About The Department
Date of Establishment of the Department:2003
The Basic and Applied Sciences branch came into being with establishment of the University College of Engineering in 2003 at the Punjabi University Campus. This branch got the status of independent department in Sept., 2013. The department offers foundation courses in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Communicative English and Management to the B. Tech. and Five year Engineering Management Integrated Programme students. Besides, the department also offers some other courses such as Numerical Methods and Applications and operation research to the students. The theoretical aspects of different subjects are supported by well equipped labs in Physics and Chemistry for imparting practical skills. Recently, a digital language lab has been established in the department to inculcate soft skills in the students. Additionally, the subjects of Environmental Science and Road Safety and Punjabi Language are also offered by the department. There are 26 faculty members in the department and all are actively involved in research work in their respective fields of specialization. Some of the faculty members have research projects and are also guiding Ph.D. students. The department is supported by nine Technical /non-teaching staff.
