Dr. Jayesh J. Patel
Head of the Department
(Applied Science & Humanities)
Message from The HOD
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Department of Applied Science and Humanities. As the Head of the Department, I take great pride in leading a team that is dedicated to laying the academic foundation for our students’ success in engineering and technology. I am also working as a university coordinator of Universal Human Value Cell of AICTE-NCCIP in the Central Region.
Our department is unique in its multidisciplinary approach, integrating core scientific principles with humanistic values. We offer courses in Mathematics, Physics, and Communication Skills—all of which are essential in shaping well-rounded, critically thinking, and socially responsible professionals.
We believe that education goes beyond textbooks. Our focus is not only on academic excellence but also on developing the ethical, communicative, and problem-solving abilities of our students. Through interactive teaching, hands-on lab sessions, and continuous mentoring, we strive to instil curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love for learning.
As we move forward, our commitment remains strong—to support and empower our students to meet the challenges of a rapidly evolving world, while staying rooted in values that define a responsible global citizen.
I invite you to explore our department, engage with our faculty, and become part of a vibrant academic community.
About
Welcome to the Department of Applied Science and Humanities. As a foundational pillar of our institution, our department plays a vital role in nurturing scientific temper, critical thinking, and ethical values among students. We are committed to providing a strong base in subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, and Communication Skills, which are essential for engineering and technology education.
Beyond imparting core knowledge in Mathematics, Physics, and Communication Skill subjects, the department contributes significantly to the holistic development of the students through the introduction and facilitation of the Universal Human Value course. We teach a 3-credit course of UHV in the 2nd semester of Bachelor of Technology. By integrating Human Values with scientific and technical education, the department plays a crucial role in shaping students into competent, compassionate, and socially responsible individuals.
This holistic approach not only enriches personal lives but also contributes to building a harmonious and sustainable society. Our experienced faculty members blend theoretical knowledge with practical insights to support students’ academic and professional growth. Through interdisciplinary teaching and research, we aim to bridge the gap between science, technology, and societal needs, preparing students to become competent, responsible, and innovative professionals. We also emphasize the development of soft skills, ethics, and human values to ensure that our students are not only technically proficient but also socially conscious and globally competitive.
We look forward to shaping the future together.
Vision
To create an ecosystem in Science and Humanities education and research that emerge universal human values, cutting edge technocrats, Innovators and entrepreneurs.
Mission
The department promotes excellence in teaching, collaborative activities and positive contributions to the society. To leverage the overall development; to identify individual’s potential and encourage students for proper innovative practices to produce world class socially responsible engineers.
The Department of Applied Mathematics & Humanities has got its present status since the establishment of the College in 1999. It plays a unique and distinctive role in an institute where the ethos of science and technology prevails. It is believed that engineering and science are, by their very nature, humanistic and socially derived enterprises.
It has always believed in striving for excellence in research and teaching and has succeeded in this endeavor to a large extent. Its main aim is to lay basic profound foundations to Engineering education by inculcating the principles of Applied Physics, Mathematical Applications & Methods, basic Communication Skills of English and Management that help the technical students to comprehend the core Engineering subjects and enabling them to obtain scintillating careers in their respective disciplines. The Department has highly qualified Faculty members. The entire teaching faculty members are actively engaged in research in their respective fields and research papers are being published in the various Journals of repute.

It is underlying fact that Mathematics is the language of engineering. It caters to all disciplines of engineering. It is essential to understand how mathematics works in order to master the complex relationships present in modern engineering systems and products. Mathematics provides clarity and precision to vague and intuitive ideas. Modeling of physical processes can also be done using mathematics. In the undergraduate courses, mostly post calculus topics are covered viz., Differential equations, Multiple integrals, Fourier series, Fourier transforms, Laplace transforms, Vector calculus, Numerical methods etc. The Department offers course on Communication Skills in English and Business Management. There is no gainsaying the fact that the students of engineering need to have command on English language and thereby to improve their communication skills in order to survive in the globalized competitive scenario. They are called upon to interact with people of different regions, languages and nationalities. A sound knowledge of the practice in communication skills in English will go a long way in helping them to face toughest global competition in the field.To facilitate self-learning of students for Communication Skills, the Department makes use of the Language laboratory, well equipped with 36 computers and thereby the students can get intensive practice in basic communication skills such as Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing.
The Department offers Physics. Physics and Technology are very much related. Physics deals with understanding of the natural world, while technology aims to apply this understanding into the man-made world. Technology might even be considered as the offspring of Physics. Physics is the discipline devoted to creating and optimizing engineering solutions through enhanced understanding and integrated application of mathematical, scientific, statistical, and engineering principles. The discipline is also meant for cross-functionality and bridges the gap between theoretical science and practical engineering with emphasis in research and development, design, and analysis.
