Mathematics:

Mathematics is the language of engineering. It caters to all disciplines of engineering. It is essential to understand how mathematics works in order to master the complex relationships present in modern engineering systems and products. Mathematics provides clarity and precision to vague and intuitive ideas. Modeling of physical processes can also be done using mathematics. In the undergraduate courses, mostly post calculus topics are covered viz., Differential equations, Multiple integrals, Fourier series, Fourier transforms, Laplace transforms, Vector calculus, Numerical methods etc.

Discrete mathematics and mathematical logic lie at the heart of any modern study of computer science. Computer Engineering, Information Technology and M.C.A. students are given courses in Discrete Mathematical Structures to fulfill these needs.

The department takes special care in helping the students in overcoming their difficulties of mathematics and convincing them the importance of the subject in their professional life. The department also interacts with the students and faculty of all other departments in giving suggestions and solutions to their problems involving mathematical applications.

Humanities:

Department offers Management and Humanities oriented courses as Institute Electives to the students of B.Tech. Semester of VI, VII and VIII. The courses presently offered are Entrepreneurship Development, Human Resource management, Elements of Marketing Management, Introduction to Accounts and Probabilities and Statistics etc. These courses facilitate student of engineering to get an understanding & insight of Management related subjects, which will be helpful to them in their future career.

The Department offers courses on Communication Skills in English, Engineering Economics, Business Management and Industrial Management. There is no gainsaying the fact that the students of engineering need to improve their communication skills in order to survive in the globalized economic scenario. They are called upon to interact with people of different regions, languages and nationalities. A sound knowledge of the practice in communication skills in English will go a long way in helping them to share their experience with others.

To facilitate self-learning of students for various subjects such as English, Communication Skills, Personality Development etc. the Department makes use of the software “Digital Mentor”. The language laboratory is equipped with sixty computers and students have intensive practice in communication skills.

Engineering Economics and Business Management (EEBM) is an important subject offered by the Department of Humanities. An in-depth study of Economics and Business Management is essential for them because the students can imbibe the basic knowledge of both micro economics and macro economics such as demand analysis, computation of national income according to different methods such as income method, product method and expenditure method, demand forecasting techniques both for new products and for established products, repercussions of economic planning in India, the utility of Break-Even Analysis to the corporate sector in evaluating the economic viability of various projects and basic knowledge of managements such as planning, organization, directing, co-ordination , human resource management etc. will also help the engineering students to study the ways and means by which corporate performance can be enhanced by bringing accountability and transparency to boost the interest of all the stakeholders.
