MESSAGE FROM HOD
The Department of Applied Sciences provides an inclusive environment for everyone by integrating a range of educational, research and consultancy opportunities to enhance knowledge and skills. The department acts as a bridge between basic science like physics, chemistry and mathematics with engineering procedure. Faculty in applied sciences offers high quality basic courses to first year undergraduate students to make them strong in fundamentals before handing them over to their concerned engineering disciplines to complete their required credits. Furthermore, our faculty equipped graduate students with knowledge and skills by providing specialized courses across a wide range of study options to M. Tech. and Doctoral degree in applied physics, chemistry, and pure and applied mathematics to propel the student’s career as a professional scientist/engineer. The department aspires to develop the full potential of our students whilst offering an enriched educational experience that equips them with the qualifications and skills to achieve their scientific and technical ambitions.
PROGRAMME EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
PO-1 To prepare graduates with a solid foundation in Engineering, Mathematical Science and technology for a successful career in Mathematics & Computing/ Finance/Computer Engineering fields.
PO-2 To prepare graduates to become effective collaborators/ innovators, who could ably address tomorrow’s social, technical and engineering challenges.
PO-3To enrich graduates with integrity and ethical values so that they become responsible engineers.
PO-4To apply mathematics, numerical computation, and applications of systems-oriented ideas to the physical, biological, social, and behavioral sciences.
PO-5To develop the computational approach on new algorithms, their analysis, and numerical results.
PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES
Program Specific Objectives
PSO -1 Strive to make students to understand, appreciate and gain mathematical skills and develop logic, so that they are able to contribute intelligently in decision making which characterizes our scientific and technological age.
PSO -2 This course is designed to provide students with an in-depth theoretical background and practical training in computer science, numerical computing, and mathematical finance.

Hydrodynamic Stability, Ferrohydrodynamics, Nanofluids, Non-Newtonian Fluids, Fluid Instabilities & Flow through Porous Media. Most of the work on magnetic fluids is concentrated to thermal convection problems of water based and ester based magnetic liquids. Porous medium studies on models based on Darcy, Brinkman law are considered. Penetrative convection in layer based on different models is explored. Variety of possible variations including thermal non-equlibrium, anisotropy, rotation, salt, gravity, throughflow are possible.
There is a lot of open scope in near future to be explored.
