– PhD holder specialized in E-learning in the department of Computing Sciences Studies.
The Faculty offers’both postgraduate undergraduate Programmes.
The Department of Computing Science Studies (CSS) is the oldest and largest department among the three departments in the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) of Mzumbe University. The department adopted its name from the former Department of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), which was established in 2003 after Mzumbe University was inaugurated as a full University. The CSS department offers the following degree one master degree programme, four bachelor degree programmes, one ordinary diploma programme, two certificate programmes. In addition, the CSS department offers and coordinates all courses related to ICT, which are offered in other Non-ICT Degree programmes for the entire University. The CSS department researches in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI), E-learning, Systems Development, User-centered Design, and ICT for development. The department works with other institutional units of the University to address the Strategic Plan of the Mzumbe University which is geared towards realizing the national development goals. Furthermore, to strengthen its research capacities among its staff, the department has been collaborating with various academic institutions and businesses worldwide. As a department, we are committed to constantly improving the quality of our programmes through competent staff, regular curricular reviews, and sufficient and modern facilities. We welcome you to join our programmes and be part of our success. Thank you. Head of Department
The department of Mathematics and Statistics Studies is one of the sister department in the Faculty of Science and Technology(FST). The department of Mathematics and Statistics Studies (MSS) focuses on enhancing advanced business and pratical oriented knowledge related to the collection, organization , analysis and interpretation of data. The main studies includes operation research and stochastic process, optimization and quality management in agricultural product and industries, optimization and quality control in health services, statistical decision sciences and their application , actuarial science and its application in insurance and health service business. The MSS department also incorporates teacher training plus competenecy in planning, information sytems analysis and design, data communitions , networks and programming languages.
The Department of Engineering Management Studies (EMS) is one of the three Departments under the Faculty of Science and Technology, Mzumbe University Main Campus, Morogoro. It was started in 2002 as Department of Production and Operations Management and later transformed into the EMS Department in 2012 so as to reflect the core activities of the Department. The EMS Department has a good number of qualified staff in engineering and production management related issues such as Total Quality Management, Cleaner Production, Ergonomics, Project Management, Environmental Toxicology, Business Process Re-Engineering, Renewable Energy Technologies and Technology Management. The Department plays a major role in providing core engineering management courses in Production and Operations Management, Lean Manufacturing, Industrial Safety and Maintenance Management, Management of Innovation and Technology, Production Planning and Control, Work Study and Ergonomics and Project Management for the BSc. Production and Operations Management programme. The Department aims at making an important contribution to the scientific understanding of industrial operations so as to enhance production efficiency and achieve higher productivity through optimal use of resources e.g., energy, water and possible use of cleaner technologies such as recycling, reuse, renewable energy, information technology and green transportation. Our courses offered challenge students' ability to integrate theory and practice for the analysis, understanding, and management of industrial operations and solve real engineering problems. In addition, to their academic work, all students are encouraged to develop professionally relevant scientific, social and communication skills, and orient themselves in the global networks of scientists and innovation pioneers. The Department is a center of excellence for the engineering and production management related researches as well. The Department has educated several hundred young people from Tanzania and abroad who are now working in the manufacturing and service organizations such as academia, international organizations, governments, NGOs and businesses organizations.
