Faculty of Engineering Sciences - University of Ghanahas been dictated by increasing concentration ofpeople in urban areas, where large segment of thepopulation depend on large quantities of pre-treated,pre-processed, or ready-to-eat foodstuffs. Driven bythis need, food process engineers are at the forefrontof developing and refining food products that areuniform in quality and safe. Another emerging trendis the preferences for non-thermal processed foods.Food process engineers are thus applying techniquessuch as highly hydrostatic pressure, pulsed electricfields, light pulses, ultrasound and magnetic fields tosatisfy this demand.AssessmentStudents are assessed through a combination ofassignments, examinations and projects.Entry RequirementsSee General Admission Requirements andProcedures pages.Career ProspectsGraduate of Food Process Engineering work in diversefields in academia, public sector and food industryin the following areas.• Process and Product Development• Food Processing Operations• Packaging• Food Safety• Food Biotechnology• Process and Quality Monitoring and ControlB.Sc Engineering[Material Science & Egineering]DurationCampusAwarding Faculty4 yearsLegon CampusEngineeringOverviewMaterials Science and Engineering [MSE] is a fieldof engineering that applies the tools of basic andapplied science to the processing, manufacture andapplication of materials and devices.Materials Science studies the relationship betweenthe structure of materials at atomic or molecular scalesand their macroscopic properties, incorporatingelements of applied physics and chemistry. It spansthe range of metals, ceramics, polymers [plastics],semiconductors and combinations of materialsknown as composites.Materials scientists and engineers specialise in thecharacterisation, development, processing, anduse of metallic, ceramic, polymeric, and electronicmaterials that are employed in diverse fields oftechnology.Aims and Objectives• A detailed understanding of the relevant theoreticalfoundations and concepts of mathematics,chemistry, biology, physics and engineering.• A thorough understanding of the design, selectionand processing of materials for a wide range ofapplications in engineering.• A well-rounded understanding of the properties ofmaterials as controlled by structure and bondingat the atomic-scale, and features at the microstructuraland macroscopic levels.• Ability to identify, analyse and solve technicalproblems.• Appreciation for professional, ethical and socialresponsibilities.Industry/Global TrendsMaterials scientists and engineers are developingimportant new materials to meet the needs of the everchangingtechnological society. These include hightemperaturesuperconductors; high-strength alloysfor use at the extreme temperatures encounteredin jet and rocket engines; specialised glasses andceramics with high thermal, mechanical, and chemicalstability, and a host of polymeric materials: some114 2013/2014 Univeresity of Ghana Prospectus
with unique functional characteristics and otherswhich replace metal, glass, wood, and natural fibresin dozens of applications. Materials scientists andengineers are rising to the challenge of global energyscarcity by reducing the weight of automobiles andother transportation systems. They are also at theforefront of recycling technologies; searching formore energy-efficient ways of processing materials.AssessmentStudents are assessed through a combination ofassignments, examinations and projects.Faculty of Engineering Sciences - University of GhanaEntry RequirementsSee General Admission Requirements andProcedures pages.Career ProspectsGraduate of Materials Science & Engineering workin the private and public sectors in wide rangingactivities including:• Microelectronics• Energy production and storage• Biomedical• Biotechnology• Aerospace• Information technology• Nanotechnology• Manufacturing and materials production.Jessica Lucinda AmprakoB.Sc Food Process Engineering, Level 400Food Process Engineering is the application ofchemical engineering principles in the processingof food into intermediate or finished products. Itdeals with the designing of processing equipment toincrease the efficiency of production in small scale andlarge-scale industries and also redesigning the processflow charts to specifically explain the unit operationsinvolved in the processing of food products.The knowledge gained from the chemical engineeringprinciples such as Mass transfer, Heat transfer andSeparation processes enables students of the programmeto be versatile in their field of work. This programme hasreally enlightened me in the areas of engineering designand Product Development. It has equipped me with theskills involved in food packaging and also taught me theimportance of food safety and the critical importance ofhygiene in food plant operations.Even though graduates of this programme can findemployment in various industries such as the petroleumand the pharmaceutical industries, my motivationfor offering this programme is primarily to gain thenecessary knowledge in Product Development and PlantDesign. This I am certain will equip me with the requisiteknow how towards the development of innovativeand nutritious food products that will help reduce theincidence of malnutrition amongst children in deprivedcommunities.2013/2014 Univeresity of Ghana Prospectus 115
