The University of Mines and Technology (UMaT) and the Ghana Institution of Engineering (GhIE) have unveiled Professor Douglas Boateng GhIE Engineering Academic Excellence Awards, a transformative initiative designed to recognize academic excellence and inspire the next generation of engineers.
Funded by globally acclaimed engineer and governance thought leader, Prof. Douglas Boateng, the awards mark a significant step toward fostering innovation and empowering young talent in Ghana’s engineering sector.
At the heart of this initiative is a commitment to celebrating outstanding engineering students while promoting the importance of education, innovation, and perseverance in shaping Ghana’s development.
Prof. Boateng described the awards as a foundation for progress, emphasizing that the nation’s future rests in the hands of its youth.
“Education is the cornerstone of progress. By celebrating academic excellence today, we empower the next generation to build solutions for the challenges of tomorrow,” he said.
UMaT Vice Chancellor, Prof. Richard Kwasi Amankwah, lauded the initiative, describing it as a motivating force for students to achieve their potential and see themselves as key players in Ghana and Africa’s development. “This award inspires students to aim higher and to see their hard work and innovation as valued contributions to building a better future,” he remarked.
GhIE President, Ing. Kwabena Bempong, commended Prof. Boateng’s vision, stating that the initiative reflects a long-term commitment to national and continental development. He praised the program as a bold step in nurturing engineering talent for both current and future challenges.
Currently centred at UMaT, the awards are set to expand nationwide, creating a platform that celebrates engineering brilliance across Ghana. The long-term vision is to encourage thousands of young students to pursue careers in engineering, addressing the country’s pressing challenges, from infrastructure development to industrial innovation.
The awards underscore the transformative power of recognizing excellence, sending a strong message about the importance of education, mentorship, and innovation. Prof. Boateng’s funding of this initiative reinforces his belief in the potential of Ghana’s youth to drive lasting change.
