Department Overview
The Basic Science and Humanities Department at MCKV Institute of Engineering comprises the core disciplines of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and English. All first-year B.Tech. students are under the guidance and supervision of this department. The primary objective is to instill the foundational principles of Science necessary to enhance students’ basic understanding of Engineering. As Science forms the backbone of any branch of Engineering, the faculty members with all their expertise, relentlessly work to bridge Science and Technology and make unswerving and tireless efforts towards the holistic development of students.
Comprising a blend of experienced and dynamic full-time faculty members and laboratory instructors in accordance with AICTE norms, the department prides itself on educators involved in both pedagogical and research pursuits. Their scholarly endeavors manifest through a plethora of publications including books and research articles in esteemed national and international journals, complemented by presentations at prestigious conferences. Noteworthy is the department’s pivotal role in guiding many research scholars towards the successful attainment of their doctoral degrees, coupled with active involvement as Principal Investigators (PI) or Co-PIs in research projects funded by prestigious organizations such as the Science and Engineering Research Board of the Government of India.
Facilities within the department include two well-equipped Physics laboratories, a Chemistry laboratory, and a Polymer Research laboratory. The latter, developed with funding from the Department of Science and Technology (DST) of the Government of India, serves as a hub for pioneering research endeavors, catering to the needs of undergraduate and PhD students alike. The department also boasts of a state-of-the art English Communication Laboratory where teachers encourage progressive and analytical thinking and provide grooming sessions with an aim to enhance professional competence and personality development.
At the heart of the department’s ethos lies a commitment to nurturing innovation and fostering lateral thinking among students. Through an assortment of workshops, seminars and projects, the department continuously encourages students to explore and cultivate their innovative potential, equipping them with the skills necessary to thrive in a rapidly evolving global landscape. The department is ever-active in updating teaching methodology on a regular basis to prevent stagnation.
Communication skills as a part of the overall program create a teaching learning process to make the students grasp the role of Soft Skills in a global environment. The department pays individual attention to ensure that students are ready to face dynamic professional spheres through group discussions and mock interview sessions. Project Presentations and use of Audio-Visual equipment to facilitate a better understanding of the dynamics of interaction are stressed upon.
In essence, the department stands as a pillar of foundational knowledge and scholarly pursuits, dedicated to blear the boundary between Science and Engineering, poised to make significant contributions to society’s ever-expanding pool of knowledge and innovation.
