GIET Engineering Collge | Empowering Futures

Established in 2007, the Department of Humanities and Basic Sciences imparts foundational knowledge in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and English for Engineering education. Embracing the ethos of science and technology, the department believes that Engineering and Science inherently embody humanistic and socially derived principles. With a cadre of experienced faculty, the department is dedicated to nurturing a comprehensive understanding of these fundamental subjects.

English, being a global language, is integral to all aspects of life. Proficiency in English is paramount in the contemporary world. The department, equipped with adept faculty, a well-equipped language laboratory, and necessary infrastructure, ensures effective language skill development.

As the queen of sciences, Mathematics serves as the bedrock for all branches of Science, Engineering, and Technology. It provides a logical expression for complex ideas through equations and formulae, essentially functioning as a language to address intricate problems.

Physics, delving into the mysteries of nature, utilizes well-equipped laboratories for experiments involving light and various forms of energy. Chemistry, pivotal in manufacturing processes and environmental preservation, contributes to understanding material transformations and addressing global pollution concerns.

Recognizing the interconnectedness of science and engineering, the department advocates for a seamless merger, fostering interdisciplinary subjects. Introducing research work even at the undergraduate levels aims to cultivate a new generation of professionals and researchers poised to address evolving challenges.

Vision and Mission

Vision

To establish a centre of excellence in basic sciences such as Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry which provide foundation for engineering studies and also in communication skills that helps students to express themselves effectively and to create proficient engineers who can be globally challenged in engineering fundamentals – experimental, analytical, computational and designing abilities.

Mission

Keeping the core objectives to create academic excellence in fundamental sciences, the Department of Science and Humanities aims to encourage advanced teaching learning process and quality research at individual, department and institutional level. It also endeavours to build quality based knowledge and human resource capacity.
