This will change your mind about employment || Prof. Charles Ondieki

[@markkenyatta9252]

Prof is my role model. In my case I scored a C plain but ended up with a PhD in Construction Engineering & Management

[@sifisosimelane407]

that is an inspiring news, i also want to have a construction engineering PhD how did you do it?

[@TheLauraThuo]

We had a lecturer in Daystar University her name is Rebecca Ng'ang'a, who taught us communication strategy class. She would use a similar approact to teach us, instilling life skills into us and speaking life. She would make us write reflections every now and then about our observations in life, and this really impacted my life and work in general. God bless her, and King'ori, this is a much needed conversation. Keep up the good work.

She is an amazing gem. Transformative in many areas.

[@tulizacottage7049]

One day in early 1990s, I was escorting two Indian visitors who witnessed our boys pluck off two side mirrors on Uhuru Highway. They asked the usual naive questions of why they were doing it, where it would be sold, who would buy it, etc. What has remained in my mind was their question-"why can no design engineer build replicas locally and sell them to curb demand for stolen ones?" I am sure there are numerous Kenyans who can make alot of the hard plastic vehicle parts that the market needs. Listening to this Prof. gives me hope that one of his students may be working on this 30yrs later. Thanks Dr. Kingori for educative content that gets us thinking. Kudos!

A teacher and a mentor.Prof.Ondieki was Director of the Institute of Production & Innovations(IPI) at the then JKUAT,under Prof.Eshiwani in the early 1990s. A really innovator. Spearheaded the Engineering Technicians & Technologists Act which gave birth to KETRAB courtesy of the Technical University of Kenya ( TUK).Nice to see you spread the gospel of our shortcomings. Pretty much what Elon Musk is doing with SpaceX,ashaming NASA and the giant Boeing.

When I was attending university in America, I was introduced to this woman who was pursuing her PhD even though she had failed in Kenyan schools, she couldn't even qualify for Kenyan universities. I had a similar experience, I didn't perform well in Kenya, but when I got into American universities, I was outperforming most students, even in the subjects I had given up on back home.

[@ismailcs7643]

I agree with the Engineer's perspective, particularly from his own experience. To illustrate, I supported my brother through his education in engineering, covering his school fees all the way. He graduated four years ago, yet he constantly blames me for “misguiding” him into what he now sees as the wrong career path. It’s something I never anticipated. Today, he works as a taxi driver, unable to find opportunities in his field. Corruption, nepotism, and favoritism only make matters worse, leaving those from humble backgrounds without a voice. Even devolution, which was meant to help, seems to be worsening the situation.

How do you self employed or create employment in engineering when those in authority are not technocrats and know nothing about engineering. Metal lathes,milling machines, engine cylinder boring machine, crankshaft grinding machines are either too expensive or non available. Further more the Chinese , Indian,Koreans and lately the Japanese vehicle manufactures have turned us to consumer society. What he was talking about changing power transformers into welding machines is using the transformer formula - primary turns/secondary turns = primary turn output voltage/secondary turn voltage.
