About us

Department of Science and Humanities has been effectively functioning

since 2001. The Department is unstintingly committed to its basic

principles of imparting knowledge and preparing the students towards

achieving academic excellence through acquisition of core competence

in science and humanities, and be successful as engineering

professionals.

Department of Science and Humanities encompasses Mathematics,

Physics, Chemistry, English and foreign language courses being offered

to all engineering students. Apart from offering mandatory foundation

courses in basic sciences, it also offers courses in English and other

foreign languages to enrich communication skills and enhance their

employability.

The teaching methodology for the courses and laboratory curriculum

is regularly upgraded and aligned to meet to the growing demands and

the challenging trends of the modern day industry and research.

Department Vision

To be a education provider in Science and Humanities with emphasis

on Excellence in Academic and Research for the benefit of Society

Department Mission

Impart fundamental knowledge in science for understanding

advancements in engineering and technology

Provide students with linguistic competence in chosen language and

improve communication skill for personal or professional purposes

Develop intellectual atmosphere in science and humanities for

professional development

To inculcate human values and professional ethics among students

for building healthier society


Welcome to Department of Science and Humanities (SH), dedicated to

ensuring great learning experience to its students. The Department is

striving hard towards the goal of providing

innovative and quality education with high

standard to achieve academic excellence

through its dedicated and friendly teaching

faculty. The department has remained true to

the vision on which it was founded. We are

committed to imparting essential

fundamental knowledge in Mathematics,

Physics, Chemistry, Communicative English,

and Professional Ethics to every engineering

student for successful career. The

Department facilitates students to achieve excellence in other

professional areas, which primarily include professional ethics,

communication skills & technical writing leading to placement. The

Department has resourceful faculty promoting English language with

the sole purpose of giving ample opportunity for improving their

communication skills among students. Today’s global requirement

places English Communication skills as one of most critical and crucial

factor in making the students employable. The Department offers

intense training in spoken English using the Language Lab facilities.

The Language Learning Center has various accessories to enhance

listening and speaking skills of the students. The Language Learning

Center is well equipped with audio and visual aids and self-study

materials. All our faculty members engage in research activity. We

encourage students to be part of our interdisciplinary research activity

and get recognized.

Come and Join GAT, and be part of our journey of attainment

Wishing you all Good Luck

Message from HOD


Engineering Graduates will be able to:

[1] Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics,

specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.

[2] Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature,

and analyze complex engineering problems reaching

substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics,

natural sciences, and engineering sciences.

[3] Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for complex

engineering problems and design system components or processes

that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for

the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and

environmental considerations.

[4] Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based

knowledge and research methods including design of experiments,

analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the

information to provide valid conclusions.

[5] Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate

techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools

including prediction and modeling to complex engineering

activities with an understanding of the limitations.

[6] The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the

contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and

cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the

professional engineering practice.

[7] Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of the

professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental

Program Outcomes [ PO’s]


contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for

sustainable development.

[8] Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics

and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.

[9] Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual,

and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in

multidisciplinary settings.

[10] Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering

activities with the engineering community and with society at

large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective

reports and design documentation, make effective presentations,

and give and receive clear instructions.

[11] Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and

understanding of the engineering and management principles and

apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team,

to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.

[12] Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the

preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long

learning in the broadest context of technological change.
