Tawanda Mushiri

Tawanda Mushiri is a holder of BSc Mechanical Engineering (UZ), Master of Science in Manufacturing Systems and Operations Management (MSOM) (UZ) a D.Eng. in Engineering Management (U.J) of machinery monitoring systems in 2017. He is currently a lecturer at the University of Zimbabwe teaching Machine Dynamics, Robotics, Solid Mechanics and Finite Element Analysis. He is also the Chairman of “The Students Paperette Competition”. The aim of the competition is to promote innovation and practical engineering solutions through student projects. The competition draws a single final year candidate from each of the six disciplines in the Faculty of Engineering namely Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Geoinformatics and Surveying, Mining and Metallurgy and one other student from the Agricultural Engineering Department at the University of Zimbabwe. He is also the coordinator of Undergraduate projects and Master of Science in Manufacturing Systems and Operations Management (MSOM). Tawanda has supervised more than 100 students’ undergraduate projects and 1 Masters Student to completion. He has also published 1 book, 2 chapters in a book, 9 journals in highly accredited publishers and over 60 conferences in peer reviewed publishers. He has done a lot of commercial projects at the University of Zimbabwe. He is a reviewer of 4 journals highly accredited. He has been invited as a keynote speaker in workshops and seminars. Beyond work and at a personal level, Tawanda enjoys spending time with family, travelling and watching soccer.
