Leading Africa’s Industrialization Agenda
When the Peduase Declaration was made by the Government of Ghana in 2019, the unique initiative for widespread industrialization in Ghana set in motion the need to train young Ghanaians with the core capabilities in advanced manufacturing engineering technologies, systems integration protocols, advanced material systems, and integrated product development capabilities.
As nations across Africa turn to industrialization as the main driver for economic growth, mastering the skill for the innovative deployment of technology to enhance productivity cannot be overemphasized.
Academic City University, Ghana has taken up the challenge to deploy a cutting-edge program in Industrial and Systems Engineering benchmarking leading institution across the world offering similar top-notch and time-tested programs
BSc Industrial & Systems Engineering at ACity
Industrial & Systems Engineering is a branch of engineering that designs, analyses, implements, and improves systems of people, information, and materials using mathematical, statistical, and scientific techniques. Such systems frequently involve complex human-machine interactions. Industrial & Systems engineers work hard to ensure that these systems are safe and efficient.
