01 About Department

Established in 2007, the Department of Basic Sciences & Humanities imparts Engineering Applied Physics, Engineering Applied Chemistry, Applied Mathematics, English & Social Science as subjects to the under graduate students of Engineering. Together, Departments have faculty of twenty ninemembers with four professors, two Associate Professor and twenty three Assistant Professor. Faculty members in the Department are Doctorate, Master in Philosophy , SET qualified and Post Graduates in the field of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, English & Social Science. Most of them are pursuing the doctoral research. The department has well-equipped laboratories viz. Applied Physics, Applied Chemistry as practical assignments also form a major part of the curriculum.

Key Strengths:-

The excellent coordination among the faculties in the department gives it the strength to work with a team spirit.

Well Equipped Laboratories, The department has well-equipped laboratories viz. Applied Physics, Applied Chemistry as practical assignments also form a major part of the curriculum.
Research Oriented Faculty, Eight faculties are doctorate and Two faculties are pursuing Ph.d and motivate the students towards research and help them in various projects.
Responsible Role in Discipline, Discipline is one of the most important characteristics to achieve success in any chosen field. It is really essential that every student learns discipline. The coordinators are regularly observing the students and make them compulsory to attend the college by follow all the college and department disciplines.
Collaborative Work, The excellent coordination among the faculties in the department gives it the strength to work with a team spirit. The faculty members of the department are well experienced to handle teaching effectively.
Advance Teaching Learning Process, During teaching learning process audio visual tools are used, provide power point presentation of each subjects to the students for easy to understand and for difficult topics faculty uses NPTL videos.
Mentor Mentee, Teacher guardian scheme (TG) is to establish link in between students & parents so that there developed healthy Teacher- Student relationship. The teacher should act as a mentor, guide and philosopher. The teachers should interact constantly and keep themselves in contact with the students always so that problem of students regarding educational, socioeconomically, health related and family related could be sort out and most possible help can be rendered to the students. TG Mentoring is an academic family which looks forward for the betterment of the students.

Major part of Basic Science & Humanities Department:-

1. Applied Physics
2. Applied Chemistry
3. Applied Mathematics
4. Humanities

Applied Mathematics:-

Applied Mathematics also plays a major part in the curriculum of first year B.E., Applied Mathematics – I and Applied Mathematics – II are two papers under this head. These subjects are common for all branches in first year course. The departmental faculty also teaches Applied Mathematics-III and Applied Mathematics-IV to the students of third and fourth semester of all branches of Engineering.

The staff members are encouraged to improve their qualifications by registering for M. Phil and Ph.D. programmes. The department has experienced teachers who inculcate knowledge and interest amongst students to their best.

Engineering Applied Physics:-

Applied Physics, being a subject at the first year level for all branches plays a major role in the Basic Science Department. The Department has experienced teachers who are always at hand to clear the queries of students. The teachers are well versed with the academic needs of the students and their efforts are always directed towards fulfilling the same. In addition to solving the difficulties of students academically, the faculty members also work towards inculcating an interest level towards the subject.

Engineering Applied Chemistry:-

The faculty members of Applied Chemistry Department teach various topics related to the field Engineering & also take up practicals for under graduate students of Engineering. Meeting queries of inquisitive minds is their sole focus, performing untiringly to enrich students with their experience. The teaching staff of the Department is actively engaged in research and obtained Ph.D.

Humanities:-

Engineers are vital addition towards societal development. English is an international language in demand. Fused together, they make an important combination for the field of Engineering. The faculty members of this department teach English and Social Science to B.E. first year and try make the knowledge suitable to need-of-the–hour.

Laboratories:-

Applied Physics & Applied Chemistry labs are being managed by this Department for providing adequate practical training. They are fully established with necessary equipments.

03 Program Outcomes

Engineering Graduates will be able to:

Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.
Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.
Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.
The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.
Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.
Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.
Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.
Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
