Applied Science & Humanities

The Humanities section of the Department offers core courses in English Language, Professional Communication, and Industrial Management. Keeping pace with the specific industrial demands, the section has also introduced Industrial Economics & Principles of Management, Organizational Behaviour including Interpersonal & Group Processes and Dynamics, with courses as diverse as Value Education.


The Applied Mathematics section offers courses to UG and PG students of various engineering disciplines and caters to their needs in the areas of Applied Mathematics, Computational Techniques, and Computer Applications. Besides core courses in Engineering Mathematics up to IVth Semester and Computer-Based Numerical and Statistical Techniques, it also offers an elective course in Optimization Techniques for the final year students and a laboratory course in Numerical Techniques specifically designed to meet the requirements of the industry in the area of computer applications.


The Applied Chemistry section offers a curriculum exhibiting an advanced level of understanding of the principles of chemistry and their applications to problem-solving in Chemical engineering. The section offers courses in Engineering Chemistry and Environmental Science including Polymers, Engineering Materials, Waste Water Chemistry, Lubrication, and Instrumentation. The Chemistry Lab is equipped with Spectrophotometric, Viscometric & pH-metric Analysis Setups, De-Mineralizer Plant, Electronic Chemical Balances, Electric Oven, Distillation Plant, Melting Point Apparatus and Suction Pump Setup, etc.

The Applied Sciences & Humanities Department being one of the oldest departments provides facilities for students to do research-oriented projects in Applied Sciences. The department has identified some key areas for growth which include Semiconductor & Opto-physics, Laser Technology, Polymers, Waste Water Chemistry, Applied Mathematics, and Computational Techniques. The humanities section offers core courses in English Language, Professional Communication, and Industrial Management. Keeping pace with the specific industrial demands, the section has also introduced Industrial Economics & Principals of Management of Science, Organizational Behavior including Interpersonal & Group Processes and Dynamics, along with courses as diverse as Value Education

Mathematics is the foundation of all engineering is given special attention. Typical problems are solved in specially designed tutorials using mathematical tools like numerical analysis, fuzzy logic, artificial intelligence, and combinatorial analysis, etc. Besides certain mathematical algorithms are studied in detail and applied to construct mathematical models for various engineering problems and their analysis. Some of the important equipment available in the physics laboratory are four-probe & Hall-Effect setups for Solid-State Applications, B-H Curve & Conductivity setups for Material Science Applications, and He-Ne laser for Optical Applications. Chemistry lab is fully equipped with Spectrophotometer, Viscometer & ph-metric Analysis Setups, De-Mineralizer Plant, Electronic Chemical Balances, Electric Oven, Distillation Plant, Melting Point Apparatus and Suction Pump Setup, etc.

The future technocrats are also exposed to critical issues related to the environment, enhancing their innovative thinking. Gray areas like environmental pollution, climate change, increasing industrialization, global warming are discussed through class lectures and fieldwork. Awareness is created among the students about their surroundings so that they can take the responsibility to solve the environmental problems of this planet.
