The Department of General Sciences provides quality instruction to promote student learning in seven engineering disciplines (CHEM, EEE, MECH, CIVIL, CS, EIE, ECE and Biotechnology ) offered at BITS Pilani Dubai Campus.Courses offered in Department of General Sciences fulfil requirements for the Engineering degrees, with necessary prerequisites required for the various branches of disciplines and afford opportunities for personal enrichment and self-enhancement. Faculty provide students with a learning environment that both challenges and supports them to encourage achievement of high academic standards and to promote a deeper understanding of the foundation courses offered by our Department.
These educational activities contribute to the Institute’s mission of “Innovate, Achieve and Lead.” The faculty and staff in the Department of General Sciences uphold the values of BITS Pilani in our teaching, concern for student success, participation in the college community, and commitment to provide the highest quality education to the people of the Gulf Region and Expats. The Department of General Sciences from its very inception in 2000 is working as a supporting department to all the Engineering Departments.Department of General Sciences focuses on the creation and application of knowledge in the disciplines of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics and create interest among students for learning basic sciences by simplifying the topics and including more applications in engineering. It encourages research interest amongst faculty and students.
The Department of General Sciences, under the dynamic leadership of its Director Prof. Srinivasan Madapusi is focused to turn students into outstanding professionals. The Department’s faculty members are well qualified with masters\doctorate from institutes of repute like IIT, BHU, Anna University, AMU, Jadavpur University etc. with international exposure on working /scientific visits to different countries like USA, Japan, Singapore, Canada,Germany, Australia, UK etc. The faculties also have a number of national and international publications, books and projects to their credit. The Department of General Sciences equips students with technical knowledge, skill and ability; motivating them to think creatively, helping them to act independently and take decisions accordingly in all their scientific pursuits and other endeavours.To foster the students’ analytical and creative skills, the Department of General Sciences organizes various co-curricular and extracurricular activities such as educational/industrial visits, guest lectures, poster competition and many of the kind.
