Department of BS&H — shaping minds, building futures
Echoing with global demands, the Department of Basic Sciences and Humanities has been established to ensure high professionally creative education for aspiring students. The department spans various courses in the natural and social sciences — because a university student's objective is not only to receive technical and scientific education but also to learn socio‑interaction, etiquette, and intellectual ability beyond the domain of his/her main study.
To equip students with the wisdom and sensibilities to excel in this new century, the department sets its mission to develop contemporary minds that will enable them to meet the challenges of a world that is becoming more volatile, complex, diverse and global than ever.
Curriculum & Courses
An engineering student must have a sound basis in engineering, but also be aware of basic sciences and socio‑economic issues. Courses in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology, Sociology, and History are included in the curricula.
