The University is supported by about 860 teachers, 176 under regular and 41 back-log are advertised out of which 162 including 18 backlogs are filled and more than 2500 non-teaching and technical staff.
Hyderabad section IEEE Hyderabad section is one of the most active sections of IEEE in India. IEEE was formally introduced in Hyderabad, in June 1981, when a group of engineers in Hyderabad decided to form an IEEE sub-Section here. This sub-Section was rapidly elevated to a full Section, in 1984 (the year of IEEE Centenary celebrations).
All IEEE members, residing in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India, are automatically members of the IEEE Hyderabad Section. Our strength (in numbers) is 3301 members (as on 31 December 2005). The section has two chapters, Computer Society and PES/IAS.
Awards & Recognitions The IEEE Hyderabad Section has won several recognitions from IEEE HQ and R10. 1. 2005 IAS Distinguished Service Award to Mr. C. Satish. It was given to him during the IAS Annual Meeting held at Hong Kong in October 2005. This was in recognition of dedicated and distinguished service to IEEE Industry Application Society. This is ther first time in its last 17 years of Awards history that a member from outside USA is chosen to get this award. 2. The 2004 R10 Outstanding Volunteer Award was persented to Mr. S Raghunathan for his outstanding contribution to the Hyderabad Section activities for last two decades. 3. The 2002 R10 Outstanding Volunteer Award was persented to Dr. S C Bhargava for his outstanding contribution to the Hyderabad Section activities over last two decades.

Andhra University College of Engineering (A) Andhra
University
College
of
Engineering,
Visakhapatnam, is the campus college of University. At the time of inception, was of only a Department of Engineering
with
Civil
Engineering,
Mechanical
Engineering and Electrical Engineering as the main branches. In the year 1960, the Department of Engineering was shifted to the present spacious North campus spreading over 150 acres of land. The Department of Chemical Technology, instituted in 1933, was also shifted to the same campus in 1962, adding strength to the Engineering Departments. The trifurcation of the University colleges in 1966, led to the inception of the College of Engineering as a separate constituent of the Andhra University.
At present, the College of Engineering consists of 12 Engineering and 4 Basic Sciences departments, totaling to 16 departments, offering 15 Under-Graduate Engineering day-time programmes and 4 UG Engineering part-time programmes; 28 Post-Graduate Engineering programmes, 1 MCA and 3 M.Sc. programmes in various departments. All the departments are also running Ph.D. programmes in different fields of research. The AU College of Engineering has acquired considerable reputation in the country and has several Centers of Excellence in various fields carrying out research in specialized areas. These include Center for Technology Forecasting (futurology) in the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Center for Biotechnology and Center for Phase Equilibrium Thermodynamic in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Center for Energy Systems and Center for Condition monitoring & Vibration Diagnostics in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Center for Remote Sensing and Information System in the Department of Geo Engineering and Centre for Research on Off-Shore Structures in the Department of Civil Engineering. The AU College of Engineering graded along with the Andhra University by National Assessment & Accreditation Council (NAAC) and awarded a rating of A+ (85%). The Government of India through its National Policy of Education implemented the Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme (TEQIP) for overall development of Technical Education in the country. The AU College of Engineering is one of the four Lead Institutions selected in the state of Andhra Pradesh for World Bank Aid.
