DMI College of Engineering (DMICE), Chennai has established Science and Humanities Department when it started in the year 2001 with well- versed members of faculty. It initiated with an aim of providing a strong foundation in basic science and communication and it enable the students to be competent Engineers. The S&H block comprised with four departments such as Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and English. The prime focus of the department is to provide a conceptual base in Basic Science which forms a foundation to the Engineering subjects. The department has been encouraging the conduct of workshops and seminars to enable the research. Considering the swift knowledge development and the technological changes, the department seeks to intensify itself by systemizing it with the Engineering departments for a profound knowledge in their field.

VISION:

To groom the students to be engineers of excellence in their respective departments.

MISSION:

To give them all-round personality by trapping the technical innovations in the students and to make them face the ever growing global needs.
