Aims of the Materials And Metallurgical Engineering Students' Association


The aims of MATESA are a set of five targets on which the wheels of MATESA run. These are visionary goals we strive to achieve as the years pass by; the purpose of our very existence as an association. Below are the aims of our great association, and we all have a part to play to keep MATESA going!


1. Package, promote, and encourage Materials and Metallurgical Engineering education through symposia, industrial trips, conference, exchange programmes and also to carry out our role in the national and technological development as well as the world of science and inventions.

2. Provision of assistance to both the department and its members when the need arises; and also the contribution of our quota to GESA.

3. To provide the students with the platform to obtain practical knowledge concerning the programme.

Students exhibit their industrial art work

4. To enhance student-lecturer relationship in order to facilitate the teaching and learning process.

Lecturers engage student at a function

5. Finally to protect the interest of the student body and to serve as the mouth piece for the Materials Engineering and Metallurgical Engineering Student.

MATESA as an association can only progress when all hands are on deck. Leaving no one behind, let's make #MATESAGreatAgain

The Quality of Locally-manufactured Cornmill Grinding Plates

Corn mill A KNUST research has revealed people who consume corn-related foods risk contracting all kinds of cancers According to the research, the locally manufactured machine used to grind the corn into dough food wears off faster into the dry maize, thus contaminating it. A study by two lead researchers at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has revealed that consumers of corn-related foods risk contracting all kinds of cancers. The research was undertaken by Prof. Kwofie, who is the Dean of the Faculty of Mechanical and Chemical Engineering (former) of the College of Engineering, and Dr. Anthony Andrews (now Professor) , the Head of Department (former)  for Materials Engineering . The study found that the metals used for the milling plates usually wear off when the food products are being grinded. This, the study said, opens consumers to the risk of contracting cancer, since the metals contain 'iron overloads' which are poisonous. ...
