To solve the
problem, students from the Arusha Technical College (ATC) have invented
automatic utensil washing and sterilising machine which can rapidly
clean food plates and free the cutlery from germs and impurities at a
speed of 5 utensils per minute.
"We have realised
that most, if not all, ailments breed from the plates onto which food is
served," said Mr Emmanuel Daniel, the team leader of one of the
innovative students' groups at ATC, pointing out that the old simple
soap and water dish cleaning procedures at homes, are not enough to
sanitize table wares.
"Our machine not
only saves cleaning time, but ensures that each piece of utensil is
allocated the same amount of soap and water, unlike when the plates are
cleaned manually where some parts can be overlooked and other pieces
bypassed," he said.
Electrical and
Biomedical Engineering students at the Arusha Technical College are
currently inventing and innovating new devices, including automatic
water treatment and storage system; dumpsite garbage regulating system
and utensils cleaning and sanitizing machine.
Their field of
study, alternately called Biomedical Engineering Equipment field, is
considered to be new in most African countries, including Tanzania.
The Rector at ATC,
Engineer Richard Masika, stated that skills gaps or lack of skills in
this field had been one of the main causes for lack of maintenance and
repair for most of the equipment and tools used in hospitals and medical
centres in the country, especially in rural areas.
"The situation
analysis carried out by ATC in some major hospitals in Tanzania in 2011
showed that 80 per cent of the equipment were not functioning due to
lack of skilled personnel in the field of Biomedical Engineering," he
said.
According to Dr
Masika, it was against these findings that the college established the
Electrical and Biomedical Engineering programme at Diploma level in the
2012/13 academic year, followed by that of Bachelor's degree level in
the 2016/17 academic year.
It was considered
that blending of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering skills would give
a competitive edge for the graduates, especially in the labour market.
