Mr Lehlohonolo Francis  Monaheng

POSITION
Lecturer
QUALIFICATIONS
Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering (Cum Laude)
PORTFOLIO
Mr LF Monaheng lectured various mechanical engineering subjects at Central University of Technology (CUT) which included Machine Mechanics, Manufacturing and Electrotechnology. He is also supervising Master of Engineering projects. His ongoing Doctor of Engineering research project allowed him to travel national and international (Nantes France and Edinburgh Scotland). The focus of his research is on finite element analysis applied in design for additive manufacturing. Finally, Mr Monaheng is registered with the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) as a Candidate Professional Engineer Technologist.
