About Department of Geo-Engineering, Andhra University
Andhra University’s Geo-Engineering department in Visakhapatnam runs B.Tech Geo Informatics, M.Tech in Geo-Engineering and Remote Sensing, and PhD research.
The Department of Geo-Engineering, also called Geo-Engineering and Resource Development Technology, grew out of the Engineering Geology division of Civil Engineering and became independent in 1980. It offers a B.Tech in Geo Informatics, an M.Tech in Geo-Engineering, a four-semester M.Tech in Remote Sensing, and a PhD in Geo Engineering. Its Centre for Remote Sensing and Information Systems was sanctioned in 1983, and an ISRO-funded remote sensing and GIS laboratory supports joint teaching and research. The department suits students interested in GIS, remote sensing, engineering geology and natural resource mapping.
