About Us
The Department of Science and Humanities (Sc & Hum) serves as the intellectual cornerstone of Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST). Since the department’s inauguration, Science and Humanities has provided all other departments with educational and academic support. Our mission is to ensure that every MIST graduate gains a rigorous, integrative understanding of the sciences and humanities. The department upholds the conviction that meaningful engineering innovation emerges from technical expertise informed by scientific inquiry, critical reasoning, and ethical judgment. Through essential courses in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, English, Sociology, Accounting, and Economics, the department equips students from all engineering disciplines with the analytical and communicative competencies needed to confront complex real-world challenges.
Moving beyond foundational studies, this department has cultivated a vibrant culture of advanced research and specialized undergraduate education. Looking toward the future, the Department of Science and Humanities is poised for an exciting era of expansion and interdisciplinary convergence. Beginning in 2026, the department is going to launch two innovative undergraduate programs designed to meet the demands of the 21st century:
BSc in Mathematics and Data Science: Blending the theoretical depth of pure mathematics with the computational force of data science, the program offers rigorous training in algebra, calculus, probability, optimization, and numerical methods. Students also gain mastery of machine learning, statistical modeling, and algorithmic thinking. By uniting abstract reasoning with practical analytical tools, the curriculum prepares graduates to excel in artificial intelligence, quantitative finance, actuarial science, operations research, cybersecurity analytics, and large-scale data engineering. Its interdisciplinary scope ensures that students evolve into both adept theoreticians and innovative data-driven problem solvers.
BSc in Chemistry and Nanoscience: Starting from the 2026 spring session, the Department of Science and Humanities is launching the Department of Chemistry, where students will be taught basic ideas on chemistry and advanced ideas on nanomaterials, nanomolecules, and nanofabrication. Bridging classical chemical sciences with the frontier of nanotechnology, the program provides a solid foundation in physical, organic, and inorganic chemistry, paired with specialized study of nanomaterials, surface science, molecular engineering, and nano-fabrication. With training that combines molecular-level understanding and advanced experimental methodologies, students gain the expertise to thrive in materials development, sustainable and green chemistry, drug delivery and biomedical applications, energy storage, environmental remediation, and precision manufacturing. The curriculum is designed to cultivate researchers capable of crafting nanoscale innovations with meaningful technological and societal impact.
Mission
The mission of Department of Science and Humanities is derived from the vision of MIST:
