About the Department of First Year

The First Year in PCE is committed for imparting the students the basic knowledge required to pursue their engineering education and is established in 2000. The framework of the First Year provides ample opportunities to the students to train and excel themselves as researcher, thinker, job-seeker, entrepreneur, or innovator based on their passion. We focus on quality of teaching, learning and innovation to develop competent engineers with professional, analytical skills and ethical values.

The First Year is an indispensable part of PCE. It has ever played the role of foundation and building block which prepares the neophytes to cope with the atmosphere of an Engineering institution by including a scientific temperament in them. Like ever, the department has played an essential role and shown the zeal and efforts to uplift the nation builders. The faculty members are goal oriented and completely dedicated towards their aim. Beyond the academics, the first year also emphasizes in Non-Syllabus Projects which helps the students to expand not only technical skills, but also professional attributes like team work, communication skills, critical thinking, presentation skills, and most importantly, the hands on experience with the project based environment.

The professional behavior shown by the faculty members and concern shown for each individual student helps the budding technocrats to prepare themselves to be good future engineers. Students are connected to their tutors to discuss their problems and act as a friend as well as guide for them. The First Year organizes many activities for the whole year for the complete development of student personality.
