I would like to welcome you and every one guest of the basic science department through this online page. If you’re a new or a probable student, we are particularly pleased to have you learn about us, and look forward to having you with us.  We tend to assure that our students, in addition to academic faculty or support staff will find us as a good engineering academy to join

The Basic Science department aims to impart education through teaching fundamental courses with a practical approach, that represents the basic tools for all engineers in all programs. The department has well professionally qualified, experienced and skilled staff. The Basic Science department is committed to continuously educating the students by enhancing their knowledge to solve the real-world problems that lead to the economic and technological transformation of the country. We also capitalize on the HUE well established classrooms and utilize the up-to-date content learning methods and technologies, to facilitate learning on campus, and effectively complement it with on-line teaching components as well.

The Basic Sciences Department prepares students in science and general Engineering subjects, which will be helpful to make a strong foundation for the future Engineers. We have a physics laboratory that has apparatus set up for the determination of electric heat equivalent, specific heat, thermal conductivity, Ohm’s law verification, resistance, capacitor capacitance, temperature, Stefan Boltzman constant, photoelectric effect, surface tension and viscosity coefficients, speed of sound in air, magnetic moment and gravitational acceleration. The Chemistry laboratory we have  plays is played a central and distinctive role in chemistry education. It has been used to involve students with concrete experiences of concepts. The Chemistry laboratory is supported by a spectrum of equipment and glassware as well as  water bath, water still, graduated cylinder, stoves, etc. The various equipment are used in identifying the qualitative and highlighting the quantitative method of analysis to detect individual elements or ions, or solution concertation. It is also provided with essential safety equipment like safety goggles, eyewash stations, safety showers, Lab coats, protective gloves, fire extinguishers, and so on. Also, the fundamental courses of engineering design and production are provided through engineering drawing and projection, the principles of manufacturing engineering, and mathematics courses. Additionally, the department is supplied with Computer-Aided Design (CAD) labs, drawing halls, and workshops.
