FACILITIES

Chemistry Laboratory is a vital space for hands-on experimentation and research, where students apply theoretical concepts to practical problems. It is equipped with modern instruments and facilities for experiments. The lab fosters critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and safety protocols, preparing students for real-world applications in industries such as pharmaceuticals, energy, and environmental science. Through experiments and projects, students gain practical insights into chemical processes and develop analytical skills essential for engineering careers.

Individual Drawing Desks: Each student is provided with a separate drawing board and seating arrangement.

Teaching Aids: Whiteboards, smart boards, and projection systems for demonstrations.

Ergonomic Design: Proper seating posture and comfort ensured for long working hours.

Safety Measures: Adequate fire safety equipment, proper wiring, and ventilation.

The ED Hall serves as the nerve center for foundational engineering education, where students learn to convert ideas into technical drawings and develop visualization skills. The spacious and well-equipped hall encourages concentration, teamwork, and precision ensuring that students gain essential engineering skills for real-world applications.

Our Physics Laboratory is well-equipped to provide first-year engineering students with strong experimental learning. Students explore concepts through hands-on experiments such as Young’s Modulus, Torsional Pendulum, Laser, Solar Cell, and Ultrasonic Interferometer. The lab combines modern facilities with guided teaching to connect theory with practical application. It nurtures scientific thinking, accuracy, and problem-solving skills essential for future engineers.

Interactive classes

Interactive classes are a dynamic, student-centered approach to education that actively engages learners in constructing their own understanding. Rather than acting as passive recipients of information, students participate through hands-on activities, collaboration, and discussion. This model is designed to stimulate critical thinking, creativity, and deeper comprehension, moving beyond traditional lecture-based methods. Students are more interested and invested in the learning process when they are active participants. This hands-on approach helps overcome short attention span

Communication Skills Lab

  • Equipped with 90 modern computers and licensed language learning software.
  • Audio-visual aids including 90 headphones, microphones, and interactive panel.
  • Software for vocabulary building, and listening comprehension.
  • Group discussion, presentation, and interview practice modules.
  • Internet-enabled systems for research and e-learning.

The Communication Skills Lab is designed to enhance students’ proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It provides hands-on practice with language learning software, interactive activities, and real-time feedback. The lab equips students with essential communication skills for academic success and professional growth.

INNOVATIVE TEACHING

INNOVATIVE TEACHING METHODS APPLIED IN THE DEPARTMENT

Education in the humanities and sciences is evolving to meet the needs of 21st-century learners, fostering critical thinking, creativity, and interdisciplinary understanding. Traditional lecture-based teaching is being supplemented or replaced by innovative approaches that enhance engagement and improve learning outcomes.

  1. Active Learning and Flipped Classrooms

    Active learning shifts the focus from passive reception of information to active participation. In flipped classrooms, students engage with learning materials—such as videos, readings, or interactive content—before attending class, allowing class time to be used for discussion, problem-solving, and application.

  2. Problem-Based and Inquiry-Based Learning

    Problem-based learning (PBL) involves real-world scenarios where students collaboratively explore solutions. In the sciences, PBL fosters experimental thinking, while in the humanities, it sharpens analytical and interpretive skills.

  3. Interdisciplinary and Collaborative Approaches

    Blending humanities and sciences in a single curriculum fosters holistic education. Collaborative projects—such as those combining literature and artificial intelligence—explore human creativity in digital contexts and enrich students' perspectives.

  4. AI and Digital Technologies in Learning

    Artificial intelligence is transforming education by offering personalized learning pathways, automated assessments, and intelligent tutoring systems. Interactive digital platforms provide adaptive learning experiences that cater to diverse student needs.

  5. Mindfulness and Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)

    Integrating mindfulness practices and SEL into humanities and sciences fosters empathy, resilience, and ethical reasoning. In the humanities, reflective exercises enhance cultural and emotional awareness. In the sciences, ethical reasoning activities train students to consider the societal implications of scientific advancements.
