Department of Agricultural Engineering

INTRODUCTION

The Department of Agricultural Engineering is one of five academic departments within the School of Agriculture of the University of Cape Coast. It played unique role in the training of the Agriculture students in the engineering principles and technology to provide solutions to problems in agriculture.

The Department of Agricultural Engineering is hopeful that it will be the nucleus for the development of a programme for the award of an engineering degree and/or related programmes.
