History

College of Engineering Andhra University Logo

Andhra University was established in 1926, by Sir Dr. C.R.Reddy the Vice-Chancellor of the Andhra University. Andhra University College of Engineering, Visakhapatnam, is an autonomous college, which had at its beginning only one Department of Engineering with Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering as the main branches. Shifting to the present spacious North campus in 1960, the Department of Engineering was joined in the same campus by The Department of Chemical Technology, in 1962, adding strength to the Engineering Departments. The trifurcation of the University colleges in 1966, led to the commencement of the College of Engineering (also Autonomous) as a separate constituent of the Andhra University.
