Optimus Systems and Product Engineering (AI-enabled), Semesters 3 to 6, Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering. Anything not answered here goes to the Skill Lab point of contact or your HOD, listed at the bottom of this page.
Internships sit outside the Skill Lab programme, so write to the Skill Lab point of contact with your semester, your signed-off problems and your capstone.
Four graded capstones across the programme: Battery Monitor v1, Battery Monitor v2, Smart Always-On Sensing Node v1 and Always-On Sensing Node v2.
Semesters 5 and 6 put you on the VAMAN eFPGA writing Verilog, which is the digital-design track inside this programme; anything beyond that goes to the Skill Lab point of contact.
Stipends are not part of this programme and are not decided here, so ask the Skill Lab point of contact.
The programme makes no job promise and hiring runs as a separate process, so ask the Skill Lab point of contact.
No salary figure or perk is stated or implied by this programme, so ask the Skill Lab point of contact.
No placement guarantee comes with the programme; ask the Skill Lab point of contact about openings.
Embedded and firmware engineering, board bring-up and diagnostics, communication and protocol work, and Edge AI or TinyML deployment.
Check with the Skill Lab point of contact first, because courseware and project material carry usage terms.
Ask your HOD first, and the Skill Lab point of contact for anything on the OptimusLogic side.
A four-semester skill programme, Semesters 3 to 6, in which you build one continuously evolving engineering system.
35 contact hours per section, 20 connected problems and one graded capstone in every semester.
Semester 3 reads and processes, Semester 4 communicates, Semester 5 accelerates, Semester 6 predicts.
No, each problem builds a block the capstone needs, so they run as one connected sequence.
Electronics and Communication Engineering, delivered across Semesters 3, 4, 5 and 6, starting with Semester 3.
Eligibility is set by the college, so ask your HOD.
Each semester is activated by the college separately, so ask your HOD which components your batch is enrolled in.
Automotive battery health monitoring in Semesters 3 and 4, and always-on sensing with Edge AI in Semesters 5 and 6.
Through the BMSCE Skill Development Cell and your department; your HOD confirms the section and schedule.
Arduino Uno built on the Microchip AVR ATmega328P in Semesters 3 and 4, and the VAMAN board in Semesters 5 and 6.
A board carrying a QuickLogic EOS S3 with an Arm Cortex-M4F and an embedded FPGA, plus an ESP32 for wireless.
No, 25 kits are supplied to the department as shared laboratory resources.
Arduino Uno, voltage divider, current sensor, thermistor, MCP2515 CAN module, serial EEPROM, 16x2 LCD, LEDs, buzzer, buttons, breadboard and consumables.
Kit scheduling and access are decided by the department, so ask your HOD.
Spare boards are kept ready for replacement during the semester and through the warranty period.
Check the bench arrangement for your section with the Skill Lab point of contact.
Embedded C on the Arduino, Verilog on the VAMAN eFPGA, and TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers for on-device models.
Models are INT8 quantized within a 50 KB flash budget, and the curriculum targets 30 KB to keep margin.
Per-problem sign-off, the capstone evaluation, and your attendance and marks.
Your deliverable must keep running everything you built in the previous semesters, and that demonstration carries marks.
On the OptimusLogic LMS, which every enrolled student can access.
Nothing is payable by you for LMS access.
An individual student report, a section-wise report and a department capability report.
Speak to your HOD and the lab instructor, since attendance and make-up sessions are handled by the department.
One international certificate anchors each of the four semesters.
Microchip University for Semesters 3, 4 and 6, and Edge Impulse, a Qualcomm company, for Semester 5.
Analog and battery design, CAN and CAN FD networking, Edge AI fundamentals, and an embedded systems learning path of twelve courses.
No examination fee, licence fee or per-seat charge is payable by you.
No, the coursework runs in the browser and needs no hardware purchase.
No, these are course-completion certificates from international semiconductor-industry brands.
80% or above on the end test, with unlimited retries.
The award rests with the provider and depends on your own completion of the coursework.
A substitute certificate of comparable standing from an equivalent international provider is proposed, at no cost to you.
Write to the Skill Lab point of contact for anything technical or programme-related, and to your HOD for enrolment, credit, attendance and scheduling.
Programme, hardware, LMS and certificate questions go to OptimusLogic. Enrolment, credit, attendance and scheduling go to the department.
This FAQ describes the Skill Lab programme only. It states no placement, salary or employment outcome. Certificate terms are set by the issuing provider and are re-verified before every cohort enrols.
