The South African Institute of Electrical Engineers (SAIEE) has appointed NMMU’s Prof Theo van Niekerk as Specialist Editor for the African Research Journal. He will review papers with regards to the Control and Automation track.
“It is so important for engineering to be active in processes like this, to further our knowledge base within our research field and ultimately for improved teaching purposes,” said Prof van Niekerk.
Prof van Niekerk was nominated because of his involvement as external research reviewer and papers published within this field. The African Research Journal is published on a regular quarterly basis.
