Dean's Welcome

Your time at the Faculty of Engineering (FOE), Tamale Technical University (TaTU), marks an exciting and challenging chapter in your life. Choosing FOE means selecting a programme dedicated to practical, hands-on teaching, research, and service. A key feature of our curriculum is community engagement: every student must spend six to eight weeks each long vacation solving engineering-related problems and creating value for rural communities. All our programmes lead directly to professional engineering jobs, ensuring you will readily find placement. For those who wish to start their own practice, you will gain the knowledge and skills to build successful enterprises. Additionally, the deployment of ICT for teaching, learning, research, and administration keeps you firmly in the twenty-first century, ahead of peers at other universities.

I congratulate you for your courage and academic ambition in choosing FOE. My team of Professors, Engineers, Doctors, lecturers, and administrators promise that you will enjoy every moment here. Guided by our motto, ‘Reaching out for Development’, we aim to instill 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 you to join us in a life-transforming academic experience in engineering and technology.
