B.Sc. Mechanical Engineering Technology )

The B.Sc. Mechanical Engineering Technology programme at Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development (AAMUSTED) prepares students to apply mechanical engineering principles in real-world settings. It is a degree-level course that blends theory with practical, hands-on experience. This page explains what the programme involves, who can apply, and where it can lead.

What this programme covers

Programmes of this kind focus on the practical application of mechanical engineering, rather than purely theoretical design. Students typically learn about machinery, manufacturing processes, thermodynamics, materials, and maintenance of mechanical systems. The emphasis is on making things work efficiently, so you gain skills in operating, diagnosing, and repairing equipment, as well as understanding how engineered systems are built and maintained.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this programme is less competitive than many engineering degrees, which means it is more accessible if your grades are solid. AAMUSTED admits students from General Science, Technical Studies, and Visual Arts backgrounds, so you do not necessarily need a pure science route to be considered. The programme is offered at the Kumasi campus, and you can choose between full-time and sandwich study modes.

Where graduates go

Most graduates of mechanical engineering technology move into industry in roles that involve making, installing, or maintaining mechanical systems. Typical employers include factories, automotive workshops, power plants, and construction firms. You might work as a technician, supervisor, or engineer in fields such as manufacturing, energy, and transport.
