Department of S & H

The Department of Science and Humanities was established in the academic year 1994-95 by offering the courses in Mechanical Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering and Computer Science & Engineering with the intake of 60 in each. Now, the department functions with six courses [Mechanical Engineering (2sections), Civil Engineering (2sections), Computer science & Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering and Electrical & Electronics Engineering] and total intake is 420. The Department has well-experienced and qualified teaching faculty members having specialization in English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Management. All the faculties have been trained by WIPRO to follow “Mission-10X innovative teaching methodologies” for educating the students.

The department has well equipped Physics, Chemistry, Computer and Communication and Soft Skills laboratories. Computer and Communication lab have been upgraded with new softwares to help the students to improve their language proficiency and keep in track with the new technologies. The department provides wireless high speed internet and network connections for the students to access internet at anytime inside the college and keep in pace academic and research work. The library of the department has a wide variety of books.

The faculty members are encouraged to go for higher studies and research. Further, the department encourages the staff members to present their research papers in conferences, guest lectures and through publications. The department had received a fund of Rs15,000 from TNSCST to conduct “One Day National Level Workshop on Ramanujan works” in 2014. Our staff got first and Second places in Zonal level in “ISTE Srinivasa Ramanujam Mathematical Competitive Examination” being held every year.

Around the world, employers are looking for people with better emotional skills, such as self-management, ability to work under stressful conditions, interpersonal skills as well as proficiency in communication, presenting ideas and negotiation. To achieve these parameters, our students are well trained by soft skill trainers with continuous assessment of personality as well as placement.

The students are given special attention on attendance as well as academic performance by allocating class advisors and counselors for them. The progress of students is being maintained in records individually. Special counseling is given for frail students at the time of university examinations by our staff members. Staff members who produce first-class results by their scrupulous counseling will be awarded with cash prize during annual day celebration.

The cadence of life touches right note when it blossoms with all colors. Every year, the institution celebrates annual day during spring season. The students who excel in academics and sports are awarded with cash prizes and momentos. The staff members also awarded with “Gold Rings” for producing excellent results in Anna University examinations and research works.

To encourage the faculty and student interaction, the department organizes various seminars, lectures, workshops, paper presentation and project contests, etc. Through these activities, students get an opportunity to interact with well-known personalities from the corporate world and the academia.

Programme Educational Objective [Major] To develop in-depth technical knowledge and practical skills in the application of broad elements leading to successful engineering design, raising engineering standards, overcoming realistic constraints and a systematic engineering process incorporating industry needs.
