Some of the engineering equipment at inspected included Refrigeration and Air Condition systems, turbines, Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing Systems, Numerical Control Milling Systems, a home-made incubator with hatched chicks among others.
Prof. Frimpong-Boateng together with his Special Advisor, Oliver Boachie were received by the President of Academic City, Prof. Fred McBagonluri and faculty who took them on tour of the university.
“Training our people in CAD/CAM is very crucial. We don’t have enough people in the country who really understand this, so we need to train more", he stressed.
