Engineering Sciences & Humanities Department

The Engineering Sciences and Humanities Department plays a crucial role in providing a strong foundation in science, mathematics, and humanities to engineering students. This department typically offers courses during the first two semesters of undergraduate engineering programs. Its primary objective is to equip students with essential knowledge and skills that will be relevant throughout their engineering education and future professional careers.

Here are some key aspects of the Engineering Sciences and Humanities Department.

  • Subjects Covered: The department covers a range of subjects, including Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Physics, Engineering Chemistry, Engineering Mechanics, Basic Electrical Engineering, Engineering Drawing, C Programming, Professional Communication and Ethics and Workshop Practices. These subjects aim to develop analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, which are vital for engineering students.
  • Engineering Mathematics: Mathematics courses focus on concepts such as calculus, algebra, differential equations, probability, and numerical methods. A strong mathematical foundation is essential for engineering students as it underpins various engineering disciplines.
  • Engineering Physics and Chemistry: The physics and chemistry courses introduce fundamental principles and concepts that form the basis of engineering disciplines like mechanical, electrical, and chemical engineering. These courses provide students with a scientific approach to problem-solving.
  • Engineering Mechanics: Covers System of Coplanar forces, Equilibrium of Systems of Coplanar Forces, Friction, Kinematics of Particles and Rigid Body, Kinetics of Particles, etc.
  • Basic Electrical Engineering: It gives the knowledge on fundamentals of D.C. circuits and single phase and three phase AC circuits and its applications. It inculcates knowledge on the basic operation and performance of 1-Φ transformers. It provides knowledge on fundamentals of DC and AC machines.
  • C Programming: It gives exposure to problem-solving by developing an algorithm, flowchart and implementing the logic using C programming language.
  • Engineering Graphics : It inculcates the skill of drawing with the basic concepts. Demonstrate use of AutoCAD for daily working processes. It teaches basic utility of Computer Aided drafting (CAD) tools.
  • Teaching Methods: The department employs various teaching methods, including lectures, laboratory sessions, workshops, and group discussions. Practical sessions in labs allow students to apply theoretical knowledge and conduct experiments.
  • Faculty: The department comprises experienced faculty members specialized in various disciplines like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, English, and other humanities fields.
  • Evaluation: Students are evaluated through regular assessments, tests, assignments, and examinations. Continuous evaluation is often encouraged to gauge the students' progress effectively..
