Engineering Sciences Department

Ramrao Adik Institute of Technology DY Patil Deemed to be University is one of the top-rated, premier institutions of the country, imparting quality engineering education.  Since its inception in 1983, it has been growing in leaps and bounds. It has carved a niche for itself in the field of engineering education and is proud to have an intake of more than 900 students. The department  of  “Engineering  Sciences”  has  been  a  part  of  RAIT, since  its inception.  The  department plays  a  pivotal role in training the students who have  just  joined   first  year  engineering  and  imparting  quality  teaching  in  trending branches of Engineering such as Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, Machine Learning, Cyber Security, Computer Science and Business systems, computer and Electronics Engineering, Information Technology, Electronics and Telecommunication , Electronics & Instrumentation. Subjects  like  Engineering  Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Mechanics, Basic  Electrical  and  Electronics  Engineering ,  Computer  Programming, Data Structures and Algorithms etc are taught in first year engineering.  Other  than  these, students  are also  imparted  training  in  soft  skills  and  communication  skills  to  prepare  them   for  future  roles  as  leaders, managers  and  entrepreneurs. Value added courses like “Health & Wellness”, “Indian Cultural Studies”, “Sports and Yoga” have been incorporated in the curriculum to ensure an overall, holistic development of students.

 

The  department  houses  highly  qualified  and  experienced  faculty  who  have  been contributing immensely  to  the  teaching  and  learning  process. The  faculty  is  totally  dedicated  to  impart  quality  education  through  innovative  teaching  methodology.  The  faculty  at  the  same  time  is  also  dedicating  their  sincere  efforts in  research  and  development  by  tying  up  with  industry  and  doing  innovative  projects  in  their  respective  field  of  study.  There  are  faculty  mentors  in  the  department  who  cater  to  the  academic as  well  as  psychological  needs  of  students.  Students  have  an  excellent  rapport  with  the  faculty  as  they  are  amicable  and  approachable.  In the “Engineering Sciences” department, the student-teacher bond   is uniqueand appreciable.  Apart  from  academics, students  are  also  encouraged    to  participate  in  extra-curricular  and  co-curricular  activities.  In  the  beginning  of  the  semester, the  induction  programme  is  organized, which  provides  a  plethora  of  extracurricular and co-curricular   activities  to  students  in  which  they  can  participate  throughout the semester.  Yoga, games, creative arts, motivational sessions are   organized  to  train  the  students  in  coping  up  with  stressful  situations  and  facing  the  future  challenges  of  industry  and  life  in  general.

 

The  department  has  around 15  classrooms  and  6  laboratories  housed  on  ground, first  and  second  floors. The  classrooms  are  soundproof, spacious  with  high tech  facilities  like  smart  boards and LCDs, which  initiate interactive learning. Laboratories are well equipped with latest instruments, apparatus and software. All  basic  and  modern  amenities  are  provided  to  students  and  faculty, to  make  the  department  a  place  conducive  for  teaching, learning  and  research. The overall ambience is eco-friendly and exudes hope, positivity and well-being.
