, which are more dependent on the
system than the domain of the problem but these systems come
in all sizes and shapes. Solving them stretches the available
computer resources to their limits. Solution Viz. strange arrays
of number cannot be understood unless proper visualization
techniques are used. Data mining is necessary to use
information from large Chemical or Biological databases. Using
Mathematics and Statistics from a Machine learning
perspective to predict the next market movement or using the
data from the Large Hadron Collider to find a new particle. All
this has led to development of Scientific Computing as a
discipline in its own right. This discipline draws on domain
knowledge from Sciences and Engineering, and technology from
Computer Science to develop the best way to solve such
challenging problems.
Interdisciplinary School of Scientific Computing was
founded in 1994 to address the need of training and research
5
in the field of Scientific Computing. It is a unique school of its
kind in the country and one of the few schools in the world.
Interdisciplinary School of Scientific Computing has established itself as one of the premier institutes to offer a first
of its kind two-year Interdisciplinary course at the post graduate level.
The M.Sc. programme trains students from a computer
science background in scientific computing. This programme
attempts to strike a balance between training in Sciences and
Computer Science. It emphasizes on fundamentals of a subject and prepares students to absorb specific technologies when
required. M.Sc. scientific computing students have opportunities in the IT industry or research.

PROJECTS 2018-19
Project Title Constellation Finder Team Size 1 Platform Linux Technologies MATLAB, Python Description • The project can be broadly viewed as a method to
transform data in discrete form to some geometric form.
• As a black box, the machine takes, as its input, some raw data and a shape/function and outputs the shape superimposed on the data such that the control points of the shape corresponds to some data unit in the raw data.
• The raw data is eventually converted into a matrix (by finding its equivalent binary) of 0s and 1s. This matrix serves as a canvas with dots for us to connect them and find the desired shape.
Project Title Self-Driving Vehicle Team Size 4 Platform Linux, Windows Technologies C, Python Description • The vehicle is a prototype of a Self-Driving car
which is built using Arduino UNO, Ultrasonic Sensor, DC motors and a Bluetooth module.
• The vehicle detects and avoids the obstacles in its way.
• There is an android application to handle the vehicle remotely which connects to the vehicle using Bluetooth.
