Courses Offered

The Department offers a range of courses for first-year and second-year students across all disciplines.

About the Department

The Department of Physics was established in 1999 simultaneously with the establishment of the College. Engineering Physics plays a critical role in the engineering curriculum of KTU by equipping students with the fundamental principles required for innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration and a deeper understanding of how the natural world governs engineering systems.

Physics serves as a bridge between theoretical knowledge and practical applications across engineering disciplines. Understanding concepts such as mechanics, electromagnetism, semiconductor physics, optics and quantum physics helps students develop the foundational knowledge upon which advanced engineering theories are built.

The study of Physics also promotes critical thinking and problem-solving approaches, which are essential for addressing real-world engineering problems.

Our faculty members deliver comprehensive Engineering Physics courses to students from all branches. The department currently includes both permanent and guest faculty members.

Engineering Physics Laboratory

The department maintains an Engineering Physics Laboratory that serves students from all engineering disciplines and supports the practical requirements of the BTech programme.

Courses Offered

The Department offers the following Physics courses for first-year students across the engineering disciplines.
