History

Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues College of Engineering (CRCE) was established in 1984 as part of Fr. Agnel Technical Complex by the Society of St. Xavier, Pilar. It is one of the few colleges which has received an "A" grade ever since the inception of the grading system among colleges affiliated to the University of Mumbai.

College is named after its founder, late Rev. Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues. He was a rare visionary, freedom fighter, possessed with unbounded energy and resoluteness of purpose. Under the inspiration of this charismatic founder, the Agnel Fathers (the trustees of the Society of St. Francis Xavier, Pilar) realized that their contribution to the process of nation building would be through the spread of facilities for technical education and accordingly acquired experience in providing technical education facilities through the establishment of Technical Educational complexes in different part of country - Bandra (Mumbai), Vashi (Navi Mumbai), Verna (Goa), New Delhi, Noida, Pune, and Ambarnath (Thane). Each unit imparts technical education at various levels - skilled trades, technicians, and engineers.

Though Fr. Rodrigues did not live long enough to see his dream come true in the form of College of Engineering at Bandra, the clearance for this college had just been obtained days before his sudden demise in 1984. The college today proudly bears his name as a fitting tribute to his impassioned faith in highly qualified and fully trained engineers and technicians in the service of the nation. The visionary principles on which the institution was founded have been nurtured and fostered in succeeding years and continue to guide the functioning of the college even today.

The College was started in 1984 with only one course Production Engineering with intake capacity of 60 students. Three years later, in 1987, course in Electronics Engineering was started with intake capacity of 60 students. In 1991, course in Computer Engineering was started with intake capacity of 60 students. In 2000, the intake capacity of Computer Engineering Course was doubled. In 2001, the course in Information technology was started with intake capacity of 30 students.

General Information

The college is popular for having strict disciplinary principles and a firm moral belief in compulsory attendance. The vision of the college is "Moulding engineers who can serve the nation". The Mission of the college is "Making quality education affordable". The college hosts two festivals in an academic year. The technical festival is called "Crescendo" which attracts participants from many engineering colleges in Mumbai. The cultural festival "Euphoria" is an intra-college event meant only for the CRCEites. Fr. CRCE probably has the most scenic location among all the colleges in Mumbai, located at the end of the wonderful sea side promenade popularly known as 'Bandstand'. Its hostel is located at Goldcrest, Kalina, Santacruz (East), Mumbai.
