Established in the era of British in the year 1854, well before any of the formal degree awarding universities took roots in India, College of Engineering Pune (COEP) now known as COEP Technological University (COEP Tech) is the third oldest engineering college in the country, and indeed in Asia, after College of Engineering, Guindy, and IIT Roorkee, having glorious history of 170 years. Started as the Poona Engineering Class and Mechanical School, it was used for training officers involved in public works such as the construction of buildings, dams, canals, railways and bridges. The school was renamed several times before it became College of Engineering, Poona (COEP), in the year 1911. It was initially affiliated to the University of Bombay for a degree of Licentiate in Civil Engineering known as LCE and later to the University of Pune. The degree programs in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering were started in 1908, 1912 and 1932, respectively. From then on, the college has gone on expanding adding new departments and new wings by the year.
The very fact that Bharat Ratna Sir M. Visvesvarayya, was the alumnus of the COEP, in whose honor “Engineers Day” is celebrated in the country, demonstrates the legacy and importance of College of Engineering Pune. This legacy is continued by several living legends like Prof Thomas Kailath, Dr. Vijay Kelkar, Prof. S. G. Dhande, Mrs. Leena Poonawala, who are illustrious alumni of the institution, honored by “Padma” awards.
