THE DEPARTMENT

Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur,(formerlyBengal Engineering & Science University, Shibpur) has a fairly long tradition of rendering community service in a modest manner besides conducting  traditional academic  programmes. Community service rendered by the faculty members has been ranging from formulation to implementation of specific programme like technology innovation and technology transfer to the Rural Sector.

To facilitate such activities of the faculty members of the Institute, School of Community Science & Technology (SOCSAT) was created in 2004. The school since then made significant progress in the areas of basic and applied research in juxtaposition with various training programmes that are congruous with the objectives of the school.
