This
research was designed to comparatively analyze practical skills acquisition in the Electrical/Electronic
Engineering department in Accra and Kumasi Polytechnics. The study population
was made of 578 students in the Department of Electrical/Electronic Engineering
from the two study institutions respectively. A sample size of 25% was
randomly selected from the total population. A total number of 145
questionnaires were distributed and 123 completed questionnaires were received
making a response rate of 84.82%. Out of this, 73 were respondents from Kumasi
while the remaining 50 were Accra respondents. The researcher collected primary
data using a questionnaire. Findings revealed that practical lessons are less frequent.
Inadequate training resources such as obsolete equipment and machines in the
institutions, few expendable materials required to be used together with the
equipment and machines for practicals,
inadequate budget for industrial training were revealed as the reasons
for the less practical training in the institutions. It was recommended that adequate
training resources must be installed to ensure effective practicals. Also realistic
and enough budget for industrial training be made to practically expose
students to up-to-date skills required in the industries
