Physics
Overview
Department of Physics is a place for learning, fundamental research, innovation, discovery and expression. This department supports the young minds to follow their passion, explore technology, create curiosity and take up scientific challenges across the various engineering discipline. This is one of the sprawling and leading academic and research-based department. Department of Physics is recognized as Nodal Research Centre to have interaction with Anna University for collaborative research program. Faculty members of Department of Physics have received Research projects worth Rs. 142 Lakhs from various funding agencies.
Message from HOD
Dr. S. SHAHIL KIRUPAVATHY, Professor & Head, Department of Physics
A good education is the foundation for a better future. In VEC we ensure that every student entrusted to us will receive wholistic development and also support to unearth all the potentials found in them. The students who come to this beautiful campus enter the world as successful Engineers.
WHY SHOULD WE STUDY PHYSICS IN ENGINEERING COLLEGE?
- Physics helps us to understand how the world around us works,
- Physics gives us powerful tools to help us to express our creativity.
- Physics provides quantitative and analytic skillsneeded for analysing data and solving problems in Science and Engineering.
- Physics is the basis for most modern technologyandopens the door to many career options.
The Pillars of Physics
Educational edifice with lakhs of students, hundreds of teachers and several top-notch institutions growing under our umbrella.
Faculty Strength
- Our department comprises of seven faculty members who are all active researchers with interests spanning a wide range of domains.
- Our department provides excellent academic ambience to succeed in an increasingly complex technological age.
- Physics department consistently produces 100% results in semester end examinations.
The Spectrum Club
Spectrum Club was started in VEC with the aim of providing opportunities to the students to showcase their talent in various events like paper presentation, poster designing, photography, poster designing and so on to explore Physics beyond textbooks and apply it in day-to-day life. My Dream Project contest is the most important event organized by this club to bring out the innovative ideas of younger minds and transform into products. In short the Spectrum Club of VEC serves as a hub for the technological developments by enriching the analytical thinking of younger minds.
Research
Our physics faculty and researchers are active members who study the simplest things and complicated things too. Our Nodal Centre is at the fore front of many areas where physics can be newly innovated. Physics research department provides students, research scholars and faculties with opportunities across a wide range of fields. Our faculties have published research papers in Journals of International repute. Some of them also have bagged proposals and are actively involved in mini projects sponsored by DST, IEDC, etc.
Industry Interaction
