'''Sardar Patel College of Engineering''' ('''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]]. It is located in [[Munshi Nagar]], [[Andheri]] (West), [[Mumbai]].


The students and alumni of college are colloquially referred to as '''SPCEians'''.
The College is an educational institute offering courses in the field of engineering, financially aided by the state government of [[Maharashtra]]. Until 1994, three disciplines of engineering were offered: [[civil engineering]], [[mechanical engineering]], and [[electrical engineering]]. [[Electronics]] and [[computer science]] were introduced in 1995, but as a privately funded effort, as Government funding was not forthcoming. [[Information technology]] was introduced in 1998.


==History==
The University of Bombay continued to recognise the college as two separate institutions &mdash; Aided and Unaided. In 2005, the Unaided institution was separated from the parent college and renamed the [[Sardar Patel Institute of Technology]](SPIT). SPIT now has its own facilities, which are independent of those of SPCE.

The college was founded in 1961 as a government-aided engineering college by Kulapati Dr. K. M. Munshi under the management of the [[Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan Educational Trust|Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan]]. The foundation stone of the college was laid on 17 September 1961 by [[Yashwantrao Chavan]], who was then the [[List of Chief Ministers of Maharashtra|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]], [[Institute of Chemical Technology|University Department of Chemical Technology]], [[IIT Bombay]] and [[M. H. Saboo Siddik College of Engineering]].{{citation needed|date=May 2016}} 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.
The college hosts the annual SPACE inter-collegiate festival in January or February. An intra-college festival Techno-Break is held in the latter part of the year. The annual magazine published by students every year is titled [http://disha.spce.ac.in Disha]. SPCE shares campus space with [[Bhavan's College]], the [[SP Jain Institute of Management]], the Hansraj Morarji High School and Wadia High School. The campus has a [[botanical garden]], a temple, a picturesque lake and a student's hostel. Since [[2005]] the [[Bhavan's Campus]] has boasted two separate engineering colleges in the same campus.


The college is autonomous and affiliated to the University of Mumbai for its full-time degree, post graduate, and research programs. The institute is a recognised PhD and QIP center and it is one of the [[Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme|TEQIP]]-II & TEQIP-III institutes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.qip.cce.iisc.ernet.in/|title=Quality Improvement Program - Home|website=Qip.cce.iisc.ernet.in|accessdate=19 October 2017}}</ref>
The parent body, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan was among the first educational trusts to have recognised this need, and has furthered the interests of aspiring engineering students and also met the needs of the challenging world of business. Over the last forty years the college has gained an excellent reputation in the field of Technical Education. SPCE is one of the few colleges that has received grade "A+" rating for its aided courses and an "A" grade for the un-aided courses from the Government of Maharashtra.


The University of Mumbai recognised the college as two separate institutions - SPCE (Aided) offering Civil, Mechanical and Electrical engineering courses and SPCE (Unaided - now a separate institute called SPIT) offering Computer Engineering, Electronics & Information Technology courses. The university desired that these self-financed courses be separated and housed in a separate building and developed as a separate self-financed entity. Thus, in 2005-06 the unaided wing was formally separated from its parent college and established as [[Sardar Patel Institute of Technology]] (SPIT).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.collegekhabar.com/college/view/Sardar-Patel-College-of-Engineering-Mumbai|title=Contact Support|website=Collegekhabar.com|accessdate=19 October 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.spce.ac.in/about/ |title=About « Sardar Patel College of Engineering |accessdate=2013-11-07 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131212120145/http://www.spce.ac.in/about/ |archivedate=12 December 2013 |df=dmy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.spce.edu/history.htm|title=In 1957|website=Spce.edu|accessdate=19 October 2017}}</ref>
Sardar Patel College of Engineering is one of the top five engineering institutes of the state, stands apart as a symbol of quality in engineering education. This has been possible because of the dedication of its competent faculty, committed students, its mission to influence the quality of engineering education in industry and the ability to bridge the gap between an academic institution and a challenging business world.
SPCE students have maintained a proud tradition of excellent academic records by securing high ranks, gold medals and other awards in the University examinations.
This is the first college(affiliated to Mumbai University) to start part-time degree and postgraduate courses. The college has produced more than 7,000 graduate and around 100 postgraduate engineers. Many of their past students are now leaders in their professions, and today SPCE alumni can be found in all public and private sector organisations operating in diverse fields, often holding senior and key positions.


==Campus==
The college is located in Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan's lush green campus at Munshi Nagar, [[Andheri]] (West), Mumbai- 400058. The campus has a bank extension ([[Indian Bank]]), a lake and a botanical garden, Lord Shiva Temple, Bhavan's Adventure Park, greenery everywhere.


The college is at about 2&nbsp;km from [[Andheri railway station|Andheri Railway Station]]. And also about 7–8&nbsp;km from [[Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport|Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport]] (CSIA), Mumbai.


The college is also at 2 minutes walkable distance from [[Azad Nagar metro station|Azad Nagar Metro Station]]
