Overview

The Department of Applied Science at the National College of Engineering (NCE) provides the essential scientific and mathematical foundation for engineering education. Although NCE has been offering engineering programs since 2001 AD, the department was established as an independent academic entity in 2012 AD to strengthen the delivery of basic sciences and interdisciplinary learning.

  • First-Year Hub: Serves as the primary academic department for all incoming first-year students.
  • Universal Reach: Supports all engineering disciplines
  • Applied Science Labs: Dedicated basic science and specialized operations and research lab facilities.
  • Design & Fabrication: Administers Engineering drawing halls and engineering workshop.

  • Key Equipment: Resonance apparatus, LASER, Lee’s disc apparatus, Newton’s Ring apparatus.
  • Key Experiments: Determining radius of gyration, modulus of rigidity, thermal conductivity, wavelength of light, and capacitance.
2. Chemistry & Environmental Lab
  • Purpose: Emphasizes quantitative analysis, experimental accuracy, and chemical testing of environmental matrices like water, soil, and air.
  • Key Equipment: Analytical balance, pH meter, conductivity meter, calorimeter, and distillation setup.
  • Key Experiments: Acid-base titrations, water hardness estimation, calorific value determination, and spectrometric analysis.
3. Workshop Lab
  • Purpose: Develops fundamental skills in fabrication, machining, and translating engineering designs into physical components.
  • Key Equipment: Lathe and drilling machines, welding sets, sheet metal tools, micrometers, and forging/casting equipment.
  • Key Experiments: Fitting (filing, drilling), machining operations, arc/gas welding, sheet metal practice, and soldering.
4. Drawing Hall
  • Purpose: Builds visual communication, spatial reasoning, and geometric accuracy by translating 3D concepts into technical blueprints.
  • Key Equipment: Drawing boards, mini-drafters, T-squares, set-squares, and precise drafting instrument boxes.
  • Key Experiments: Orthographic projections (front, top, side views), isometric and pictorial views, sectioning, and auxiliary views.
5. Research & Operation Lab
  • Purpose: Acts as a computational playground where mathematics meets computer science to solve advanced engineering problems.
  • Key Equipment: Advanced computer systems equipped with Python, MATLAB, C, and C++.
  • Key Experiments: Bisection, Newton-Raphson, and Secant methods; curve fitting and regression; numerical integration (Trapezoidal and Simpson’s rules); and numerical solutions for differential equations.
