DEPARTMENT OF UG STUDIES & APPLIED SCIENCES

The Department is in existence since the year 2002. At the forefront of the other disciplines of engineering studies, Applied Science and Humanities Department with a dedicated team of highly qualified and experienced professionals is committed to serve the needs of various branches of Engineering by providing a favourable environment. The students are motivated to utilize their potential for self-development in various aspects of life. The Department promotes the applied nature of Sciences and Humanities for developing a sustainable foundation as part of the Engineering Education. The department prepares students for core engineering branches by educating them in the basic sciences of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics apart from Computer Aided Drawing during their  first year. Environmental studies make our students conscious of the environment. English Communication skills, which are an integral part of the syllabus, strive to produce graduates of international repute with effective communication skills, soft skills and interpersonal skills. It also helps in the students getting the necessary confidence during placements.

OUR VISION

• To lay a strong foundation for the first year students of the engineering discipline in the area of Applied Sciences and Humanities with a view to make them capable of innovating and inventing engineering solutions and also develop students as capable and responsible citizens of our nation.

OUR MISSION

• To create and disseminate the knowledge and techniques in intellectual areas at the interferences between areas of engineering and other core areas of Applied Science and Humanities for the betterment of eco-system.
• To inculcate the importance of applied science and develop a natural flair for engineering and technology which in turn could mould the students into a competent professional.
• To be recognized for practicing the best teaching-learning processes for creating highly competent, resourceful and self-motivated young engineers for the benefit of society at large.

ACADEMIC & APPLIED SCIENCES

Applied science Department is emphasises on the application of scientific knowledge transferred into a physical environment. Examples include testing a theoretical model through the use of formal science, or solving a practical problem through the use of natural science. Fields of engineering are closely related to applied sciences. Applied science is important for technology development.The basic sciences are very important subjects in the field of engineering and they form a good base for four year degree engineering Programme of different branches.

The department of Physics was established in the year 2002. The motto of the department is to provide quality education. The department also focuses on teaching engineering Physics theory and laboratory courses to students of all branches of engineering. The department aims in equipping the future engineers with various aspects of Physics. The engineering Physics laboratory is well furnished with the latest equipment and contain all the necessary facilities.

The department highly encourages students to keep themselves abreast of new trends in science and technology. The department has well qualified, experienced and highly motivated faculty members. Faculty members are involved in various research and development activities in frontier areas such as thin films, glass composite materials and nano-materials and have published papers in reputed international journals. Overall, the department offers a high conducive research atmosphere.

The Chemistry Department was established in the year 2002 and has been actively involved in teaching and  implementation of new concepts of Chemistry to the undergraduate,postgraduate and Ph.D. students. The Department has dedicated, highly  qualified, experienced and dynamic faculty members.

The Department has well equipped Engineering Chemistry research laboratory is fully equipped with instruments and consumables. Besides, it is conducive to research.

The Department of Mathematics has been an integral part of our Institution since its inception in the year 2002. The major focus of the department is to inculcate analytical thinking in engineering students. For this core mathematics and elective course are taught to students at undergraduate and postgraduate level.

The department is active in research in areas of pure and applied mathematics, including algebra and number theory, analysis, discrete mathematics, geometry / topology, mathematical finance, numerical analysis, partial differential equations, probability, representation theory and time-series analysis.

The department faculty members have published many papers in national and international journals. In addition, the faculty members have also obtained extramural support to carry out research activities and projects have been sponsored by VTU, UGC, DST and TEQIP.

Applied science courses in the first year of an engineering program are crucial for establishing a solid foundation in fundamental scientific principles and mathematical concepts, which in turn are essential for not only advanced engineering studies but also to establish a career in the near future.rs. These courses help students develop analytical and problem-solving skills, understand the scientific basis of engineering applications and prepare them for the challenges of specialized engineering disciplines.

The rapid progression witnessed in fields such as medicine, military technology, space exploration, communications, automotive industry, liquid crystals, and nanotechnology underscores the remarkable growth of technology. Scientific research serves as the essential fuel driving this advancement. Therefore, engineering students must possess a solid foundational understanding of the chemistry and physics of materials, whether naturally occurring or synthesized. The fusion of science and technology has become imperative in today’s world, emphasizing the need to cultivate engineers capable of applying mathematical principles to tackle intricate engineering challenges

The Department of Academic & Applied Sciences, comprising Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry, offers diverse career opportunities. Physics graduates can work in aerospace, electronics, renewable energy and medical physics. Mathematics graduates are in demand in finance, data analytics, AI and cryptography. Chemistry graduates can pursue their career in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, environmental science and forensic science. Graduates can also explore roles in teaching, research, government agencies and interdisciplinary fields like nanotechnology and biomedical engineering. This in turn would equip them in innovation. 

➊ Research and Development: Students can engage in interdisciplinary research, working on projects in nanotechnology, material science, biomedical engineering and quantum computing.

➋ Sustainability and Innovation: The curriculum integrates sustainable practices and emerging technologies thereby preparing students to tackle environmental challenges and develop innovative solutions.
