CEG was established in May of 1794, as a School of Survey with one student in a building near Fort St. George. Founded by Michael Topping, the school became the Civil Engineering School in 1858. Subsequently, CEG was established as a college in 1859 under the Madras University. It was then rechristened as College of Engineering in 1861 with the inclusion of the Mechanical Engineering course.

It was started by the initiation of Michael Topping, an Astronomical Surveyor. He was succeeded by John Golding Ham, who was an Architect and Marine Surveyor. The name of the survey school was changed as Civil Engineering School and moved to Kalasa Mahal buildings in Chepauk in 1858. The scope was to train upper and lower subordinates. The College was affiliated to the Madras University in 1862.
