Speaking on phone from Kisumu, where she had gone for a University function, Prof. Sabuni revealed that SEBE is determined to be the leader in the engineering sector. “These intensive practicals, which are also designed to address emerging problems in the industry, have fully equipped our students and effectively put MMUST on the frontline of global engineering training. We are proud of the skills of our graduates,” she stated.

The Chairperson of Department (CoD), Electrical and Communications Engineering, Dr. James Owuor, acknowledged the importance of the workshop and noted that it is progressing very well.

"Engineering is practical in nature hence through this workshop, our students will be equipped with knowledge and skills that will help them transform their ideas into reality as they identify what they are good at. Electricity can only be seen by what it does and therefore, students must know how to handle it from theory to practical. They have to be able to interpret a drawing and convert it into a functional electrical system," said Dr. Owuor.

He noted that the students have been introduced to workshop safety, electronic workshop design, and measuring systems. They are now exercising on the measuring systems after which they will be able to manage wiring a building besides getting grounded in the fundamentals of wiring.

The CoD Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Dr. Peter Cherop echoed Dr. Owuor's sentiments, saying that the workshop practice is thriving well and the students have been introduced to various fundamental machines and tools required to carry out their practical activities.

Clearly, MMUST is ensuring that the content provided to students is enhanced through such workshops as well as through basic engineering skills like survey, carpentry, welding, building construction, measuring, wiring, masonry, soil lab and public health, housekeeping, and machine operations. This practical workshop will be effective in equipping students with practical aspects of engineering.
