A visiting professor lecturer in Mechatronics Engineering pioneered research work in volume control systems for low-cost ventilators,
equipped with an automated set-point adaptation mechanism. Jennifer Panashe, an Ashesi Mechanical Engineering alumna continued to work on her undergraduate research, which involved the utilization of recycled plastic waste materials combined with bitumen at the right viscosity levels for road maintenance and repair. Led by a full-time Mechanical Engineering faculty member, the University established the Ashesi Resourceful Engineering Lab, dedicated to solving local problems using engineering designs. She and her team of research interns developed a biogas monitoring system that converts food waste to sustainable cooking gas. These collective research pursuits and many others underscore the faculty’s unwavering dedication to generating practical solutions.
