About:

The Department of Science & Humanities was established in 1984 and is headed by Prof. Mrs. Sundary S. Prabavathy. The department has committed faculties with rich teaching and research experiences.

The department is a foundation stone on which all the four branches of engineering courses offered by the institute stand. It has well equipped laboratories for Physics, Chemistry, Communications skills and Mathematics. The department always takes initiative in organizing number of activities like Fr. CRCE National level Annual Debate, Rotract Club, NSS, TEDx, Frag Mag (Annual Magazine), Inter-collegiate Sports and Technomania (Technical Festival).

Vision:

To educate the students with basic knowledge for their practical uses in day to day lives.

Mission:

To produce skillful engineers who can serve the society at the best.

Program Outcomes [POs]:

Engineering Graduates will be able to

Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.

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.

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 public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.

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.

Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling of complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.

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.

Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and the need for sustainable development.

Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.

Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.

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.

Project Management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.

Life-long learning: Recognized the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.

Language Lab

Good communication skills are indispensable for the success of any professional. English language has become essential in the lives of young people who aspire to advance their career anywhere in the world. English language learning has therefore become a must for any Indian student today. Reading, writing, listening and speaking: This four skills have to be practiced thorougly. Being able to communicate well is the most important factor when seeking a placement in a company or institution.

Our language laboratory plays an important role in the language learning process. As it is a technological aid for learning, it has a number of advanced facilities that can help a student to learn a language with proficiency to communicate. The language laboratory is designed to assist learners in the acquisition and maintenance of aural comprehension, oral and written proficiency and cultural awareness.
