Programme Educational Objectives (PEO)
SREENIDHI INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, founded by Sree Education Society of the Sree Group of Industries in 1997, shaped itself into one of the best Engineering Colleges within a span of twenty years. It started with 260 students and five branches of engineering – ECE, EEE CSE, CSIT, and Mechanical and expanded to eight branches - ECE, EEE CSE, IT, Mechanical, ECM, Bio- Technology and Civil Engineering. With undaunted spirit and well planned policies, SNIST showed the entire nation the extraordinary growth in every stage of its pageant of twenty years, since the inception in 1997.
The department of Science and Humanities, the back bone of SNIST, was established in 1997 preparing the FIRST YEAR students ready with all the required abilities and enabling them to learn the core subjects of the respective departments in their subsequent years. Starting off with about 260 students and faculty strength of 7, the department garnered student strength of nearly 1680 FRESHMAN students and a faculty figure of more than 100 with its sections like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and English by 2017-18.
Programme Outcomes (PO)
- The Institution has gradually grown from five branches – ECE, EEE, CSE, CSIT, and Mechanical with 260 students, to eight branches - ECE, EEE CSE, IT , Mechanical, ECM, Bio- Technology and Civil Engineering with 1680 students. From FIVE Sections in 1997 the Institute has grown to 28 sections by 2017. This speaks volumes of the growth of the Institution. In the last five to six years the institution has witnessed an exponential growth and development that is equivalent to the entire growth of the Institution garnered in the initial one and a half decade.
- The development also is manifold; Paper Publications in National and International Journals, Books published by renowned publishers, producing Doctorates by supervising and guiding the research work, achieving patents, attending and organizing Seminars, workshops, and Symposia, organizing Faculty Development Programs, conducting National and International Seminars, etc are to name a few academic activities of the faculty members apart from their regular and routine teaching and administrative schedule.
- The mission of laying a strong foundation for engineering students to attain excellence in core competencies with high level of motivation is achieved by the department. We prepare the students to be technically competent, morally strong, and psychologically balanced to face and survive the global challenges and incorporate cross cultural environment. With two decades of experience behind, the department is marching ahead into another decade carrying the vision and mission with short and long term goals.
Program Specific Outcomes (PSO)
- Some of the faculty secured Ph.D. while in service in Sreenidhi and the rest of the faculty are pursuing Ph.D.
- Most of our faculty has a multidisciplinary background in research covering Basic Science to Technology applications.
- The faculty are enthusiastic to enhance their academic knowledge and are encouraged to project their professional knowledge and experience and presenting their research papers in National and International conferences.
- This department conducts a unique orientation program “Improving learning capabilities and personality development” every year for the benefit of fresh students. The department takes the responsibility of Mentoring first-year students.
