To Create New Frontiers of Knowledge in Quest for

Development of a Humane and Just Society

Andhra University is not just one of the oldest educational institutions in the
country , but is also the first to be conceived as a residential and teachingcum-
affiliating University, mainly devoted to post-graduate teaching and research.

Andhra University was constituted in the year 1926 by the Madras Act of
1926. The 86-year-old institution is fortunate to have Sir C.R. Reddy as its
founder Vice-Chancellor , as the steps taken by this visionary proved to be
fruitful in the long run.

The alumni of the University occupy important positions in government

administration, Industry and research organisations within and outside the
country. The Government of Andhra Pradesh has appointed the professors of
the University as chairman and vice-chairman of the APSCHE and presently
ten Universities had Vice chancellors from Andhra University

There are 636 affiliated colleges spread across five districts under the
territorial jurisdiction of Andhra University. The enrolment in Affiliated
Colleges is more than 1.5 lakh.

Recognising the innovative, modern and industrial related curriculum in all

courses of the college, research, R&D and consultancy projects undertaken
by the faculty, leadership and development, the college has been selected
for upgradation of IIT status

The college is accredited by NAAC with A grade (3.65/4.0),by NBA with

5 years. The college is 9001-2008 certified

STAR NEWS International TV Channel has adjudged Andhra University

College of Engineering (A) as the BEST ENGINEERING COLLEGE
in February 2011.

 In 2014,AU was ranked 27th among the top 50 engineering colleges in India
by the Education World Magazine & ranked 10th among the top universities
offering PG courses by India Today
FROM VICE CHANCELLOR'S
DESK
It is a matter of great pleasure and pride for me
to invite you to walk through the portals of
Andhra University. As one of the oldest Indian
university it us well known for imparting higher
Prof. G. Nageswara Rao education in traditional and contemporary
Vice-Chancellor areas of science, engineering, arts, commerce,
Andhra University
law and fine arts with international standards
and recognition.

Initiated by the founder Vice-chancellor

Dr.C.R.Reddy in 1926, legendries like Dr.
Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, a great visionary have continued the tradition
of initiating innovative academic programs of national and international
relevance and contributed to sustained development of this university.

The Universitys attention in n augmenting state of the art equipment,

infrastructure and library facilities and conceptualizing and
implementing healthy practices in teaching and administration with
democratic team spirit has been applauded by the NAAC, the apex body
to judge the credibility of any Indian University.

Five constituent colleges and five P.G. Centers of the University

provide quality training and research leading to Masters and Doctoral
degrees in more than 160 courses. Apart from under graduate
programmes in Engineering and Technology the University offers
Under graduate degree programmes with a variety of combinations of
subjects in B.A., B.Sc., and B.Com courses. Believing in more focused
training in professional courses, the University recently started five year

FROM HOD'S DESK
It gives an immense pleasure to release halfyearly newsletter of Marine
Engineering Department for the year 2016. During last year, various
curricular and co-curricular activities were conducted successfully by
the department. Participation of students and faculty in various training
programs and International conferences was the most encouraging
factor, which we want to continue in coming years also. Through
periodic seminars, workshops, industrial visits and
industrial training as integral parts of the course, the student were
equipped with technical knowledge, critical thinking skills and
creativity to excel in the engineering profession. The marine
engineering department is committed to create conducive atmosphere
for the development of young brains into bright professionals of future.
I believe, that in the years to come, armed with commitment and
perseverance of faculty and staff, the department will continue to be the
trend-setter in offering an array of curricular and co-curricular activities
in order to achieve academic excellence.
DEPARTMENT OF MARINE ENGINEERING
The idea of starting the Marine Engineering course was mooted because of the
old-age links of maritime trade and a long coastline, boosting the enormous
marine and oil wealth. With the defense and protective needs of the Country,
Visakhapatnam was long destined to become not only a viable Port City but
also a center of learning of Marine Engineering. In 1965, with the concurrence
of the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Shipping and Transport, The
Government of India and the Directorate General of Shipping, Marine
Engineering specialization was introduced in the form of electives to
undergraduate students of Mechanical Engineering.

In 1971, Marine Engineering course was started with the approval of the
Ministry of Education and AICTE. In 1981, the course was restructured as
Marine Engineering and Machine Handling specialization to cater to the needs
of the industry. The department of Marine Engineering was constituted in the
year 1981. The department here is a shining example of the coordination that
exists between the university and the local Marine and Shipping organizations.

5
A training program for the engine/ Deck cadets of Dredging Corporation of
India Limited(DCI) has been constituting since 1977 in the department.

With increasing onshore and offshore oil exploration activities and the
Potential Wealth of Marine resources, a four year BE (Naval Architecture)
degree course was started in the year 1981, to cater the needs of Hindustan
Shipyard Limited, Naval Science Technological Labs, National Ship Design
and Research Center, Indian Navy and Visakhapatnam Port Trust. In the year
1999, the Indian Navy has started B.Sc. (Tech) Marine Engineering (4 year)
course on self-finance basis. The courses have been merged into a single
course NAVAL ARCHITECTURE AND MARINE ENGINEERING in
2009. The courses offered by the department are B.E. (Naval Architecture and
Marine
Engineering), M.E. (Marine
Engineering and Machine
Handling) and Ph.D.

The department has so far more

than 900
undergraduates and
about 200 postgraduates and
many of them have risen to
occupy the highest posts in the
Merchant Navy and Shipping
Industries in India and abroad.
