Due to rapid technological changes in the world today in many fields, there are ever widening technical skill gaps in the labour market of scientists, technicians and engineers. This paper builds on a seven-year study of transformation efforts of the technical education development of the Mbeya University of Science and Technology (MUST). The paper builds on the critical theoretical contribution and the live application transformation of the Mbeya University of Science and Technology (MUST). The report builds on exploring the mechanisms of designing and managing learning mechanisms as both transformations of the university into new entities development and retaining the ability to learn and transform all the time, even after becoming specialized.
