The Department of Humanities and Applied Sciences trains budding engineers to be highly effective, efficient and competitive in ever-changing global scenario. The Department has a goal to harness the vast potential of each student and hone their skills to fine perfection during their tenure as a student learner. We endeavour to make them Nation builders, technocrats and business leaders of tomorrow.


The Department of Humanities and Applied Sciences was established in 1999 with the aim of laying a strong foundation of basic principles of various disciplines such as Applied Mathematics, Applied Physics, Applied Chemistry, Engineering Mechanics, Professional and communication Ethics, Basic Electrical & Electronics Engineering, C Programming, Python Programming, Program Core Course, Induction cum Universal Human Values, Social Science & Community Services and Indian Knowledge in the mind of young budding engineers.
Department also ensures the enrichment of technical skills, communication and soft skills of students through technical writing, oral communication and organizing workshops, seminars, STTPs and guest lectures on regular basis. The teaching methodology is based on application of innovative teaching strategies such as Flipped Classroom, Course Networking, comprehensive lectures and regular assignments. The department offers the certificate course in ‘Spoken English and Personality Development’ during semester break for the students to be effective communicator. The department has well-equipped laboratories for Physics, Chemistry and Language lab. Labs of Engineering Mechanics and Computer programming aid in completing first Year syllabus. We are always keen to offer students an academic experience of “thinking, learning and applying”.
Faculty members are very enthusiastic, dynamic and committed towards all the activities of the department and are closely associated with students through counselling and guidance for academics, curricular, extracurricular activities etc. I welcome and wish all engineering aspirants to make their dreams into reality at Atharva.
