Conceicao Rodrigues, a patriot and founder of Agnel Ashram, who died in 1984 after making a contribution in the field of technical education at national level.

Under his inspiration, the Agnel Fathers (the trustees of the Society of St. Francis Xavier, Pilar) established technical education complexes around India.

Thermal Lab 1 In this laboratory, Internal Combustion Engine (IC Engine) and Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (RAC) practical's are performed to teach students about basic laws of thermodynamics, heat transfer between various systems and conversion of heat to one form to another form, and the fundamental knowledge about the design and analysis of refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

This laboratory is equipped with: 1. equipment’s and experimental set ups to study the fundamentals and applied aspects of fluid mechanics and fluid machines, 2. with centrifugal pump and reciprocating pump in which students can find out the performance test and efficiency at different operating conditions to study Gas Dynamics & Hydraulic Machines, and 3. with different test setups which exhibit various concepts related to shell and tube heat exchanger, natural and forced convection, emissivity of a surface, boiling and condensation to study Heat & Mass transfer.

The Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing Laboratory equipped with software's like SolidWorks, Ansys, CADEM seeNC turning and milling simulation software's are used to train the students on design and drawing requirements, and to structural analysis.

This laboratory is used to teach students to test and analyze the strength of different materials subject to various loading conditions.

This is an integrated laboratory covering Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Control Theory applications for the modelling and design of intelligent automated system and equipped with various simulation software's and trainer kits for hands-on experience This laboratory is used to teach 1.

The lab provides the students with microprocessor kits and other electronic devices required to program and implement the circuits ranging from a simplest LED lighting system to advanced robotics projects.

The lab introduces students to digital electronics and lays a foundation for advanced courses such as Microprocessors and Micro Controllers.

The lab is a part of the introductory course for the freshers in order to learn electric circuits, LEDs, and other simple electronics and electrical components that act as a foundation for the courses that follow in the advanced semesters.The degree programme in Computer Engineering has been in existence since the inception of the college in 1997.

[6][7] PCCE has the fourth largest campus among the engineering colleges in Goa, with a library that houses around 13,000 books.

The college has associations and linkages with industry and other organisations, such as a Memorandum of Understanding with National Institute of Oceanography, EMC Corporation, and D-Link.
