History:

The College of Engineering, Pune, established in the year 1854, is one of the oldest engineering colleges in Asia. The college was one of the first few colleges established by the British to serve the Indian subcontinent. Initially, it was started as the 'Poona Engineering Class and Mechanical School' to train subordinate officers for carrying out public works like buildings, dams, canals, railways and bridges. Later on, the school became the 'Poona Civil Engineering College', and subsequently in the year 1911, the name was changed to the 'College of Engineering, Poona'. The institution was initially affiliated to the University of Bombay (now Mumbai) for a degree of Licentiate in Civil Engineering known as LCE. The certificate course was converted into a degree course and the first class of the Bachelor of Engineering degree graduated in the year 1912. In 1968, the three year degree was extended to 4 years.

D. J. Sangvi College

D. J. Sangvi College:

With the advent of liberalization in the early 90s, India opened the doors of her economy to foreign players. This influx of global players into the Indian market and their emphasis on using state-of-the-art technologies created a spurt in the demand for contemporary engineering courses in the suburbs of India's commercial capital Mumbai.

Never one to ignore the demands of the industry and academic fraternity, the Shri Vile Parle Kelavani Mandal, with prior approval from the University of Mumbai, the Government of Maharashtra, the Directorate of Technical Education and the All India Council for Technical Education, decided to establish a benchmark-setting engineering college. The Dwarkadas J. Sanghvi College of Engineering, named after Shri Dwarkadas J. Sanghvi, was born. Our parent body SVKM has provided additional building space of 5267.9 sq.m in the adjoining building of the campus. Thus the total built-up area now increases to 16,276.9 sq.m

A+ graded engineering college under the University of Mumbai system. Offers degrees in Production, Electronics and Telecommunications, Electronics, I.T., Computer, Bio-Medical and Chemical Engineering.

Established in 1994 under the leadership of the Sree Vile Parle Kelavni Mandal and Principal Dr. D.J. Shah.

Also host to the IEEE Brainwaves chapter established by the Electronics Engineering batches graduating in 1998 and 1999. These dedicated IEEE members organise several fun activities including field trips to industry (first one being to Bangalore in 1998), and inter collegiate contests like the 360 degrees extravaganza.

The college has a strong intra-mural sports culture with football (soccer) and cricket being the major sporting events, along with annual chess, table tennis, and other sports. Chemical Engineering and Electronics Engineering departments have sported a healthy rivalry since the founding days of the college.

The college also has a healthy cultural activity center, with students organizing and participating in several cultural festivals across the city.

Affiliated to the University of Mumbai, the College at present conducts the following courses of study in the B. E. Degree with an intake capacity (2007-2008):

1.	Chemical Engineering	60 seats
2.	Electronics Engineering	60 seats

Sardar Patel College of Engineering

Sardar Patel College of Engineering:

Sardar Patel College of Engineering (SPCE) is an engineering college in India. It is located in Andheri, a suburb of Mumbai. It is affiliated to Mumbai University and offer courses leading to graduate (Bachelor) and post-graduate (Master) degrees in Engineering. It is one of the most reputed engineering colleges in India and part of it (aided wing) is supported through the government.

History:

In 1957, the Bharatiya Bhavan conceived the idea of establishing an engineering college in Mumbai. The Engineering Personnel Committee of the Planning Commission had made certain recommendations for the establishment of new engineering colleges and polytechnics, in order to increase the technical manpower in the country. The Government of India accordingly had initiated a liberal policy for setting up private engineering colleges in the states. The proposal of the Bhavan to start an engineering college was favourably received by both the central and state governments.

The total outlay of this project was Rs.70 lakhs. The central and state governments contributed Rs.20 lakhs and Rs.10 lakhs respectively while the Bhavan contributed Rs.28 lakhs. The Sardar Patel Memorial Hall Committee and the Nizam's Charitable Trust donated Rs.1 lakh each and the remaining amount of Rs.10 lakhs was collected by means of grants, donations and advertisement revenues.

The foundation stone of the college was laid on the 17^th of September 1961 by Shri Y.B. Chavan (the then chief minister of Maharashtra who later became the defence minister of India) who had taken a keen interest in the fulfillment of the project. Sardar Vallabhai Patel was closely associated with the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan and in 1946 he was elected an honorary member of the Bhavan in recognition of the keen interest he took in the activities of the Bhavan. It was thus decided that naming the Engineering College after the late Shri Sardar Patel would be a fitting tribute to the "Iron Man" of India.

SPCE was founded in 1962 and inaugurated by the then Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru. At the time, it was only the fourth Engineering Institute in the Bombay region after VJTI, UDCT and IIT Bombay. The college started with three disciplines of engineering - Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering. Electronics and Computer Engineering were started in 1995, Information Technology (IT) in 1998 and Electronics and Telecommunication in 2005. These four courses were privately funded by the college management whereas the Civil, Mechanical and Electrical courses are provided funds by the government.

Mumbai University recognized the college as two separate institutions - SPCE (Aided) offering Civil, Mechanical and Electrical engineering courses and SPCE (Unaided) offering Electronics, Computer Science and IT engineering courses now known as Sardar Patel Institute of Technology (SPIT). The unaided section was formally separated from its parent college in 2005 and established as Sardar Patel Institute of Technology (SPIT). However, the day-to-day operations of the two institutions is often a joint effort as they share some common facilities. The students of the two colleges mingle freely in extracurricular activities.
