to find technological solutions to problems but also to expand human knowledge and
understanding. Currently, the school has over 65 Research Scholars pursuing a Ph.D.
degree. The faculty members have contributed to academic research publishing and
have
successfully published research papers in over 123 journals and book chapters. SAS
encourages faculties for collaborative research with faculties from foreign
universities
and presents their findings on international platforms.
The school has 28 registered faculties under the Research Grant in Engineering,
Management, and Science (RGEMS), an initiative to motivate research that can lead to
R&D
projects. Undergraduate Research (URE) pursuits are encouraged by the school as
well. In
collaboration with the faculty, undergraduate students of engineering do active
research, which leads to journal publications.
