Lapho engaphenyi ukulawulwa kwezimoto zabantu, umfundi oneziqu ubuyisela emuva ngokuvolontiya ngezinhlelo ezimsize ukuba akhule njengomcwaningi emkhakheni wokusebenzelana kwamarobhothi ekunakekelweni kwezempilo.
Umcwaningi ophumelele we-MIT kwezokunakekelwa kwezempilo amarobhothi ngemiklomelo eminingi yokufunda neyobudlelwano, u-A. Michael West akanandaba nokuthi wakhetha kanjani indlela yakhe.
Ukusebenzisana okusebenzayo nokuphephile kwerobhothi lomuntu kubaluleke kakhulu kuzilungiselelo zomtholampilo. Ikhredithi yesithombe: U-Olga Guryanova nge-Unsplash, ilayisense yamahhala
"Ngike ngawela kukho," kusho ikhandidethi ye-PhD yobunjiniyela bemishini, enezela ngokuthi ukukhulela endaweni engaphansi kwedolobha laseCalifornia, wayenenhlalo, ezemidlalo - futhi enekhono nezibalo. "Nganginokhetho lwakudala: Ungaba udokotela, ummeli, noma unjiniyela."
Ngemva kokubona ukuhlala kukanina okukhathazayo lapho eqeqeshelwa ukuba udokotela futhi enomuzwa wokuthi wayengakujabuleli ukufunda nokubhala ngokwanele ukuba abe ummeli, “Lowo kwesokunxele unjiniyela,” usho kanje.
Ngenhlanhla, wayeyijabulela i-physics esikoleni esiphakeme ngoba, uthi, “yayinikeza incazelo ezinombolweni esasizifunda kwizibalo,” futhi kamuva, isazi sakhe sobunjiniyela bemishini eYunivesithi yaseYale savumelana naye.
“Nakanjani ngibambelele kukho,” kusho uWest. “Ngakuthanda engangikufunda.”

Njengomuntu osekhulile okhuphukayo eYale, uWest wakhethwa ukuthi abambe iqhaza kulo mqhudelwano Uhlelo lokucwaninga ihlobo lwe-MIT (i-MSRP). Uhlelo luhlonza abafundi abathole iziqu abanamakhono abazochitha ihlobo ekhempasini ye-MIT, benza ucwaningo ngokuqeqeshwa kobuhlakani be-MIT, ama-postdocs, kanye nabafundi abaphothule ukulungiselela abahlanganyeli bohlelo lokufunda iziqu.
ENtshonalanga, i-MSRP yayiyimfundo yokuthi "isikole esiphumelele kahle sasiyini, ikakhulukazi ukuthi sasizoba njani e-MIT."
Futhi, futhi okubaluleke kakhulu, umthombo wokuqinisekisa ukuthi iNtshonalanga ingaphumelela emazingeni aphezulu ezemfundo.
“Kunginikeze ukuzethemba kokufaka isicelo ezikoleni ezineziqu eziphezulu, ukwazi ukuthi ngingakwazi ukufaka isandla lapha futhi ngiphumelele,” kusho uWest. “Kunginikeze ukuzethemba okukhulu ukungena ekamelweni futhi ngikhulume nabantu okusobala ukuthi bazi kakhulu kunami ngezihloko ezithile.”

Nge-MSRP, uWest naye wathola umphakathi futhi wenza ubungane obuhlala njalo, uthi. “Kuyajabulisa ukuba sezikhala lapho uthola khona abantu abaningi abancane kwezesayensi, okwakuyi-MSRP,” usho kanje.
Ngemva kokuhlomula ngolwazi lwe-MSRP, uWest wabuyisela emuva lapho esebhalise e-MIT ngokusebenza njengomholi weqembu le-MRSP amahlobo amabili. “Ungadalela abantu abangemva kwakho lesi simo esifanayo,” usho kanje.
Ukuzibandakanya kwakhe njengomholi kanye nomeluleki ku-MSRP kungenye yezindlela iWest ezame ngayo ukubuyisela. Njenge-undergraduate, isibonelo, usebenze njengomongameli wesahluko sesikole sakhe seNational Society of Black Engineers, futhi e-MIT, usebenze njengomgcinimafa we-Black Graduate Student Association kanye ne-Academy of Courageous Minority Engineers.
“Mhlawumbe kumane nje kuyindaba yomkhaya,” kusho uWest, “kodwa njengoba ngingumuntu waseMelika Onsundu, abazali bami bangikhulisa ngendlela ohlale ukhumbula ngayo lapho uvela khona, ukhumbula lokho okhokho bakho ababhekana nakho.”
Ucwaningo lwamanje lwaseNtshonalanga - noNeville Hogan, uProfesa we-Sun Jae ku-Mechanical Engineering, ku-Eric P. no-Evelyn E. Newton Laboratory ye-Biomechanics and Human Rehabilitation - futhi kuhloswe ngayo ukusiza abanye, ikakhulukazi labo abaye bahlushwa ukulimala kwamathambo noma izinzwa.
“Ngizama ukuqonda ukuthi abantu balawula kanjani futhi balawule ukunyakaza kwabo ngokombono wezibalo,” usho kanje. "Uma unendlela yokulinganisa ukunyakaza, ungakukala kangcono futhi usebenzise lokho kumarobhothi, ukwenza amadivaysi angcono ukusiza ekuvuseleleni."
Ngo-2022, uWest wakhethwa ukuthi abe ngumuntu we-MIT-Takeda. I Uhlelo lwe-MIT-Takeda, ukubambisana phakathi kwe-MIT's School of Engineering kanye ne-Takeda Pharmaceuticals Company, ngokuyinhloko ikhuthaza ukusetshenziswa kobuhlakani bokwenziwa ukuze kuzuze impilo yabantu. Njengomuntu we-Takeda, iWest ifunde ikhono lesandla somuntu lokusebenzisa izinto namathuluzi.
UWest uthi iTakeda Fellowship imnike isikhathi sokugxila ocwaningweni lwakhe, uxhaso olumvumela ukuthi ayeke ukusebenza njengomsizi wokufundisa. Yize ethanda ukufundisa futhi enethemba lokuthola isikhundla sokuba nguprofesa ngemuva kokuthola iPhD, uthi ukuzinikela kwesikhathi okuhambisana nokuba ngumsizi wothisha kubalulekile. Ngonyaka wesithathu wePhD yakhe, iWest yanikela cishe amahora angama-20 ngesonto esikhundleni sokufundisa.
Uthi: “Ukuba nesikhathi esiningi sokucwaninga kuhle kakhulu. "Ukufunda lokho okudingeka ufunde ngakho nokwenza ucwaningo kukuyisa esinyathelweni esilandelayo."
Eqinisweni, uhlobo locwaningo oluqhutshwa yiNtshonalanga luthatha isikhathi esiningi. Lokhu okungenani kungenxa yokuthi ukulawulwa kwemoto yomuntu kuhilela umsebenzi omningi ozenzakalelayo, ongaphansi kokuqaphela okunzima ukuyiqonda.
“Abantu bazilawula kanjani lezi zimiso eziyinkimbinkimbi nezingaqondakali? Ukuqonda lokho kuyinqubo ehamba kancane. Okuningi okutholakele kwakhela phezu komunye nomunye. Kufanele ube nokuqonda okuqinile kwalokho okwaziwayo, iyini i-hypothesis esebenzayo, yini ehlolekayo, yini engahloliwe, nokuthi ungaletha kanjani okungahlolwa ukuthi kuhlolwe," kusho uWest, enezela, "Ngeke sikuqonde. indlela abantu abalawula ngayo ukunyakaza ekuphileni kwami.”
Ukuze enze inqubekelaphambili, uWest uthi kufanele aqhubeke ngokucophelela isinyathelo esisodwa ngesikhathi.
“Yimiphi imibuzo emincane engingayibuza? Yimiphi imibuzo esesiyibuziwe kakade, futhi singakhela kanjani phezu kwayo? Yilapho umsebenzi usuba nzima kakhulu,” usho kanje.
NgoSepthemba, iWest izoqala ubudlelwano ne I-MIT kanye ne-Accenture Convergence Initiative Yezimboni Nobuchwepheshe. Ngethemba lokukhuthaza nokwenza lula ukusebenzisana phakathi kobuchwepheshe nezimboni, le nhlangano ikhetha ozakwethu abahlanu be-MIT-Accenture unyaka ngamunye.
"Abakufunayo ngumuntu ocwaningo lwakhe oluhumushayo, olungaba nomthelela embonini," kusho uWest. “Kuyathembisa ukuthi banentshisekelo ocwaningweni oluyisisekelo, oluyisisekelo engilwenzayo. Angikasebenzi ngasohlangothini lokuhumusha. Yinto engingathanda ukungena kuyo ngemva kokuthweswa iziqu. "
Ngenkathi ithola ubudlelwano obusezingeni eliphezulu futhi ithuthukisa ukusebenzisana kwamarobhothi kubantu ekunakekelweni kwezempilo, iWest isengumuntu ohlalele emuva “owawela” kubunjiniyela. Uthola isikhathi sokuhlangana nabangane ngezimpelasonto, athathe ibhola lombhoxo njengomfundi oneziqu, futhi unobudlelwano obukude nengoduso yakhe, nosuku lomshado olubekelwe ihlobo elizayo.
Ebuzwa ukuthi uzobaluleka kanjani abafundi bakhe bakusasa lapho besondela emsebenzini onzima, unempendulo ekhululekile ngokubikezela.
“Ungesabi ukucela usizo. Kuhlale kukhona umuntu ongcono kokuthile kunawe, futhi lokho kuyinto enhle. Ukube bezingekho, impilo ibingaba yisicefe kancane.”
