Science and Humanities

The name itself denotes that it is the foundation of all sciences and elementary understanding of how people think and behave.Educational arena is incomplete without this department. English, Engineering Physics, Engineering Chemistry, Mathematics & Environmental Sciences are the five major domains of this department.

Engineering curriculum essentially includes these subjects as they become the base from which all advanced sciences draw their strength. Unique feature of Geethanjali is highly dedicated faculty members with very strong academic background and experience. Faculty members with very strong academic background and experience are working here. Each faculty of this department works with great perseverance to achieve the goal and in contributing effectively to the student's overall development.

Science & Humanities department handles engineers, technologists in the making to become more enlightened intellectually and analytically. It is a cardinal rule that it is difficult to advance by ignoring science and humanities in the days of globalization.

It is mandatory on every student's part to realize the true potential of science & humanities and enrich him/her to acquire basic strength for a enviable future.

The department is headed by Prof. Dr. G. Neeraja Rani, having 30 years of experience in Teaching and Research. There are 7 Professors, 13 Associate Professors, 22 Assistant professors in the department.

1. ERNEST RUTHERFORD LAB (Engineering Chemistry Lab)
Engineering chemistry laboratory practices exclusively introduces concepts in a concise way and is of paramount importance. Describes the quantitative analysis and estimations of the compounds of general interest to the engineers. Techniques such as PH meter, potentionmeter, conductometer, calorimeter and estimation of hardness of water, experiments used in industry will be done. Includes with all subject relevant matter, equations and additional information.

2. SIR ISSAC NEWTON LAB (Engineering Physics Lab)
The physics lab is named after doctor Newton, sir Issac (1642 -1727), mathematician, physicist and one of the foremost scientific intellects of all time. SIR ISSAC NEWTON LAB provides the basic knowledge to all students who belong to different branches in engineering.

3. JANE AUSTEN LAB (English Language Communication Skills Lab)
It is said that face is the index of mind and eyes are the windows of soul. These are after all, time-tested words of wisdom and are applicable to the people of all the ages. ELCS lab equips students to have a cutting edge with regard to English which has become a lingua franca.

4. Computational Mathematics Lab
Computational Mathematics lab was introduced in the year 2016-17 for first B. Tech students. By using C programming, students get the solution of the mathematical problems which consumes much time to solve manually and also enhances programming skills.

Compiling course files is a concept which had been there for many years in professional college. Geethanjali takes the concept of course file to a new level altogether.

Efforts have been made to prepare course files on every subject taught in all branches altogether. This huge stack of information is specially prepared by the respective faculty members with examinations in mind. A wide variety of questions are compiled catering to the comprehension of the weakest student to challenge the mind of the brightest student.

Not only are the efforts of Geethanjali towards compiling the best material but efforts of the same level are put into ensuring that the students access the information. Group ids are created for each class and the class representative receives this information which he/she passes it on to his/her classmates. All of them can access the information with the help of their username & password generated individually per student.

Along with important questions and answers generated unit wise there are nearly 50 multiple choice questions per unit which will aid the student in their online internal examinations. Not just this academic matter but our faculty also includes website addresses resourceful for their subjects, references and all possible lab viva questions.

The course files are updated every year and versions of it are released.

The laboratory manuals for each lab are generated with utmost care because at Geethanjali we understand the importance of applied knowledge. We realize that labs are real nests for acquiring knowledge and hence stringent measures are followed while designing them and scrutinized by the HODs before they reach the student. Along with the prescribed number of experiments, more number of experiments are added after consulting the industry requirements. The lab manuals help the student prepare their record and also come prepared for their lab sessions.
