The Role of Applied Science and Humanities Department in Modern engineering education is just as “a strong foundation is needed for a strong building”. The department offers core course in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, English and Humanities (Management, Engineering Economics, Organizational Behavior and Personnel Management) to impart basic as well as advance input among the B.Tech students. Mathematics being the fundamental of all engineering is given special attention. Where the humanities section caters to their needs in the areas of English, economics, technical communication, technical report writing, industrial organization and managerial economics. The future technocrats are like climate change, increasing industrialization, globalization are discussed through classes & field work. The department provides a well-equipped laboratories to students in the field of Physics, Chemistry and Language lab for their practical training and skill development.

About

Institute of Technology Gopeshwar, Uttarakhand is an center for excellence academic in undergraduate (B.Tech.) technical education with the help of various discipline of engineering department, applied science and humanities. The chemistry section is running under the umbrella of department of applied science and humanities to impart systemize knowledge of chemistry to undergraduate engineering students. Moreover, in order to improve quality education of chemistry practical and chemical transformation, chemistry section has well established laboratory. The chemistry section has been engaged in improving the experimental skill of undergraduate engineering students through conducting various experiments. for instance, acid base titration, heat of neutralization, complexometric titration, analysis of water quality and analytical spectroscopic tools etc.

List of experiments

  1.  Pre lab
  2.  Determination of Dissolved Oxygen (D. O.) in the given water sample by Winkler method.
  3. To determine the alkalinity of given water sample.
  4. Determination of Iron content in an iron ore by titrating it against standard K2Cr2O7 solution using potassium ferricyanide [K3Fe(CN)6] as an external indicator. 
  5. To determine the chloride content in water sample by Mohr’s method. 
  6. To determine the percentage of available chlorine in the given sample of bleaching powder (Iodometrically). 
  7. To determine temporary and permanent hardness in given water sample using EDTA as standard solution (Coplexometric titration). 
  8. To determine the Heat of Neutralization of Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and Hydrochloric acid (HCl). 
  9. To study Spectral and analytical technique. 
  10. Chemistry Lab Facilities
  11. Titration setup and glassware’s: All the experiment in the chemistry syllabus are related to titration only. Therefore, mostly the first year B.Tech student’s deals with titration experiments in order to find out the strength of given substance.

About

Applied Physics is providing a sound science base for all engineering disciplines in their I and II semester. The courses are designed to serve the need for a particular branch of engineering. The department has well equipped labs for B.Tech. students where experiments are designed to broaden experimental skill related to various branches of engineering and technology. The experiments are based mainly upon Optics, Electrostatics and Electricity& Magnetism, Modern Physics and Solid State Physics which are the parts of theory syllabus.
