Meet the Mentors: Rogers Oyomirwoth

Written by BIP | Aug 19, 2025 7:34:33 AM

Some teachers make you memorize formulas. Others show you how those formulas actually work when you’re trying to solve real problems. Mr. Rogers Oyomirwoth is the second kind.

At Busoga International Polytechnic, he teaches Higher Engineering Mathematics, a subject that intimidates most students on day one. But Rogers has a way of breaking it down. He doesn’t just explain concepts—he connects them to things students might actually encounter on a job site.

You’ll find him walking through how to use differentiation to calculate the least amount of fencing needed for a project, or how probability plays a role in quality control when you’re assessing deviations in materials. Even structural stress becomes easier to understand when it’s tied to a real object with real weight and function.

That’s the core of his approach: make it practical, make it make sense, and then push for precision.

He teaches Calculus, Higher Engineering Mathematics, and Engineering Maintenance—subjects known for being technical and often dense. But his classes don’t feel like textbook recitations. He’s focused, structured, and clear, but always encourages interaction. Ask a question, challenge an idea, explain your reasoning—he wants students thinking, not just repeating.

His perfectionist side comes through in how he prepares and delivers his lessons. Every example has a purpose. Every step is intentional. He expects students to take the work seriously—but he also gives them the tools to succeed.

 

Outside the classroom, Rogers is a football fan and a gospel music enthusiast. He spends his downtime listening to Hillsong and digging into personal research. It fits him—steady, curious, and committed to growing just as much as he expects his students to grow.

He doesn’t try to overcomplicate his message:

“Strive to be the best in whatever you do.”

And from the way he teaches to the way he carries himself—it’s clear he lives by that.

In a department full of future engineers, Rogers Oyomirwoth is the kind of teacher who reminds them that math isn’t just a subject—it’s a tool. And if you know how to use it, you can solve just about anything.
