OVERVIEW

The very foundation of an engineering student is laid with his/her knowledge in the basic science which includes mathematics, physics and chemistry. Apart from technical knowledge base, an individual aspires to be an ideal professional through strengthening his ideologies to emerge as a successful human being. Alongside the knowledge of basic science application, humanities and communication makes him complete engineering professional in all aspects. The department of Basic Science and Humanities at BCREC provides the students an appropriate platform for enhancing their basic knowledge skills in mathematics, physics, and chemistry as well as train them in professional English communication and corporate business etiquettes which making them grow up and mature with an ideal ethical understanding and value judgement. The department provides well-equipped labs to make the students excel in the various applications of physics, chemistry and mathematics in engineering. The department caters to the basic need of language development of the students for excelling in communication through business communication classes and focusses on honing the soft skill of the students through specially equipped language laboratory to make them successful not only during campus recruitment but also in every sphere of their professional life.

History bears witness to the fact that mathematics is the most important area in nature science and engineering. Applied mathematics is a branch of mathematics that deal with the mathematical methods that find its application in science, engineering, business as well as corporate industrial sectors with a most of academically excellent faculty members; the department caters to the students with the application of advanced analytical methods through operations research to help them make better decisions.

Engineering Physics is the study of combined disciplines of physics, engineering and mathematics in order to develop an understanding of the interrelationship of these three disciplines. The department of physics provides the platform to understand the broad applications of fundamental physics when combined with problem solving and engineering skills.

The department of chemistry engages in the application of chemistry in engineering by enriching the students with the knowledge of chemistry and chemical reaction that is required in the design and subsequent production of power generating equipment.

        

       

Vision

To transform the department into a centre of excellence for Basic Science and Humanities, through conscious, meaningful, devoted and determined effort of all the stake holders, by synergistic application of creativity, innovation, discipline and social consciousness.

Mission

To prepare the students for direct employment in various engineering related careers, pursuit of higher studies and / or research, or entrepreneurship in the field, by imparting them quality and value based education as per the needs of the society.

Message from HOD

"Science clears the field on which Technology can build". A famous quote from Heisenberg, a renowned scientist. A strong basic background of mathematics, physical sciences and presentable communication skill is essential to become a good Engineer. A dedicated team of excellent faculty members from esteemed Institutions like IIT, BESU and Jadavpur University has made the foundation of our Department, Basic Science and Humanities, very strong. A good mutual understanding among the faculty members with ample support from the administration/Management is our strength. We are the first step that every learner takes as soon as they enter, the college irrespective of their programs of study. 

On behalf of BSH Dept, we stand committed to BCREC's pursuit of excellence.
