B. Sc. Automotive Engineering Technology Education

The B.Sc. Automotive Engineering Technology Education programme at Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development prepares you to work with vehicles and teach others to do the same. It blends the practical skills of an automotive engineer with the methods of a teacher. If you enjoy working with machines and want to pass on that knowledge, this programme may be for you.

What you will study on an automotive engineering education programme

Programmes of this kind usually cover vehicle systems, powertrains, electrical and electronic systems, diagnostics, repair and maintenance. You also learn how to plan lessons, manage a workshop classroom, and assess student progress. The goal is to make you confident both at the workbench and in front of a class.

What graduates do after completing the programme

Most graduates use their qualifications to teach automotive technology at senior high schools, technical institutes or vocational training centres. Others move into the automotive industry as workshop supervisors, service managers or technical officers. Because you have teaching skills as well, some graduates take up training roles with vehicle importers, dealerships or the transport sector.

How hard it is to get a place

This programme is less competitive than many engineering degrees. If you have studied General Science, Technical Studies or Visual Arts at SHS, you meet the usual subject background for this kind of programme. The published requirements for this institution state that it is offered in Kumasi in both full-time and sandwich modes.
