About us
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 the College of Engineering in 1861 with the inclusion of the Mechanical Engineering course.
CEG began its journey as a school of survey established by the East India Company in 1794 at the Fort St.George, Madras. There were only eight students initially. It was started by the initiative 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 to Civil Engineering School and moved to the Kalasa Mahal buildings in Chepauk in 1858. The scope was to train upper and lower subordinates. The College was affiliated with the Madras University in 1862.
Civil Engineering was a much sought-after field of study, a speciality in those early days. The first set of the students received the DCE degree in 1864. In 1920, the College moved into the sprawling 185-acre campus at Guindy. In 1925, Rao Bahadur G. Nagarathinam Ayyar became the first Indian Principal of the College. This institution became the oldest technical institution in Asia and has several firsts to its credit. The shifting of the college to Guindy was the impact of conducting the Degree courses in Mechanical Engineering, and paved the way for rapid expansion to add some more Degree courses.
Approaches of MCA
The programme is designed to impart in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of computer science and application of the theoretical knowledge covered in different papers and project part of the course. Focus is on programming, software design, database management, network and web technologies and newer trends such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing and data science. The program is based around practical learning and students will spend much of their time in labs, with coding exercises and live projects/internship that develop problem solving and technology skills.
In addition to the fundamentals, the program also covers recent practice and technology using case studies, workshops and seminars. An aspect of research or project also supports creativity and self-direction. MCA, by following outcome-based education system, guarantees that its students become critically thinking and effective teammates and communicators in addition to being technically qualified that industry requires – to meet the challenges of modern IT domains.
