About the Department
DEPARTMENT INTRODUCTION
Department of Science and Humanities offers courses of study on basic Physical Science, Chemistry, Mathematics and English language during the first year of the four year course in Engineering and Technology. Students perusing Engineering courses should undergo study of basics in sciences, since Engineering is nothing but the application of science. Mathematics is the language for studying science and Engineering and hence its importance. Study of English, an international language, helps the students to improve the language skill both in writing and communication.
Such courses offered in the department are designed and conducted in such a way that the requirements for meeting the challenges in the field of professional study such as engineering and technology is met with and the students are inducted easily into such courses. The department of Science and Humanities, in fact, lays a solid foundation for studying Engineering and Technology.
This department was established with a view to consolidating basics of sciences and English language. The courses have been designed to strengthen the fundamental principles to enable the students comprehend the core engineering subjects. The conceptual learning in these subjects is enhanced through practical lab sessions. As part of English language teaching, life skills are imparted enabling the students to improve their marketability and employability. The department has a well established multimedia language lab with advanced licensed software to equip the students to be effective communicators.
