INTRODUCTION Importance of Basic Sciences & Humanities to Engineering Students MATHEMATICS PHYSICS CHEMISTRY COMMUNICATION SKILL SUMMARY

NTRODUCTION � Basic Science and Humanities supports efficiently the Engineering Department by providing quality training to students. � Efforts to strengthen the foundation of every student is taken care of to make them ready in solving real life problems. � Engineering as a stream of study demands all the basic knowledge of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and ignoring these streams can never make a perfect engineer. � The Humanities Department, plays a pivotal role in developing the Communication Skills of students, which is of prime importance to the industry.

MATHEMATICS � Mathematics, the queen of sciences is the basis for all branches of Science, Engineering and Technology. � Any complex ideas can be logically expressed by equations and formulae. � Mathematics itself is a language through which difficult problems can be addressed.

PHYSICS � Physics is an important subject to understand concepts of engineering and technology. � The experiments in course of practical physics are designed to achieve definite quantitative results. � 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. � Physics experiments helps students in understanding the nature of science.

CHEMISTRY � The use of chemistry within the field of engineering can broadly be divided into two main areas: � The first area is concerned with the application of chemistry as the basis of power generating machinery, such as combustion engines, for example. � Knowledge of chemistry and chemical reactions is required in the design and subsequent production of such power generating equipment. � The second area of use is chemical engineering, where the main purpose is to transform raw materials into more valuable or useful forms.

COMMUNICATION SKILL � Good communication skills are indispensable for the success of any professional. � The English language has become essential in the lives of young people who aspire to advance their career anywhere in the world. � Language learning is not the same as learning any other subject. It is not confined to writing an examination and getting a degree and award. � The four skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking have to practiced. � Being able to communicate well is the most important factor when seeking a placement in an organization.

SUMMARY � This Department is devoted to foster the fundamental principles and understanding of science to enhance the student’s basic knowledge of Engineering. � Its objective is to provide value-based education to budding scientists and engineers. � Engineering as a stream of study demands the basic knowledge of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and ignoring these streams can never make a perfect engineer. � The English Language Lab through communication and soft skills training, enables students to prepare for life, in a globally competitive environment.
