Sardar Patel College of Engineering (SPCE) is an engineering college located in Mumbai, India. It is affiliated to the University of Mumbai and offers undergraduate (Bachelor) and graduate (Master) degrees in engineering. It is one of the few Mumbai University affiliated colleges that have received Grade ’A’ rating from the Government of Maharashtra. The college is supported by government funds, and was granted autonomous status by the UGC in June 2010.
The college was founded in 1961 as a government-aided engineering college by Kulapati Dr. K. M. Munshi under the management of the Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan. The foundation stone of the college was laid on 17 September 1961 by Yashwantrao Chavan, who was then the Chief Minister of Maharashtra. The college was inaugurated by the first Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru in 1962. The college is dedicated to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, an eminent nation builder of independent India.
The college started with courses in civil, electrical and mechanical engineering with an initial intake of 40 in each branch that was subsequently increased to 60. At the time, it was only the fifth engineering institute in the Bombay region after Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute, University Department of Chemical Technology, IIT Bombay and M. H. Saboo Siddik College of Engineering. The institute introduced its first post-graduate course, a Masters of Engineering (Civil) with structural engineering subjects, in 1988 with aid from the Ministry of Human Resource Development. Subsequently a post-graduate program in mechanical engineering disciplines was also introduced.
