Department of Physics

Overview

...

The Department of Physics is affiliated with the University of Mumbai and established in the year of inception of college. At present Department offered undergraduate and postgraduate Degree courses in Physics.

Objectives

Through our Bachelor, Master Programs in Physics, the Department is committed to: -

  • Offer a relevant, and innovative curriculum to the students that provide them with the necessary fundamental knowledge and also acquainted with emergent technology to flourish in their professions.
  • Analyse the timely progression of students through mentor-mentee exchanges.
  • Offer opportunities for the students to engage in institutes like University departments and TIFR-HBCSE
  • Offer personalized mentoring to the research students to ensure timely completion of their Master's. degree projects.

Vission & Mission

The Department is devoted to providing good quality education and hands on experiment to all its undergraduate, postgraduate students who will become eminent leaders in the area of science and emergent technology by using Raspberry-Pi and EXP EYEs alongwith core physics.

The Department aims to produce Physicist from YOUNG ASPIRING MINDS, who have assimilated excellent practical, research, and teaching skills along with scientific intelligent and ethical code of conduct required for the multifaceted development of the nation in line up with four core values of NAAC viz. Fostering Global Competencies among Students. Inculcating a Value System among Students. Promoting the Use of Technology. Quest for Excellence.

Courses Being Taught

Departmental Associations

La Physique 3.0 was conducted in February by the Department of Physics and Bhavan's Physics Society. The third edition was conducted this year after the gap of two academic years due to the lockdown. Bhavan's Physics Society was introduced this year. The first student representatives were elected through elections. These elections took place in December. Hence the society was formed of 9 elected members and co-op members. One of the main goals of BPS is to bring together physics students. BPS is also responsible for organizing cultural and co-curricular activities taking place in the department. La Physique was the first departmental fest organized by the society.

The preparations for the fest started soon after the declaration of the society. Interested elected members were given their respective duties for the fest. The organizing committee distributed its work among the following departments: Events (Physics and Non-Physics), Experiences, Hospitality, Tech and logs, PR, Creatives, Sponsorship and Marketing.

A total of 12 events were organized in which students could participate. These events were both Physics and non-physics based.Khel Khel ke Batao (Non-Physics events) were a group of competitive events. These encouraged participants to showcase their co-curricular skills. Physics Wysics (Physics Events) were those competitions where participants used applications of Physics to win and learn new concepts.

PO, PSO and CO of Revised Syllabus

A student completing Bachelor’s Degree Science Program must develop:

PO - 1

Fundamental disciplinary knowledge and/or interdisciplinary approach.

PO - 2

Develop effective communication skills for the dissemination of scientific knowledge through written, oral and multimedia/technology-based formats.

PO- 3

The ability to apply broadly accepted scientific methodologies in their research project

PO- 4

The ability to effectively communicate disciplinary knowledge to the scientific community and broader public. 

PO- 5

The ability to communicate scientific results effectively in presentations or posters.

Students who complete the physics degree programs must develop
PSO 1 A thorough quantitative and conceptual understanding of the core areas of physics, including mechanics, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, electronics  at a level compatible with  graduate programs in physics at peer institutions.
PSO 2 The ability to analyze and interpret quantitative results, both in the core areas of physics and interdisciplinary areas.
PSO 3 To use modern library searching and retrieval methods, to obtain the information about a topic, fundamental and recent trends in research and industrial requirements.
PSO 4 Competencies to successfully crack the competitive exams in Physical sciences 

The T.Y. BSc degree course of Bachelor of Science (Choice Based Credit System) in Physics has been revised so as to cover necessary and applied acquaintance on the important fields of Physics viz emergent Technology like Python based learning, Raspberry-Pi linked with EXP EYES along with core physics like material science, thermal physics, relativity etc. The students choosing this course will get an enriched theoretical and practical knowledge in the above fields. The course will endow the students with the essential skill-set essential in a Physics Laboratory.
