ALT The Dean of SES, Ing Prof. Elsie Effah Kaufmann, and the HoD of Agricultural Engineering, Dr. Ing Peace Korshiwor Amoatey, today hosted a brief farewell ceremony for Prof. Cedrick Kwuimy of the University of Cincinnati, marking the end of a transformative five-month visit. A plaque of appreciation was presented to Prof. Kwuimy for his generous service. Among those present were Mrs. Caroline Eleanor Berko, School Administrator, and Prof. Charles Darwin Annan of Université Laval in Canada, a former visiting scholar to the School. Prof. Kwuimy leaves a profound legacy. He revitalised the Introduction to Engineering course, mentored first-year students to present their projects at external conferences, organised high-impact workshops for students and faculty, and continues to provide critical support for the School’s tracer study program. The School of Engineering Sciences thanks him for his dedication and friendship, and assures him that this will always be his home. #ug_engineering
ALT She participated as a technical expert in engineering education, innovation, and science communication. The Encyclopaedia Africana Project, a flagship African Union initiative launched in 1962 by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois, documents Africa’s authentic history, cultures, and contributions to world development. Volume IV focuses on Africa’s role in science, technology, and innovation, highlighting indigenous knowledge systems and amplifying African voices from the continent and the diaspora. We are proud to see our Dean contributing to this historic Pan-African endeavour while championing Ghanaian cultural heritage.
ALT The School of Engineering Sciences hosted a follow-up meeting with Vango, a Chinese Electric Vehicle company, to continue discussions around a potential collaboration focused on establishing a specialised training programme in EV technology, maintenance, and engineering. The meeting was led by Ms. Sara Chang (CEO of Vango) and attended by Mr. Vincent M. Li (Vango) and Cpt. Johnny (GAC Motor). The delegation was welcomed by Ing Prof. Elsie Effah Kaufmann (Dean, SES), alongside Ms. Caroline Berko (School Administrator). We look forward to continued collaboration and stronger industry ties. #ug_engineering #ses_ug #electricvehicles #engagementandpartnerships #industrycollaboration #sustainablemobility
ALT Ing Prof. Elsie Effah Kaufmann, Dean of the School of Engineering Sciences, received a courtesy visit from Prof. Eric Kwasi Ofori, Vice Chancellor of Garden City University College. Prof. Ofori, in the early days of the School of Engineering Sciences, taught Medical Physics and Medical Imaging to our Biomedical Engineering students. The visit was to formally extend an invitation to the Dean for two upcoming engagements: his investiture ceremony scheduled for next month, and to serve as a special guest at the university’s graduation ceremony. We congratulate Prof. Ofori in advance on his investiture and look forward to continued academic partnership. #ug_engineering #ses_ug #engagementandpartnerships #academicpartnership #highereducation
ALT Our industry partners include Voltic Ghana, Special Ice Limited, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and COXY-FIX Interiors. We express our sincere gratitude to Mr. Yawo Nutifafa Agbesi, CEO of UGEL (University of Ghana Enterprises Limited), and all sponsors for their invaluable support and insightful contributions. We thank all who made this programme a success.
ALT Mr. Sarfo paid a courtesy visit to the Dean of the School, Ing Prof. Elsie Effah Kaufmann. During the engagement, he presented her with a specially 3D-printed certificate as a token of appreciation in recognition of her steadfast support for STEM education and the annual robotics competition. The certificate was designed and printed by an engineering student during a 3D printing workshop that Firefly IO organised for SES students, underscoring the creative talent of our young engineers. Firefly IO has been instrumental in nurturing innovation and practical skills among SES students through various workshops and competitions. We thank them for their continued collaboration and look forward to more impactful initiatives that inspire the next generation of engineers.
ALT The School of Engineering Sciences hosted a planning meeting for the upcoming ESUG 20th Anniversary Alumni Homecoming. The delegation included distinguished SES alumnus and Alumni Association President, Dr. Jersley Chirawurah (Postdoctoral Fellow at the West African Center for Cell Biology of Infectious Pathogens, WACCBIP), and Mr. Benedict Agyarkwa, a Ghanaian computer engineer, multimedia executive, founder and CEO of Benace Multimedia, and Technical Lead at Ace Live Studios. Both shared powerful reflections on how their engineering training in problem-solving has shaped their careers in research and industry respectively. The meeting was hosted by the Dean, Ing Prof. Elsie Effah Kaufmann, and also included the current ESUG President, Mr. Stanley Agbola, and the SES Facility Manager, Mr. Michael Fekpeh. All alumni are cordially invited to the homecoming on Friday, 10th July 2026. Link: https://youtu.be/ufhvR1H0GZU #ugengineering #ses_ug #sesalumni #homecoming2026
ALT The competition involved the advanced Cyber-Immune-Autonomy discipline, which integrates artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, robotics, cybersecurity, and embedded systems Their success demonstrates the ability of young Ghanaian talents to excel on the global stage in emerging technology fields critical to future industries.
ALT The School of Engineering Sciences recently hosted another delegation from the University of Johannesburg (UJ), South Africa, to continue discussions on a strategic collaboration focused on UG–UJ Food Innovation.
