DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE AND HUMANITIES
The Basic Science and Humanities department endeavors to integrate humanistic values with academic learning. The department lays down the basement for every student with vital ingredients   of engineering education to make the students help in shaping themselves. The department contributes to all core branches in enhancing the prime concepts through the basic sciences viz. Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Communication and life skills.

OBJECTIVES OF THE DEPARTMENT:
1. To develop a link between the basic concepts of Physics   and Engineering.
2. To inculcate the relevance of Chemistry in the area of Engineering Technology.
3. To give   focused attention to create engineers with strong mathematical background.
4. To improve communication skill of this students and hence enrich their self confidence.

DEPARTMENT VISION:

To train and develop the basic skill-sets which in turn facilitates the student in achieving academic excellence.
Committed to dynamically integrate the components of sciences, humanities and Engineering to groom the students to become globally acknowledged professionals.

DEPARTMENT OF MISSION:

To encourage the students to know the practical applications through practice.
To provide quality training and to shape our students to be readily deployable by the industries, to meet the growing demand for trained man-power in the intrinsic competitive knowledge industry.
To impart ethical values and leadership qualities in students which would transform them into superior human beings.

LAB FACILITIES:
A laboratory experiment offers an opportunity to the students to familiarize themselves with various instruments, which they read in theory and this finds application in industry, engineering and everyday life. Our department has well outfitted laboratories for Physics, Chemistry and Communication and Life Skills practicals.

Physics Laboratory:
Physics is an important subject to understand concepts of engineering and technology. Physics Lab is well equipped with latest devices and instruments for conducting the required experiments and to prepare the students to fit into the engineering field. The laboratory is spacious enough to accommodate more than 40 students to do practicals at a stretch. It is left open for the students with additional facilities to carry out innovative project work apart from regular practical classes. Well labeled charts and laboratory manuals displayed for all experiments facilitate easy reference and aid students to execute the experiments.

Chemistry Laboratory:

It is a neatly designed, spacious and well-ventilated laboratory including a store room for safe keeping of corrosive chemicals in view of the laboratory safety. Each working table in the laboratory is well furnished with reagent racks and well connected with water supply and burners. The students are trained both quantitatively and qualitatively during the lab sessions so that their understanding and problem solving abilities can be enhanced. It provides students with a practical approach towards the various techniques used in engineering application.

Life and Employability Skills Lab:

Objectives of the Lab:

To equip the students with effective speaking and listening skills in English.
To help them develop their soft skills and personality traits, which will make the transition from Polytechnic to workplace smoother and help them to excel in their jobs.
To enhance students' performance during placement interviews, Group Discussions and other recruitment exercises.

Language learning is not the same as learning any other subject. It is not confined to writing an examination and getting a degree. The four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing have to be practiced. Being able to communicate well is the most important factor when seeking a placement in a company or institution. The language laboratory plays an important role in this process.

Keeping the students’ subject area and career requirements in view, this Life and Employability Skills Laboratory has been designed to prepare students to adapt themselves with ease to the industrial environment. The lab equips the students with the necessary communication skills that would go a long way in helping them in their profession. The electronic devices used in the laboratory helps the students to acquire the language quickly and easily. The laboratory is designed to assist students in the acquisition and maintenance of aural comprehension, oral and written proficiency.
