Science & Humanities

The department of Science and Humanities believes firmly that discipline is the basis of character and success builds on character. The department endeavours to make success a habit for the freshman engineer. Along with a strong foundation in basic sciences necessary for their engineering pursuit, to realize the departmental objectives practically, the department plays an active role in conducting soft skills, Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Aptitude, Critical Reading, and Problem-Solving training classes, to the student community through the finishing school program which is spread over all the four years of the B. Tech programmes.

The Department of Science and Humanities, Rathinam Techincal Campus offers Science and Humanities Courses as prescribed by the curriculum of Anna University in the 1st year of the engineering programme and comprise four discipline English, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. The objective of the department is to provide value-based education to budding scientists and engineers so that they can become professionals on the forte of sciences. Moreover, the Department is committed to serving the needs of various branches of engineering by fostering an effective teaching and learning environment. Well-spaced Physics and Chemistry Laboratories equipped with adequate instruments add value to the basic science department.
