List of Landson Mhango cutting edge engineering publications.

Collegues

Last month on 7th September MZUNI and family organised a memorial service in the honour the award winning multi-talented design enginner prof Landson Mhango. I was previlaged to have been invited to the service, principally because i dwell 3 houses away from his house and we had known one another.

Ululations metioned serveral contribution he made to this earth. Combining with ululations at the actual funeral one builds a bigger picture of achivements perhaps beyond Eintein. Chokani (remember Willy). at NASA and (according to his message), converted to engineering career by Mhango in Mhangos house, called him father of of electric cars. He solved for the world why ChernabolNuclear reactor in USSR melted. Was awarded the Galileo Word engineer of the Year in 1980. Could perhaps have achieved multiple Nobel prizes were it not that his science was not both distructive-tanks, missiles, military Aircraft. the list is long also constructive-medical divices that enable doctors to see internal organs in three dimension, aviation industry through a patented part in Boeing, Air bus and all advanced planes.

 

I have found some titles of his publications. the publications are not only in engineering and desisn but also on quality assurance and other issues in Universities.The questions though is who is keeping this knowledge at present. Does malawi really has anthing. Did it use this man?

Any lessons learnt on knowledge management. Rmember 'Kumbile ananka nawo'

Let us hope that government will facilitate gleaninig of knowledge from the diaspora through Diaspora Office or Universities. Knowledge management is both creation and preserving. It is also sharing and building on.

This is really food for thought for us all, especially government!!

Thanks, Mzondi.

This is good stuff. The man Prof Mhango was an accomplished person.
Unfortunately knowledge management is one of the critical issues in
the country especially within our education system.

It could be good to have for example annual academic/social research
or paper/book fair where some of these publications could be
unveiled...I dont know whether the University centre for Research is
functioning in this line...i dont know whether the Book Publishers
Association of Malawi is still functioning in this line....In
addition, the Ministry of Education, could also make use of the Annual
Joint Sector Reviews to have a publications corner-where new academic
studies could be on display.....this could be done alongside the
national research council.....and how about having a regularly updated
web portal under UNIMA or MOE website for example where all these
publications can be accessed? I know also that a lot of local and
international NGOs and NGO Networks are conducting very important
reaserch in almost all sectors (For instance, MEJN, CISANET, MHEN,
CSEC, LEG, CRECCOM, AAI, OXFAM, etc)...how can these be coordinated
for dissemination, critical analsyis, reflection etc????

By the way, do we have an up to date National Research Policy?.....


These are just some of my immediate thoughts.But I want to agree that
there are a lot of publications that are not disseminated or indeed
very distinguished papers (in almost all sectors: education, health,
agriculture, literature,. engineering, economics etc)...that are not
published or have not received critical attention, reflection, and
follow up....perhaps this is an issue that policy makers, with help of
universities, reserach institutes etc can take up.


Regards,

Limbani
