C-Poly To Offer Degree In Mechanical Engineering
The Cape Coast Polytechnic has secured accreditation to commence a Bachelor of Technology Degree Programme in Mechanical Engineering.
The programme, when it finally takes off, would complement the degree programme in Building Technology being run by the polytechnic.
Acting Rector of the Cape Coast Polytechnic, Kwabena Atomba Simpson, announced that at a matriculation ceremony to finally admit fresh students into the polytechnic for the 2011/2012 academic year.
A total of 963 students out of 1,436 qualified applicants, were admitted to pursue programmes in both tertiary and non-tertiary programmes.
Out of the number, 575 representing 59.71 per cent were male while 388 constituting 40.29 per cent were female.
Mr. Simpson indicated that the polytechnic was not able to absorb the huge number of qualified applicants due to inadequate infrastructure and human resource.
He expressed the administration’s commitment to develop the polytechnic into a centre of academic excellence in technology and liberal studies.
He stated the polytechnic’s position not to compromise on any form of academic dishonesty as it places premium on the quality of its students matriculants who would be found to have gained admission through fraudulent means would be dismissed in due course, he warned.
Mr. Simpson further warned students that the authorities would deal with any student who flouts the regulations of the polytechnic.
“The authorities do not take delight in infringing sorrows on any student but would not allow the flouting regulations with impunity” he said.
He commended the government for its continuous support in the provision of infrastructure and the upgrading of the human resource capacity.
He admonished the students not to resort to intimidation and demonstrations when they had several peaceful means to resolve misunderstandings and concerns.
“No matter how you feel about an issue, you have no right whatsoever to take the law into your own hands. In all civilised societies, differences are resolved through dialogue but not through anarchy,” he added.
