Faculty of Science and Technology Dean ’s Message & Assistant Dean’s Message
All things being transient, today’s high-tech is tomorrow’s low-tech. Only science and technology professionals who have a consolidated foundation can cope with this rapidly changing world.
The Faculty of Science and Technology, FST, includes two Schools, School of Engineering and School of Health and Allied Sciences. The curricula of the school is designed to integrate four years of undergraduate and two years of graduate school education as a consecutive process to develop students’ problem solving abilities where students learn the fundamentals of science and technology, and even social and even related behavioral aspects.
I strongly believe that the educational ideal of the schools is to achieve the integration between the science and technology through instruction and practical exposure, because a theory and its application are two wheels of the same cart.
I encourage you to explore more, throughout this website, about our programs, laboratories, research, and faculty, in the Faculty of Science and Technology. If you have new ideas that can inspire us, please feel free to share with us. We cannot make the university better without your support.
Our schools will awaken your full potential!Dr. Suresh Prasad Bastola, MBBS,MScPH
