Engineering Physics, Engineering Chemistry and the humanities — life skills, professional communication, ethics, economics and the Constitution of India — taught into every first-year engineering programme at TIST.
The Department of Science & Humanities aims to advance students’ application abilities and foster innovative thinking, communication skills and integrity, built on a strong foundation of the fundamentals of basic subjects.
Rather than running a degree programme of its own, the department teaches Engineering Physics, Engineering Chemistry and humanities subjects — Life Skills, Professional Communication, Professional Ethics, Business Economics and the Constitution of India — into the first years of every B.Tech programme at TIST, and maintains its own Physics and Chemistry laboratories.
“The Department is envisioned to address the twin goals of professional excellence namely Soft Skills and Hard Skills, leading to all-round development and application efficacy in the professional domain of the technocrat.”
