Applied Research

One among the College functions is to conduct applied research. Research activities are coordinated by READ (Research, Educational, and Academic Documentation Unit) which is responsible for supervision and coordination of Research, Publication, and Documentation. In collaboration with various stakeholders the College has carried out several researches. Some of the products designed and manufactured as a result of such research activities include mini-hydro turbines for small electricity production, heavy duty inverters, maize sheller, manure mixing machine, packaging machine for cereals and liquids, paving blocks machine, and cooking stove that is environmental friendly, strength of materials, irrigation technologies.
ATC emphasizes both staff and students to use its facilities to do basic engineering and scientific researches in partnership with the public and private sector so as to contribute to improvement of techno-socio-economic development. Research and Innovations at ATC are coordinated and promoted through READ Unit (Research, Educational, and Academic Documentation Unit) and ATC – PCB (Arusha Technical College Production and Consultancy Beaureau) which are striving for excellence in academic and applied engineering and scientific research.
Research Priority areas at ATC are Education and Training, Industry and Energy, Basic Sciences, Agricultural Development/Irrigation engineering, and Environmental Development. In collaboration with various stakeholders the College has carried out several researches. Some of the products designed and manufactured as a result of such research activities include mini-hydro turbines for small electricity production, heavy duty inverters, maize sheller, manure mixing machine, packaging machine for cereals and liquids, pavement block machine for making interlocking and paving blocks, egg incubator, power inverters which can handle all domestic electrical appliances, cooking stove that is environmental friendly, irrigation technologies, teaching aids for science subjects and peanut butter grinding machine.
