TCC-CIMET to support Obuasi Technical School with skills in computer-aided design and smart manufacturing
The Technology Consultancy Centre International Centre for Innovation, Manufacturing, Technology Transfer, and Entrepreneurship (TCC-CIMET) is set to support the Obuasi Secondary Technical school with skills in computer-aided design and smart manufacturing using fusion 360.
Speaking at an event marking World Engineering Day at Obuasi Secondary Technical School, Director of TCC-CIMET, Prof. Francis Davis mentioned that the center is ready to provide training for the students in computer-aided design and smart manufacturing using fusion 360.
He explained that these skills will ensure that the students are equipped with the right skills to thrive in their engineering careers.
“As we discuss sustainability, we must also ensure inclusivity in STEM and TVET fields. That is why we are thrilled to announce that TCC-CIMET is committed to supporting students by providing specialized training in computer-aided design (CAD) and smart manufacturing using Fusion 360.
“This initiative will empower young people with essential technical skills, ensuring that they are equally equipped to excel in engineering, architecture, and other technical careers. A truly productive and sustainable future must be inclusive, harnessing the talents of all individuals regardless of gender,” he said.
As the guest speaker at the event, Prof. Michael Asante encouraged students to work hard and stay focused on their journey toward becoming engineers.
“My dear students, I urge you to dream big, work hard, and stay focused. The journey to success in STEM and TVET requires dedication, curiosity, and resilience. Each of you has the potential to achieve even greater things.
“The future belongs to those willing to embrace knowledge, creativity, and technology. As I conclude, I leave you with this challenge: Be bold, innovative, and determined. Your time is now, and the world is waiting for the impact you will make.
“The products from our school are great men in industry and academia; take charge and focus on transforming your life through education. Avoid hooliganism and any bad habits,” he said.
The Coordinating Dean of KNUST Obuasi Campus, Prof. Lawrence Darkwah, urged students to observe their surroundings and identify challenges they can help solve.
"Look around you and find the problems in your community. Once you identify these challenges, seek ways to address them. You are the next generation of engineers and technicians who will tackle our nation's issues. With your brilliant minds, I am confident you will find innovative solutions to the problems we face in our various communities," he stated
