Conceived and executed in 1998 with a far-sighted vision to transform the socio-economic profile of the region by Dr. E.M. Abdullah, the doyen of medical fraternity of yesteryears, the College eponymously takes its name from the cherished memory of his gifted mother, the late Syed Ammal, who was the moving force behind the fleet of other illustrious institutions – Syed Ammal Higher Secondary School, Syed Ammal Matric and Higher Secondary School, National Academy Montessori Matric Higher Secondary School, National Academy School, National Academy Matric School, Syed Ammal Arts and Science College, Syed Ammal Trust Hospital – the precursor institution of the Trust - Raasi scan and A.R. Hospital, all with an overarching humanitarian and social focus to uplift the educational standards and wellbeing of the region and beyond - that were to rise up one after another, circa, over a span of six decades.
From its humble beginnings, Syed Ammal Engineering College (SAEC) has striven over the years to bloom into an institution of repute and standard in the comity of institutions of its élan and calibre. Affiliated to Anna University, Chennai, and approved by All India Council of Technical and Education (AICTE) and the State Government, the college offers graduate programmes in Civil Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Information Technology and Mechanical Engineering streams and post-graduate programmes in Computer Science & Engineering, Embedded System Technologies, VLSI design, Manufacturing Engineering, Power Electronics & Drives and Master of Business Administration (MBA).
Spread over an extent of 25 acres of landmass, amidst serene and salubrious environs, the college has state-of –the- art technology and avant-garde resources for its academic and administrative apparatus - be it library, pedagogical aides, class rooms, computing systems, laboratories, workshops or hostels and cafeteria, and even sports and leisure, besides housing a score of professional bodies and chapters, including that of IEEE, ISTE, CSI, IETE, IE (India) and SAE on the one hand and fine arts and culture on the other, to enliven and burnish the seemingly heavy and dreary weltanschauung of engineering education. The college has forged strategic alliances with industry facilitators - Randstat, ICT Academy, E2 , Oracle, ETA– to quote a few- and academic collaboration with UniversitiSains Malaysia, Penang, to bolster its intellectual capital. An exclusive research centre to hone the Faculty expertise in cutting-edge areas of academic ingenuity and vibrant Alumni, spread across the country and spanning overseas, enriches and enlarges the resource base of the college, making it as distinct and dashy as any of its class and calibre.
