Dr Manjunath K
Head of the Department
The department of Chemistry was started in the year 2001. It aims at irradiating the young generation students as expert by building, establishing and improving morally principles among student community. The strength of the department is its faculty members, who are well qualified, well experienced and dedicated. The department has spacious classrooms and well equipped laboratories with highest configured systems and latest versions of software. The students of the department excel in their studies and consistently produce good results. Thus, the department not only imparts quality education, but also moulds the students which help them in their overall development.
Vision:
Leadership and Excellence in Education
Mission:
To fulfill the vision by imparting total quality education replete with the Philosophy of blending human values and academic professionalism
- Department of Chemistry offers three integrated courses – Applied Chemistry for Computer Science Engineering and stream, Applied Chemistry for Electronics and communication and Applied Chemistry for Civil for First and Second semester B.E. These three courses are 4 credits with 5 modules
- Engineering Chemistry is regarded as one of the most important foundation subject in Engineering Chemistry is an imperative part of every degree program in Engineering. It is generally added in the first-year syllabus of a bachelor’s degree in Engineering and is structured in a manner that it has different theoretical concepts which are studied along with their practical applications. This specialised branch of Engineering mainly deals with the study of matter in any form along with its chemical and physical properties, composition and applications. It analyses the nature of different materials and their usage for designing purposes. As a budding engineer, should be aware of the discovery of new and better materials and their contribution to the diverse field of design and development. Studying this specialised field, will get to learn about using different materials of varying sizes without causing any wastage or pollution. Moreover, every engineer is expected to possess a basic understanding of working with old and new matter of different kinds and that’s where Engineering Chemistry helps them in handling a wide range of materials in the right way.
- Engineering Chemistry Laboratory – The main objective of Engineering Chemistry Laboratory is to furnish the conceptual understanding of the basic principles involved in chemical analysis. Most of the experiments are correlated to the theoretical concepts. This course lays the foundation of certain basic concepts and skills that can be repeatedly employed by the students in their future endeavours. This course also helps to improve the scientific temper of the students to conduct the various experiments.
