B.Sc. Welding and Fabrication Engineering Technology Education

This programme combines hands-on welding and fabrication engineering technology with teaching skills, preparing you for roles in industry and technical education. Based at the Kumasi campus and open to General Science, Technical Studies, and Visual Arts SHS backgrounds, it is a practical path into a skilled profession.

What welding and fabrication is about

Welding and fabrication is the craft of joining and shaping metals and other materials to build structures, machinery, and equipment. Programmes of this kind typically cover welding techniques like arc and gas welding, metal cutting, blueprint reading, and safety practices, along with the principles of engineering design. You also learn how to plan and manage fabrication projects from raw material to finished product.

A teaching-focused path

Because this is an Education programme, you will also study how to teach these skills to others. That means learning lesson planning, classroom management, and assessment methods, so you can pass on your technical knowledge in technical schools, vocational training centres, or industry training departments. This dual focus sets you apart from a pure engineering technician.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry is less competitive than many engineering programmes, which means your grades do not need to be at the very top. As long as you have a background in General Science, Technical Studies, or Visual Arts, you have a reasonable chance. For the exact grade requirements, check with the university directly.
