In another step for African technical development and technology transfer, the African Technology Forum (ATF) has teamed up with the Ghana Institution of Engineers (GhIE) to publish The Ghana Engineer, the Journal of the GhIE, online. The international dissemination of African scientific, technical, and industrial information by and for Africans is crucial to our continent's continuing development, and has been a guiding principle at ATF since 1988. ATF urges all African professionals to become avid readers of these publications, and we invite all African technical organizations and scientific societies to join us in further publications along these lines.

The Ghana Institution of Engineers owns the copyrights to the following GhIE articles. ATF assumes no responsibility for any errors that the GhIE article's authors may have made or will make at any time. ATF also assumes no responsibility for any errors that the reader might make.
