Message from the Dean

Your time as a university student is certainly one of the most exciting and challenging periods in your life, so choosing the right programme is a very important decision. The Faculty of Engineering (FOE), Tamale Technical University (TaTU) is one of the main faculties in Tamale Technical University. The Faculty of Engineering is distinctively dedicated to teaching, research and service which is practically oriented.

Another distinctive feature of the Faculty of Engineering is that of community service and problem solving techniques from a core part of the curriculum. Each student will be required to spend six to eight weeks out of every long vacation in a field of study to tackle engineering related, value creation problems of our rural folks. You will notice that all our programmes translate into professional jobs in the engineering sector. This means that each of you should readily find placement in our engineering fields.

However, those of you who wish to set up your own private training would be equipped with the knowledge and skills that will enable you establish successful and prosperous practices. Equally important is the fact that, the deployment of information technology and communication (ICT) facilities for teaching, learning, research and administration is a key feature of life at FOE. This should situate you firmly in the twenty-first century, ahead of your counterparts in some other universities.

I congratulate each of you for your courage and your quest for academic novelty in choosing FOE as your preferred choice in your academic ladder. My team of Engineers, Drs., lecturers and administrators would like to assure you that you are going to enjoy every minute of your time at the Faculty. Our motto is ‘Reaching out for Development’. It is our aim to instil in each student, the principles of integrity, hard work, self-discipline and a love for service to the country. I look forward to personally welcoming each of you individually and inviting you to join us at Tamale Technical University Faculty of Engineering in this life-transforming academic experience in the field of engineering.
