Physics-About Us
About Department :
Our Physics Department is located on the scenic campus of the PSNACET, Dindigul and it started its activity since 1984. The Department is headed by Dr. G.Natarajan, has high quality of 11 faculty members with average faculty retention of 10 years. Out of 11 faculty members 03 are Professors,02 are Associate Professors and 06 are Assistant Professors. In our Department 07 faculty members have completed PhD and 02are pursuing PhD.
We focus to teach Engineering Physics, Physics for civil engineering, Materials science, Physics for information science and Physics for Electronic engineering for all branches of First year engineering students which provides the basic knowledge in Physics and support the students to work on forefront ideas in technology and science, in either industry or academia.
Our laboratory covers an area of 227 sq.mt. There are totally 25 working tables which can comfortably accommodate 60 students per batch. It has all the necessary equipment as required by the Anna University curriculum. There is a separate instrumentation room to carry out research work also and a separate store room to keep the instruments safely. Separate cabins are provided for each faculty members with sufficient internet connected computers and printers.
Our department has Science forum to elicit the hidden talents of the students. Many faculty members are vigorously carrying out their research activities. They have published research papers in both national and international research journals.
Vision :
To make continuous improvement in educational environment by providing and developing the graduates having strong academic and technical based knowledge in Physics to achieve excellence in their professional and career.
Mission :
To provide excellent education by preparing the students for career as scientists, industrialist, academician, researcher and developer to evolve with innovative ideas and applications. To inculcate professional behaviors, strong ethical values and leadership abilities in the young minds so as to work with a commitment to the progress of our Nation.
Programme Outcomes :
Engineering Graduates will be able to :
1. Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, and basic engineering fundamentals to the solution of complex engineering problems.
2. Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems, reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.
3. Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for the 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 considerations.
4. 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.
5. 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
6. 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 Civil engineering practice.
7. 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.
8. Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the professional engineering practice.
9. Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
