Department of Basic Sciences and Humanities is part of Vignan Institute of Technology and Science right from its inception. The department fosters the basic concepts of Engineering with the following disciplines: English, Engineering Chemistry, Engineering Physics, Mathematics, Programming for Problem Solving, Engineering Graphics, BEE, Engineering workshop and Information Technology Workshop.
It has 13 sections with an intake of 780 students and each section consists of 60 students. The department encompass with the B.Tech. Courses – Civil. Engg., EIE, EEE, Mech. Engg. ECE, CSE, ITE., Data Structures, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.
To equip the B.Tech, students with the basic skills as per industry needs along with fulfilling academics. To develop social responsibility, communication skills, team building, problem solving, intra and inter-personal skills, and leadership qualities, adopt student-centered and participatory learning.
Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
Problem analysis: Identify, formulate review research literature and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principle of mathematics, natural science and engineering science.
Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental
Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.
Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.
The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.
Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.
Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.
Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.
Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
