Department of Applied Science

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.

While the department does not offer a standalone degree program, it serves as the academic and administrative unit for all first-year engineering students and supports higher-semester students across various engineering disciplines. The department focuses on strengthening analytical, research, and problem-solving capabilities essential for engineering practice and technological innovation.

Through courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, environmental science, engineering drawing, and workshop technology, students gain proficiency in logical reasoning, scientific analysis, experimental methods, systems modeling, and practical fabrication skills. To complement classroom learning, the department is equipped with modern physics, chemistry, and environmental laboratories, an operations and research laboratory, engineering drawing halls, and a central engineering workshop.

By integrating rigorous academic instruction with laboratory experimentation and hands-on practical training, the Department of Applied Science ensures that students build a strong foundation for advanced engineering studies and successful professional careers.
