Science and Humanities – Saveetha Engineering College

DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH

The English department helps students acquire communicative competence and equips them with manners, etiquette, and soft skills to think creatively and critically. The department, headed by Dr A Anne Dorathy, has a dedicated team of qualified faculty members to help students become better orators and communicators by teaching them to overcome their inhibitions and master the four skills- LSRW (Listening, Speaking, Reading & Writing). Besides offering the regular courses, the team also trains the students for BEC- Business English Certificate exams and other competitive exams. The department runs a ‘Literary Club’ to support the students' extracurricular activities and a ‘Reading Hub’ to develop the students' reading skills.

DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS

The Department of Physics, led by Dr. Priya M and her team of talented faculty, provide the students with the opportunity to educate themselves with the various concepts in Physics what scientists have traditionally spent years of labour and study to understand. Experiments can sharpen students' powers of observation, stimulate the power of questioning, and help develop new understanding and vocabulary. The Department has a well equipped laboratory to help the students in enabling them to share their skills and experience of making experiments work in the classroom. The Department of Physics is recognized as a Research center by Anna University and boasts of the maximum doctorates on roll.

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS

The Department of Mathematics, led by Ms. K. Ruth Isabels, along with her team of dedicated, experienced and well qualified staff members help students learn maths with less effort and greater interest. Mathematics differs from natural sciences. The physical theories in the sciences are tested by experiments, while mathematical statements are supported by proofs which may be verified objectively by mathematicians. If a certain statement is believed to be true by mathematicians but has neither been proven nor dis-proven, it is called a conjecture, as opposed to the ultimate goal: a theorem that is proven true. Physical theories may be expected to change whenever new information about our physical world is discovered. New ideas in Mathematics don't falsify old ones but rather are used to generalize what was known before to capture a broader range of phenomena.

DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY

The Department, headed by Dr. M. Mettilda and her dedicated and qualified faculty, provide the students with the necessary insight they must have to learn the marvels of Chemistry. The faculty of Chemistry also handle Environmental Science that teaches today’s generation the need to understand and help our environment to keep us healthy and preserve our mother earth for future generations. Laboratory work is an essential element in pupil learning which cannot be replaced by other approaches. The Department has a well equipped laboratory which provides a positive contribution to understanding Chemistry.
