[edit] History
Andhra University was established in 1926. Located on the uplands of Visakhapatnam, the campus has the Bay of Bengal on one side and the Kailasagiri hill range on the other. Sir Dr.C.R.Reddy was the founder Vice-Chancellor of the university.
Andhra University College of Engineering (Autonomous), Visakhapatnam, is the campus college of University. At the time of inception in 1955 it was a Department of Engineering with Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering as the main branches.
In 1960, the Department of Engineering was shifted to the present North campus spread over 150 acres (0.61 km2) of land. The Department of Chemical Technology, instituted in 1933, was shifted to the same campus in 1962, adding strength to the Engineering Departments. In 1966, the College of Engineering (Autonomous) became a constituent of the Andhra University.
[edit] Present
The College of Engineering (Autonomous) consists of 12 Engineering and four Basic Sciences departments, totalling 16 departments, offering 15 undergraduate Engineering day-time programmes and four undergraduate Engineering part-time programmes; 28 postgraduate Engineering programmes, one MCA and three M.Sc. programmes. All the departments run Ph.D programmes in research.
The college has Centres of Excellence carrying out research in specialized areas. These include:
- The International Center for Bioinformatics
- Advanced Center for Nano Technology
- Center for Biotechnology in the Department of Chemical Engineering
- Center for Phase Equilibrium Thermodynamics in the Department of Chemical Engineering
- Center for Energy Systems in the Department of Mechanical Engineering
- Center for Condition Monitoring and Vibration Diagnostics in the Department of Mechanical Engineering
- Center for Remote Sensing and Information Systems in the Department of Geo Engineering
- Centre for Research on Off-Shore Structures in the Department of Civil Engineering
The college is graded along with the Andhra University by National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) and awarded a rating of A + (85%).
The college is one of the four Lead Institutions selected in the state of Andhra Pradesh for World Bank Aid.
