time, this was the only College of Engineering in the WesternPresidency. In the Madras Presidency, the industrial school attached to the Gun Carriage Factorybecame ultimately the Guindy College of Engineering and affiliated to the Madras University(1858). The educational work in the three Colleges of Sibpur, Poona and Guindy has been moreor less similar. They all had licentiate courses in civil engineering up to 1880, when theyorganized degree classes in this branch alone. After 1880, the demand for mechanical andelectrical engineering was felt, but the three Engineering Colleges started only apprenticeshipclasses in these subjects. The Victoria Jubilee Technical Institute, which was started at Bombayin 1887, had as its objective the training

First, two separate Master of Technology programswere merged in 2005-06 to feature a set of core courses and two tracks. Then, in 2010 thedegree was renamed Master of Science and the department introduced two new specializations inMechanical Engineering Technology and in Systems Control Technology. The program seeks toprepare individuals with advanced technical competencies, capable of engaging in translationalresearch applications, and who also have opportunities to develop a basic level of business skillsrelated to project management, business planning, technology forecasting, entrepreneurship,organizational leadership, logistics
