UNIFIED PROJECTS
E
ach year, the third-year students of
the department are encouraged to
engage in a unified project. The aim
of this project is to integrate their knowledge
on embedded systems, network and web
application and computer and network
security with real-world applications. This
article is on some of the selected unified
projects.

and start riding and check the availability of
bicycles through the implemented mobile
app.

RESEARCH PROJECTS
T
he research projects
of the final year
undergraduates
are
a clear reflection of the
knowledge, skills, creativity
and the capabilities of the
students in the Department
at the end of the academic
programme. Each year, the
department
encourages
its final year students to
systematically investigate problems related
to computer engineering disciplines and
to contribute to the field of research. This
has paved the way for many innovative
and successful research publications.
Since computer engineering has a broad
scope, the department is able to produce
research projects in many areas. Some
of the most commonly targeted areas are
Software and Systems, Software Defined
Networks, Machine Learning and Data
Science, Embedded Systems and Computer
Architecture, Computer and Network
Security and GPU and High Performance
Computing. This article is on a selected set of
research projects conducted by the final year
students during last year.

Cricket is a popular sport that contains a large
amount of statistical data associated with it.
National teams and franchise club owners
continuously tend to improve their teams’
performance due to its high popularity and
competitiveness. Statistical models along
with advanced data mining techniques are
applied based on many aspects in order
to improve the performance of a team,
predict end results of a match and efficiently
handling constraints such as game rules
and budget. This research aimed at using
machine learning techniques to analyze
team-wise and player-wise performance and
their collaborative impact on a cricket team.
