Message from Dr. -Ing Peace K. Amoatey

HOD of the Department Agricultural Engineering

As Head of the Department, I take immense pride in steering a pragmatic, student-centric educational approach aimed at cultivating a critical mass of engineers poised to revolutionize agriculture in Ghana and beyond. The progression of our nation hinges upon the augmentation and modernization of agriculture, ensuring an abundance of food for our populace and for export to global markets. Our undergraduate and graduate programs are meticulously designed to develop engineers who will ardently confront the challenges of food insecurity head-on.

The Department's motto, 'We engineer the entire agricultural value chain', epitomizes our commitment to equipping our students to mitigate food losses by optimizing the value chain, thus reducing the struggles associated with agricultural production.

The achievements of our students are attributed to the collective teaching and research prowess of our esteemed faculty, who continuously explore innovative methodologies to enhance teaching and learning, making it both effective and participatory while nurturing an entrepreneurial spirit. Faculty members remain steadfast in leveraging contemporary scientific advancements to enlighten and empower our students. Moreover, the department is unwavering in its quest to secure internships for students, reinforcing the theoretical underpinnings with practical, hands-on experience.

I extend a warm invitation to students and parents who share our vision of addressing the challenges of food insecurity to embark on a transformative journey of teaching and learning with our department. To our future students, I express my heartfelt gratitude in advance and wish you all a fulfilling educational experience and a prosperous career.

Join us in shaping the future of agriculture. Together, we engineer progress.
