About the Department
Science and Humanities department is one of the pioneering departments among other departments, which enrich the fundamental practical knowledge of students when they join the engineering stream especially at Kathir College of Engineering. The aim of the department is to inspire the students to do research in the core areas of engineering. Fundamental concepts of engineering had been evolved from Physics, Chemistry and Mathematical concepts, hence, the department nurtures and shapes the young minds towards research. A team of professors in all the four departments ignite and guide the young minds from first through final years not only to get the degree with flying colours but also to learn the ‘Life Skills’ to fetch a prominent position in an organization / the society.
Highlights of the Department
Maths Bootcamp

Visit to Regional Science Centre, Coimbatore
Our students along with faculty members from S&H visited the Regional Science Centre, Coimbatore on 20th of July, 2018. Through this visit students learned the basic science behind the engineering World.
Soft skills and life skills
In everyday life, the improvement of life skills facilitates students to find a new way of thinking and problem solving, recognizes the knock of their actions and teaches them to take responsibility for what they do rather than blame others.
Water Rocket
As a part of bridge course, on 19th July 2018, the students along with S&H department faculty members were participated in water rocket event. The students were divided into groups and made a simple bottle rocket from two-liter soft drink bottles along with other materials under the guidance of Mr Arun Pranesh and Mr Arun Prakash, Assistant Professor in Mechanical department. The rocket is powered by air pressure and water. The bottle water rockets were tested in the college ground.
Laboratory Facilities

COMMUNICATION LABORATORY
‘Communicating among others is a skill and speaking in English is an ‘Art’.
The Department of English pays attention in enhancing the ‘Communication Skills’ of the students right from first year through final year by engaging them in ‘Language Laboratory’. Several skills such as ‘Soft Skills, People’s Skills, and Interpersonal Skills’, which are required for the students are taught in this laboratory so as to get placement in Multinational Companies.
In addition, the department of English gives training in ‘Public speaking’, which is pivotal for students when they are placed in organizations.
Also, department of English utilizes the E-Box platform effectively by augmenting the ‘Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing Skills’ of the students, which are indispensable to be successful all through the life.
