FIRST SEMESTER 2017-2018
Course Handout (Part - II)
Date: 02/08/2017
In addition to part-I (General Handout for all courses appended to the time table) this portion gives
further specific details regarding the course.
Course No. : BITS F343
Course Title : FUZZY LOGIC & APPLICATIONS
Instructor-in-charge : CHANDRA SHEKHAR
1. Scope and objective of the course:
The aim of this course is two fold: 1. to provide a thorough understanding of the basics of this topic
which has important applications in almost all fields of study; 2. to bring the students face-to-face
with an application in some important area. To this end, every student is required to work on a project,
as part of the course, involving an application of Fuzzy Logic (preferably in the students own
discipline). The nature of the project could be study oriented, or computer-oriented, or simulation of a
system or design of a working model etc. (The scope of the project is limited only by the student’s
imagination, creativity, and vision). Further, the project work provides an opportunity to the students
to study Research Articles / Papers appearing in various journals and learn about the latest
developments in the applications of Fuzzy Logic.
