==History==
{{More citations needed section|date=May 2016}}
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 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 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=Archived copy |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>
