About PCET

Pimpri Chinchwad Education Trust (PCET) was established by the Late Shri. S.B. Patil in the September of 1990. Its sole mission was aimed at serving society, the industry and all stakeholders through value-inculcating, quality education in the area of schooling, as well as professional tutelage in the fields of engineering, management and computer applications.

Situated at a very approachable location near Akurdi Railway Station, Nigdi, Pune, PCET is a well-established and time tested brand in Education since 1990.

PCET has seven institutes Pimpri Chinchwad Polytechnic (PCP), Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering (PCCoE), S.B. Patil Institute of Management (SBPIM), S.B. Patil Public School (SBPPS), Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering and Research (PCCoER), S B Patil College of Science and Commerce, Ravet (SBPCSC) and S B Patil College of Architecture and Design (SBPCAD).

PCET has always been committed to its mission by creating, communicating, preserving and applying knowledge, art and academic values.

At the campus of Akurdi, Pune, near 7,200 students are being groomed in specialized courses like Engineering, MBA, MCA& PGDM by professional and passionate instructors. The campuses at Ravet are school to 1,200 would-be graduates at the College of Engineering, around 800 pupils at the Junior College, and approximately 2,500 students at the Public School, all amounting to a total of 11,700-odd students.

About PCCOE

Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering (PCCoE) is one of the best engineering Institutions in Pune, established in 1999 (autonomous from 2020, affiliated to SavitribaiPhule Pune University, Pune), nurtured and managed by Pimpri Chinchwad Education Trust (PCET). PCCoE is functioning proactively to provide the best professional environment to engineering and management students in terms of academics, industry oriented trainings, sports, co-curricular & extracurricular activities, cultural activities, various competitions, etc to create true aesthetically sensitive, socially committed and technologically competent engineers and management professionals.

Academic at PCCoE is disciplined with results at the par of best colleges in SavitribaiPhule Pune University (SPPU). Students of PCCoE are proving their talents at state and national level competitions for technical and non-technical events. Along with results,PCCoE has excellent track record of placements. The output of any institute is the input of industry. We sincerely thank our industrial counterparts who help shaping the industry focused personalities of our students through their direct mentorship and continued interaction.

The Journey of i-MACE at PCCoE

The International Conference on Innovations in Mechanical and Civil Engineering (i-MACE) at Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering (PCCoE), Pune, has evolved into a distinguished international forum for advancing engineering knowledge, fostering innovation, and enabling meaningful dialogue among academicians, researchers, industry professionals, practitioners, and emerging scholars. i-MACE was conceived as a platform for interdisciplinary exchange and dissemination of contemporary research and over successive editions has mirrored the changing technological landscape and evolving priorities of Mechanical and Civil Engineering.

i-MACE’s journey began with the very first edition, i-MACE 2022, laying the foundation for international research exchange and collaborative exploration of emerging engineering solutions. The 2nd International Conference, i-MACE 2023, has advanced this vision with the theme “GREEN & SMART Systems”, putting sustainability and intelligent technologies at the center of engineering conversation. This progress was continued in the next edition i-MACE 2024, themed “Resilient and Adaptive Smart Technologies,” which reflects the increasing need for intelligent, adaptive, resilient and responsive engineering systems to emerging global challenges. The 4th edition, i-MACE 2025, further added to the conference as a platform for dissemination of research, interdisciplinary engagement, industry-academia interaction and exploration of emerging technologies and sustainable engineering practices.

Building on this intellectual and collaborative legacy, the 5th edition, i-MACE 2027, represents yet another significant milestone in this continuing journey. The overarching theme of the conference is “Leveraging Smart Technologies for a Sustainable Future” and the conference seeks to explore how intelligent and emerging technologies can be transformative in addressing complex engineering and societal challenges. i-MACE 2027 aims to provide an international forum to present state-of-the-art research, share academic knowledge, encourage multi-disciplinary collaborations, and convert technological innovations into sustainable and impactful engineering solutions. It covers a wide range of disciplines such as smart manufacturing and automation, digital twins and advanced design, climate-adaptive water and environmental systems, smart and sustainable construction, intelligent transportation, advanced materials, fire and security engineering, and technology-enabled pathways to the Sustainable Development Goals.

Over the years, i-MACE journey reflects a progressive transition from innovation to green and smart systems, from resilience and adaptability to intelligent technologies for sustainability. i-MACE at PCCoE is envisioned not only as a biennial academic event but as an ongoing platform for connecting ideas, disciplines, institutions and advancing knowledge, improvising and shaping engineering solutions for a sustainable and resilient future
