Environmental Studies (fifth semester of each branch except civil engineering). In the 4-year Bachelor of Engineering curriculum of the University of Mumbai, the first year (i.e., the first 2 semesters) is shared by all engineering majors. Thus, first-year students of the Parshvanath College of Engineering were managed by the department of applied sciences and humanities, rather than the departments of the engineering branches that they had taken admission in. The department of applied sciences and humanities has the following laboratories: Applied Chemistry Lab Applied Physics Lab Computer Programming Lab Engineering Mechanics Lab Language Lab (for the subjects of communication skills and presentation & communication techniques) Basic Electrical & Electronics Engineering Lab Sci Lab (for Scilab software taught in applied mathematics) Library The college library is equipped with 22843 books covering 5025 titles. It was spread over an area of about 400 square meters. The college, as an associate member of INDEST AICTE Consortium, had subscribed for 42 national and 21 international journals. The library was supported with online access for members. The library had two reading rooms (one of which is air-conditioned), a reference section (for using books without taking them out of the library), and an internet surfing section for students and staff members. Students could either take books for "reference" (returning them on the same day) or for "issue" (returning them after a maximum duration of one week). A book bank is also provided by the library to students from 3rd semester and hard copy of notes to first-year students. References External links Official website of the A. P.
