Engineering is a field which has formed the base for human existence, ever since the industrial revolution which started in the 1700’s, engineering has played a very important role in uplifting our human civilization to the current state. Engineering has brought us various conveniences which most of us, who live in the current era, take for granted.

Students pursuing courses in the engineering and technology field will gain a sound understanding of the creative application of science, mathematical methods and empirical evidence to design, innovation, construction and operation of machines, structures, materials, devices, processes and organizations. Students will learn to bridge the gap between the pure sciences and the needs of society, businesses and industry effectively.
