5. A toddler institution in India, Providence College of Engineering, with an ambitious vision is preparing for our glittering
engineers to walk away with glorified dignity and matured emotions.
The voice of the precision CNC machines, screaming of UTM under pressure, cracking sound of generators and motors are
melodious utterances for our final year students. Arduino board based silent designs, and active artificial intelligence are creative
mementos for this new generation engineers to march ahead with confidence. The theory–tutorial blend of teaching along with
micro projects every semester added industrial flavor to Providence teaching methodology with creative thinking capability.
We the dedicated faculty and staff march ahead with prosperity under the leadership of highly devoted management.

Message From The Director

6. "There are far far better things ahead than any we leave behind" - CS Lewis.
It's three years since we commenced operations with a vision to nurture globally competent, socially committed, innovative
engineers. Within this short span, we have made a mark and Providence is a name to be reckoned with, among the best
engineering colleges in Kerala.
Our academic results have been excellent, projects have been recognised at larger forums and our international workshops/
exhibitions have received much attention and appreciation. Many high ranking officials from AICTE and KTU, who have
visited our campus, are highly appreciative of the progress that we are making. We have also initiated many socially relevant
activities in collaboration with NSS, SAGY and PMKVY for the people in our neighborhood.
Our choir, music band, arts and sports teams have also performed well. Providence Angeli, Providence United and Providence
Lakers are all names that are being spoken of. The vibrant young men and women studying here are not referred to as 'students'.
They are called "Trainee Engineers". In every sense, we train them to be competent engineers. We give specific training in core
areas and in soft skills to ensure the placement of all who pass out from here. We have also tied up with various companies for
internship and placement. Yes, there are far far better things ahead.
We are moving forward with a clear plan to make Providence College of Engineering a globally recognized institution of repute.
I am sure, with the commitment of our Trainee Engineers, their parents and blessings of the Almighty, we will achieve this goal.
Best wishes and a warm welcome to the Providence family.

7. I consider it a great blessing and privilege for me to be entrusted with the responsibility of developing the research initiatives at
this great institution. With majestic buildings radiating the glory of the Lord, the college campus has an academic atmosphere
vibrant with enthusiasm and energy with eagerness to learn, develop, perform and contribute to society, locally or globally.
Having done my postgraduate education at IIT Madras and having worked 50+ years in academic institutions all over the
world in academic/research/consultancy, I have been gifted with definite and specific plans for charting its research journey
ahead. The beautiful landscape and water bodies around the campus, give wide scope not only for recreation facilities, but also
for building models of oil & gas platforms and floating facilities for tests related to research. Our trainee engineers are given
individual personal attention for every course, with necessary remedies being implemented at the appropriate time.
Our final year projects are planned to be product oriented as well as relevant, using local materials, indigenous technology
and addressing current issues. These are supervised by energetic faculty with very good research standing and number of
publications. It is aimed to publish the results of final year projects in relevant in indexed conference proceedings and journals.
Hailing from Chengannur, I am greatly committed to input all my wisdom and insight for developing this institution into a
premier technological university!
Best wishes and warm welcome to the Providence family!
