VELS Institute of Science, Technology and Advanced Studies (VISTAS) Chennai

School of Engineering

Engineering is the application of scientific principles for a better living. The engineering education at VELs University is designed to accommodate current trends and future needs. We have incorporated flexibility in our curricula. As such we have an obligation to address the full range of higher education, namely: teaching and learning, research, and service to the community. The major element in our design of engineering education is teamwork and partnership. In addition to the regular curriculum, we provide additional courses on communication skills and soft skills to make our students prepared to face any interview. We also we arrange several invited talks, conduct seminars/workshops, and National & International conferences on state of the art technology. Students are regularly taken to various industries to provide first hand information about the happenings in the real world.
