Science & Humanities

ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

The Department of Science and Humanities consists of Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry and English disciplines. All the disciplines in this department exist as separate divisions and maintain individual identity. The Department comprises highly qualified, experienced and goal oriented members with specialization in various fields. The Department aims to provide value based education to the budding Engineers. Developing the moral behavior among the students, utilization of human resource and exemplary coordination in implementing the academic responsibility is the unique strength of the Department. The Department regularly organizes workshops, symposia and conferences in new emerging areas for the benefit of the students, researchers and industrialists.

VISION

To feed the budding Engineer with finer aspects of science and Humanities, which make him to understand, exploit and innovate, thus contributing to the technological advancement of tomorrow.

MISSION

To encourage the inquisitiveness in a student and make him to understand the fundamentals of technology.
To inform the student with the latest development in science so that can exploit it for development of technology
To imbibe in the student the idea that understanding of an atom is very essential to understand the universe.
To instigate the “researcher” in a student so that he could be an innovator or inventor of tomorrow

PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES
