This candidate has complied with the minimum statutory matriculation requirements for admission to bachelor s degree study at a university in the Republic of South Africa. This candidate has complied with the minimum statutory requirements for admission to bachelor degree studies at a university in the Republic of South Africa. A1 Introduction A degree shall not be awarded to a student who holds a conditional exemption certificate until all the conditions have been met and a certificate of complete exemption can be produced. This section of the Calendar contains the rules for the various degrees, diplomas and certificates offered by Unisa. If, a er having carefully read this part of the Calendar you still have problems in deciding on a course of studies or doubts as to the interpretation of the rules, you are most welcome to write to the Registrar (Academic). You may also discuss the ma er in person with the staff of the Department of Student Admissions and Registrations (Tel (012) Pretoria or (011) Florida) or staff a ached to one of the registration facilities. When reading the composition of the various curricula, you must take into account the modularised semesterised tuition model. See Part 2 of the Calendar to check whether and in which semester a specific module for which you wish to register is being offered. Unless otherwise specified, the admission requirement for studies at Unisa is a certificate of exemption from the matriculation examination. See G13 in Part 1 of the Calendar. The following is an abstract of Rule G13. NB Part 1 of the Calendar contains the General Rules applicable to registered students and is issued to them together with their registration material. G13 Admission to studies NB 1 Certified copies of your qualification at matriculation level and any other document(s) prescribed for admission to studies for your proposed degree or diploma must accompany your FIRST application for registration. The number of study units for which you may enrol in your FIRST YEAR of registration can inter alia be restricted by your results at matriculation level see under Number of study units per year and readmission to study in Section D3. The same restrictions are applicable to registrations for non-degree purposes (NDP). (1) To be registered as a candidate for a DEGREE, a student must hold one of the following certificates and submit an certified copy thereof together with his/her FIRST application for registration: (a) a senior certificate with a matriculation or university admission endorsement issued by the South African Certification Council; In addition a student must have satisfied any other requirements which may appear under Admission in the rules for the degree concerned (e g a prospective BSc student must have passed Mathematics at a specified level). IMPORTANT If you hold a senior or school leaving certificate without a matriculation exemption, matriculation or university admission endorsement, you should contact the University in connection with a certificate of conditional exemption (e g on grounds of age (+23)) see NB3 below in connection with applications for exemption, conditional exemption or exemption by virtue of qualifications obtained in foreign countries. South African students who first obtained a senior or school leaving certificate without a matriculation exemption, matriculation or university admission endorsement and then began studies for an approved THREE- or FOUR-YEAR diploma (e g at a Teachers College, a Technikon, a University or a Nursing College that was affiliated to a South African university), can normally apply to the University for a certificate of exemption on completion of the diploma. (2) The requirements for admission to studies for the various DIPLOMAS and CERTIFICATES are stipulated in the relevant college rules, and the minimum requirements a student must satisfy to be registered for non-degree purposes appears in NB3 below. NB 3 To register for a DIPLOMA OR CERTIFICATE IN EDUCATION, you must hold at least a senior or school leaving certificate (with or without a matriculation exemption, matriculation or university admission endorsement) but with at least five subjects on Higher and/or Standard Grade. Alternatively, you must qualify for an exemption certificate or conditional exemption certificate issued by the Matriculation Board of the Commi ee of University Principals (now known as the Higher Education South African (HESA)). In some cases you must also submit evidence that you have satisfied one or more additional requirements. The requirements for admission to studies vary from qualification to qualification. See under Admission in the relevant rules in the different parts of the Calendar. 5

8 To register for any course or module for NON-DEGREE PURPOSES (NDP), you must hold at least a senior or school leaving certificate with at least five subjects on Higher and/or Standard Grade. Alternatively you must qualify for an exemption certificate or conditional exemption certificate issued by the Matriculation Board of the Commi ee of University Principals (now known as the Higher Education South African (HESA)). Certificates of CONDITIONAL EXEMPTION are issued by the Matriculation Board of the Commi ee of University Principals (now known as the Higher Education South African (HESA))(MB). Applications must, however, be submi ed to the University, not the MB. See the address below and Miscellaneous Fees in the Information Brochure for the amount payable. Note that such certificates must be renewed periodically. If it must be renewed on or before 31 March 2006, it is NOT valid for registration in 2006, and must therefore be renewed immediately. (3) The requirements to be satisfied by a student who wishes to register for specified study units in specified subjects, will be found in the rules of the Colleges concerned and, in the case of language courses in the relevant subject chapter in Part 2 of the Calendar. Persons who may qualify for this type of exemption are, inter alia, candidates who have: (a) a ained the age of 23 years on or before 31 December of the academic year in which they wish to write their first examinations in degree courses, and have passed at least FOUR* approved subjects at Grade 12/Standard 10 level with E symbols or higher (only Higher or Standard Grade), or an equivalent examination, eg G.C.E. O-Level. In addition, special provision is made for candidates who reach the age of 45 years before or during their first year of registration. NOTE that if you qualify only for conditional exemption on grounds of age (+23), you may enrol for a maximum of ONLY TWO MODULES in your FIRST TUITION PERIOD of registration at this University; or (b) obtained a senior or school leaving certificate and are required to satisfy only ONE requirement to qualify for a matriculation or university admission endorsement. (If you qualify for this type of conditional exemption, it will normally be indicated on your examination results NOT on your final senior or school leaving certificate.) Enquiries in connection with and applications for this type of exemption should be made direct to Unisa. It is generally known as ORDINARY conditional exemption; or (c) passed a senior certificate AND have: (i) passed a Certificate programme or Advanced Certificate Programme, approved for this purpose, at Unisa; or (ii) passed the access programme of Unisa; or (iii) passed an entrance examination at another South African University, on the grounds of which he/she would be admi ed to degree studies at that University. Prospective students who have obtained qualifications in FOREIGN COUNTRIES, are advised to consult the University in advance to determine whether they will qualify for some type of exemption. Enquiries in connection with exemption certificates or conditional exemption certificates may be addressed to: The Registrar (Academic) PO Box 392 Tel. (012) UNISA 0003 ORIGINAL documents must be submi ed in support of any application for exemption. Certified copies or facsimiles are NOT acceptable. Documents in foreign languages must be accompanied by original official translations. If you hold a conditional exemption certificate, approval of your application for registration at Unisa will be subject to the conditions under which the certificate was issued. * At least one subject on Higher Grade must normally be included, and at least three of the four subjects must have been passed at one and the same examination. 6

Further advice and information on particular subjects will be found in the relevant chapter together with the closing dates for assignments and dates for practical work and practical examinations. THE RULES ARE STRICTLY APPLIED AND FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THEM WILL CAUSE UNNECESSARY DELAYS AND MAY RESULT IN THE PARTIAL OR TOTAL CANCELLATION OF YOUR APPLICATION FOR REGISTRATION. Sc1 Admission (1) To be registered as a candidate for the BSc degree, a student must: (a) hold one of the following certificates (see IMPORTANT below and Sc1(1) NB1): (i) a matriculation certificate issued by the Joint Matriculation Board; (ii) a senior or school leaving certificate with a matriculation exemption endorsement signed by the Secretary of the Joint Matriculation Board; 7

10 8 (b) (c) (iii) (iv) (v) a senior certificate with a matriculation or university admission endorsement issued by the South African Certification Council; a certificate of full or conditional exemption from the matriculation examination issued by the Joint Matriculation Board; an exemption certificate or conditional exemption certificate issued by the Matriculation Board of the Commi ee of University Principals. A degree shall not be awarded to a student who holds a conditional exemption certificate until all the conditions have been met and an exemption certificate can be produced. AND have satisfied the following prerequisite in respect of Mathematics: (i) obtained at least 40% (E symbol) in Mathematics HIGHER GRADE at matriculation level or (ii) obtained at least 50% (D symbol) in Mathematics STANDARD GRADE at matriculation level or (iii) passed Mathematics at matriculation level prior to the differentiation or (iv) passed an equivalent ** examination in Mathematics; or (v) passed the Mathematics access module MAT011K see Sc1(1)(c) below and the subject chapter on Mathematics in Part 2 of the Calendar. Students who have matriculation exemption as specified in Sc1(1)(a) but who do not satisfy the minimum requirements for mathematics as stated in Sc1(1)(b): (i) a student may register for the Mathematics access module (MAT011K) and a maximum of four of the undermentioned modules for non-degree purposes (NDP). The College of Science, Engineering and Technology introduced a diagnostic test for which students must register before registering for MAT011. This test, MDA010F is a pre-registration requirement for MAT011K, and will be wri en on 6 February 2006, but the final date for registering for the test will be 22 January No students may be registered directly for MAT011 unless they have first obtained a result for the diagnostic test. General comments on the diagnostic test: This test is a guide and should a student obtain 51 (see below) he/she may, although this is not advisable, still continue with his/ her registration. The explanation of the results (which do not reflect percentages) is given in Tutorial Le er 101 for MDA010F. On the examination results le er the codes 51, 52, 53 are indicated. These codes indicate the following: 51 = standard is too low and student is advised not to continue with the Mathematics module. This is advice which the student is free to ignore. 52 = standard is low and the student should get support from other sources in the University. These sources are given in the Tutorial Le er 101 for MDA010F. ** A student who has NOT passed Mathematics at matriculation level at the required level, and has not passed either Mathematics on at least O -level for the General Certificate of Education (GCE) or NTC V Mathematics (or NTC IV Mathematics with at least 50%), but has a similar qualification in Mathematics, must FIRST write to the Registrar (Academic) or discuss the ma er in person with the staff of the Department of Student Admissions and Registrations (Tel. (012) ) to determine whether it will be acceptable. (d) 53 = standard is sufficient and the student should cope with the study of MAT011. Where possible, students should be advised against registering for too many modules as the cost of prescribed books purchased will be for their account and will not be refunded by the University should they later cancel their access registration. All registrations where the module is required for access purposes must be against qualification code Students who have matric exemption but require Mathematics to enter the College of Science, Engineering and Technology must be registered for the MDA010F module for NDP (code 00019). Students who repeat MAT011 in 2007 will not be required to register for the MDA010F. As soon as MAT011 has been passed, the student may register for the BSc degree (in accordance with Sc3(2) and (3)), and any of the undermentioned modules passed (excluding MAT011), will be recognised as credits towards the degree. Credit will be granted for FIVE first level modules in Mathematics for a BSc degree.

Students who do not have matriculation exemption as stated in Sc1(1)(a) but who hold a senior or school leaving certificate: There are two possibilities: (i) Students who obtained less than 40% (E symbol) in Mathematics HIGHER GRADE or less than 50% (D symbol) in Mathematics STANDARD GRADE at matriculation level. Such students must register for CSS011 (English for Science Access) and MAT011 (Access to Mathematics), and may register for a maximum of two modules from the list given in Sc1(1)(c)

11 (ii) for non-degree purposes. When both CSS011 and MAT011 have been passed the student may apply for a Senate discretionary conditional exemption certificate, and any of the modules from the list in Sc1(1)(c) that have been passed can be recognised as credits towards a BSc degree. Students who obtained at least 40% (E symbol) in Mathematics HIGHER GRADE or at least 50% (D symbol) in Mathematics STANDARD GRADE at matriculation level. Such students must register for CSS011 (English for Science Access), and may register for a maximum of two first-level modules in the subjects given at the beginning of Chapter 2, except for those modules where the student does not satisfy the stated mathematics or other prerequisites, or does not satisfy the stated registration requirements. When CSS011 and the two first-level modules has been passed the student may apply for a Senate discretionary conditional exemption certificate, and any first-level modules mentioned in the previous sentence that have been passed can be recognised as credits towards a BSc degree. NB If you hold a senior or school leaving certificate without a matriculation exemption, matriculation or university admission endorsement, you should contact the University in connection with conditional exemption (eg on grounds of age (+23)) see Sc1(1) NB 1. If you first obtained a senior or school leaving certificate without a matriculation exemption, matriculation or university admission endorsement, and then began studies for an approved THREE- or FOUR-YEAR DIPLOMA (eg at a Teachers College, a Technikon, a University or a Nursing College that was affiliated to a South African university), you can normally apply to the University for a certificate of exemption on completion of the diploma. A certified copy of the relevant document under Sc1(1)(a) AND evidence that you have satisfied the Mathematics requirement in Sc1(1)(b)(i) (iv) or Sc1(1)(c), must accompany your FIRST application for registration. See G13 in Section 1 in connection with applications for a certificate of exemption, conditional exemption and exemption by virtue of qualifications obtained in other countries. (2) Application for registration for a second BSc degree A student who has completed a BSc or another degree in Science or Engineering may not register for a second BSc degree without permission of the Senate. Applications must be submi ed on the prescribed form which appears at the end of Section 6. The application must be accompanied by a statement of all the courses already passed, unless he/she completed his/her previous qualification(s) at Unisa. The sixteen modules on second and third level prescribed in accordance with Rule Sc5(1)(a) must be passed at this University towards the second BSc degree. Exemption from these modules cannot be granted. A student may not choose as a major subject for the second BSc degree a subject which was passed as a major subject for the first BSc degree. (3) Application for registration for a BSc degree a er a completed Bachelors degree Students who have completed a Bachelors degree (not necessarily in Science) must pass the sixteen modules on second and third level prescribed in accordance with Rule Sc5(1)(a) at this university. Exemption from these modules may not be granted. If a student is exempted from one or more modules (or a course) on third-year level on the grounds of courses passed at this or another university towards a completed degree, such modules/ courses will NOT be counted as part of a major subject towards the BSc degree, except in the case of third-level modules that were previously passed at this university for the National Certificate in Datametrics or for non-degree purposes (NDP) in accordance with the provisions of Sc13(1)(d). See also Sc7(3). The sixteen modules on second and third level prescribed by Rule Sc5(1)(a) must be passed at this University. Sc2 Definitions (1) Study units in all subjects are known as MODULES. (2) A student receives credit for each study unit passed see Sc6. (3) If Module A is a PREREQUISITE for Module B, a student must pass Module A before he/she enrols for Module B. (4) If Module A is a REGISTRATION REQUIREMENT for Module B and a student wishes to enrol for Module B but has not yet passed Module A, he/she must register for Modules A and B simultaneously. A student may NOT cancel his/her enrolment for a registration requirement unless the module(s) for which it is prescribed is(are) also cancelled. (5) Modules, courses and the papers of second- and third-year courses are designated by codes consisting of seven characters. The first three indicate the subject, the fourth the level of the study unit and the next two the number of the unit. The seventh character is for purposes of control. EXAMPLES CHE101N is module number 1 (or 101) on level 1 in the subject Chemistry CHE213V is module number 3 (or 203) on level 2 in the subject Chemistry MAT301S is module number 1 (or 301) on level 3 in the subject Mathematics NB The FULL (eg MAT101L or MAT102M) for each study unit must be used by students in all cases. The full codes will be found in the respective subject chapter in Part 2 of the Calendar. (6) The examination in each module with a theoretical component consists of one paper of two hours (or, in specified cases, three hours). Sc3 Duration of study and number of study units per year (1) The BSc degree cannot be completed in under THREE YEARS. It must be obtained within ten years of a student s first registration for the degree. (2) ON FIRST REGISTRATION and on RE-ENROLMENT at this University the number of study units for which a student may register is determined by Number of study units per year in Section D3 in Part 1 of the Calendar. (i) (ii) NB A student who is restricted to registration for FOUR modules may register for ONE of the following as an additional module: CSS101H (Comprehension Skills for Science) MAT110M (Precalculus Mathematics A) MAT111N (Precalculus Mathematics B) All three modules may be taken as additional modules only by students who register for a maximum of two other modules. One course is regarded as the equivalent of four modules for the purpose of this rule, and two courses as the equivalent of eight modules. (3) A student may register for a maximum of TWELVE modules a year. The maximum includes any modules that are taken for non-degree purposes (NDP) in accordance with Sc5(1)(e). Sc4 Subjects The subjects in which modules/courses may be selected for the BSc degree are listed below. The syllabuses, prerequisites and all relevant information relating to the subject will be found in the subject chapter in Part 2 of the Calendar 9

For general information and examples of curricula for students who are interested in particular subjects you should refer to the relevant chapter see also 4.1. (1) The curriculum for the BSc degree comprises THIRTY MODULES (except where indicated otherwise under the specialisation streams), must be composed as follows: (a) At least TWENTY-FOUR of the thirty modules must be in subjects from the list under Sc4. Note that: not more than FOURTEEN of the thirty modules may be on first level. This includes any courses that are selected under Sc5(1)(c). Additional modules on first level may be taken for non-degree purposes (NDP), subject to Sc5(1)(e); at least SIXTEEN of these twenty-four modules must be on second and third level and of these at least EIGHT must be on third level. If Physics III, Psychology III or Chemistry III were included in the curriculum, at least four further modules on third level must be selected. If any two of Physics III, Psychology III and Chemistry III were included, the two courses are regarded as the equivalent of ten modules on third level. See Sc5(1)(b); for the purpose of this rule, Courses I, II and III in Physics, Chemistry and Psychology are each regarded as the equivalent of two, three and five modules respectively. NB 2 If a student is exempted from one or more modules (or a course) on third-year level, such modules/course will NOT be counted among the four modules (or one course) required on third level (or higher) in accordance with Sc5(1)(b), except in the case of third-level modules that were previously passed for the National Certificate in Datametrics and for non-degree purposes (NDP) in accordance with the provisions of Sc13(1)(d). See also Sc7(3). No student may be exempted from more than fi een modules (or the equivalent in courses and modules), except in accordance with the provisions of General Rule G17 (4) in Part 1 of the Calendar. Courses or modules passed by a graduate for non-degree purposes (NDP) in accordance with the exception under General Rule G19 in Part 1 of the Calendar, may, subject to the approval of College and Senate, be credited towards the BSc degree or the National Certificate in Datametrics at a later date provided that the duration of study for such degree or diploma is not less than the prescribed minimum period required to complete the relevant qualification. (b) (c) (d) (e) The curriculum must include at least ONE MAJOR SUBJECT. For this purpose, each major consists of at least four modules (or one course) on third level as specified for each major subject. A particular module cannot be counted as a credit for more than one major subject. Not more than THREE courses on first-year level (the equivalent of six modules) may be in subjects from the curricula of first Bachelor s degrees of other Colleges. Such courses must be selected and taken subject to the examination timetable and the rules of the College concerned. Such courses on first-year level are each regarded as the equivalent of two modules on first-year level. Not more than FIFTEEN modules may be selected in any particular subject for degree purposes, unless both Experimental Physics or Theoretical Physics are taken as major subjects. Subject to the provisions of (e) below, additional modules may be taken for non-degree purposes (NDP). In addition to the THIRTY modules that may be selected for the BSc degree curriculum in accordance with Sc5(1)(a) (d), a student may register for a maximum of EIGHT modules (or a maximum of two courses, or a maximum of four modules and one course) for nondegree purposes (NDP) concurrently with those for the BSc degree subject to Sc3(4). (A er the student has satisfied the requirements for the BSc degree, a final decision can be made (if necessary) in consultation with the Department of Student Admissions and Registrations as to which modules will be recognized for degree and for non-degree purposes.) (2) Modules and/or courses for each year must be selected in such a manner that the examination dates DO NOT CLASH. The theoretical examinations in modules and courses on Levels 1, 2 and 3 are conducted in October/November. Examinations in semester modules are conducted in May/June and October/November. (3) Credit is NOT granted for a particular module as well as its equivalent(s). See under General Information under the relevant subject. Sc6 Pass-mark and subminima; retention of credit (1) To pass a module, a candidate must obtain at least 50% in the examination but, in the case of the modules listed below, both a pass-mark of at least 50% and the subminimum opposite the module concerned must be obtained. In the case of modules with both a practical and a theoretical component, credit for one component (practical or theoretical) can be retained for a maximum of two successive calendar years a er the year in which it was passed, on condition that the student passes the other component within that period. The student must re-enrol for the module concerned in the year(s) in which the uncompleted component is repeated

13 There is, at present, no time limit on the retention of credit for modules in which a student has passed as a whole, but conditions may be a ached to the granting of exemptions. Module Subminimum MIB % in the theory and 50% in the practical ZOL % in the theory and 50% in the project (2) See General Rules G22 and G23 in Part 1 of the Calendar for the requirements to pass individual papers and Courses I, II and III in Archaeology, Geography and Psychology. Sc7 Pass with distinction (1) A candidate shall pass a major subject with distinction if he/ she obtains an average of at least 75% in the prescribed thirdlevel modules. To pass with distinction in the final course of Archaeology, Psychology and Geography a candidate shall obtain an average of at least 75% in all the papers combined. (2) A candidate shall be awarded the degree with distinction if he/she obtains, on third level, an average of 75% for his best eight modules, or nine modules if Archaeology, Geography or Psychology is selected as a major or ten modules if two of Archaeology, Geography and Psychology are selected as major subjects at Unisa. For this purpose Archaeology III, Geography III (Option B) and Psychology III (any option) are each (prior to 2002) regarded as the equivalent of five third-level modules. (3) Only third level modules passed for a completed Diploma/ National Certificate in Datametrics and for non-degree purposes (NDP) in accordance with Sc13(1)(d) can later be counted among the four modules (or one course) on third level required for the BSc degree in accordance with Sc5(1)(b) and can be considered for the purpose of distinctions. Other third-level modules from which a student has been exempted will not be considered for the purpose of distinctions. Sc8 Major subjects see also Sc5(1)(b) Major subjects for the BSc degree must be selected from the list under Sc4. The modules (or the course) a student must pass to obtain credit for a particular major subject are listed in the relevant chapter. A subject in which a student has passed as a major or principal subject for a completed degree may not be selected as a major for this degree. NB A particular module cannot be recognized as part of more than one major subject (eg COS311 can be recognized as part of a major in either Computer Science or Information Systems but NOT for both subjects). C h a p t e r 4 Advice and information on registration for the BSc Degree 4.1 Procedure for compiling a BSc curriculum NOTE that each subject is discussed under a separate chapter in Part 2 of the Calendar. A form to assist you in compiling your curriculum appears at the end of Section 6. NB If you are interested in a particular subject (or subjects), first read the relevant chapter before deciding on the modules to be taken in your first year. A student who wishes to register for the BSc degree may, where applicable, consider registering first for the National Certificate in Datametrics. All credits obtained for the certificate will normally be recognized as credits for the BSc degree at a later date. Particulars of the National Certificate (including model curricula) will be found in Chapter 4. BEFORE you complete the registration form, you are strongly advised to follow the important general information under the relevant subject. See also Rule Sc3 for possible restrictions. The dates for practical work and practical examinations also appear under the relevant chapter. It is quite simple to compile a BSc curriculum if you begin as follows: Divide a sheet of paper horizontally into three parts to represent the three levels, with four or more columns one for each of the subjects which you include in your curriculum. See the examples under You must select at least EIGHT modules (or one course and four modules or two courses) on third level (or higher) in such a manner that at least one major is included see Sc5(1) and Sc8. Fill in the codes for these modules in the appropriate columns and blocks on your diagram Consult the relevant subject chapter to determine which modules are prescribed as the prerequisites and registration requirements for each of the third-level modules you have already selected. Fill in the codes for the new modules in the appropriate columns and blocks Repeat this procedure in respect of the prerequisites and registration requirements for those modules and/or recommended modules which you added under above. EXAMPLE 1 If you have selected Chemistry and Mathematics as your major subjects (see the respective subject chapters), your curriculum will already contain the following 23 modules: Level 3 CHE311/321, 312/322, 313/323, 314/324 Level 2 CHE211/221, 212/222, 213/223, 214/224 Level 1 CHE101, 2, 3, 4 4 MAT modules MAT211, MAT213 At least 2 other secondlevel MATmodules MAT112, 113, 111, 103 CSS101 Total This curriculum will be in order if seven more modules are added (eight if exemption (without credit) from CSS101 is granted). These modules may be in Mathematics and/or Applied Mathematics, or in one or more other subjects. See and below. EXAMPLE 2 If you have selected Computer Science and Geography as major subjects then your curriculum will already contain the following 31 modules: Level 3 COS301, 311, 321, 332 Level 2 COS201, 211, 214, 221, 233 Level 1 COS101, 111, 112, 113 GGH301, 302, 303, 304, 305 GGH201, 202, 203, 204 GGH101, 102 MAT111, 112, 103 Total

14 This curriculum will be in order if another three modules (preferable on first level) are taken If you have not yet selected at least SIXTEEN modules on second and third level, you must now select the necessary number of modules at this level, bearing in mind that the new prerequisites and registration requirements and recommended modules must also be added. You may select modules in subjects other than those already chosen Repeat the procedure described in until you have a total of THIRTY modules in your curriculum. 4.2 How many modules can you cope with each year? No student may register for more than twelve modules a year for the BSc degree. See Sc11 in connection with the National Certificate in Datametrics. This, however, does not answer the question posed. We answer it in the light of the following findings: The results of a survey indicate that the average Unisa science student has about 14 hours per week available for study. Compare this with the average student at a residential university who has about 40 hours available. Since he/she can usually manage only four first-year courses this implies that the average Unisa student can only manage the equivalent of a li le more than one first-year course per year. It is thus recommended that you restrict the number of modules you take each year to comply with your own personal circumstances. NB 1 You must complete the degree within 10 academic years in the study units available during your period of study. A simple table that you can use to determine for how many modules you should register for has been derived from the results of the survey mentioned above: Hours available for study per week Number of modules the student can manage Hours available for study per week Number of modules the student can manage Less than More than To use this table you must first make a realistic estimate of the average number of hours you will have available each week for study from 1 February to 15 October. You should then determine the number of modules for which you should register from the table. Suppose we consider our average student as an example. He/she has 14 hours available per week (say 2 hours per evening Monday to Friday and 4 hours over the weekend) and for him/her the table gives: Recommended number of modules per year = 5 You may feel that you can manage much more, but remember you will find it much more stimulating if you pass all your modules each year than if you register for too many and pass only a few. NB 2 Note that the abovementioned survey revealed that many students have poor academic records because they a empt to do too many study units. A ention is also drawn to the restrictions in Sc3 and the requirements for readmission to study in part 1 of the calendar. 4.3 Compulsory handbooks See under General Information in Part 1 of the Calendar. 4.4 Registration and fees See also under General Information and D1(2): Payment of Fees in Part 1 of the Calendar and the Information Brochure. 4.5 Applications for exemption from study units With due observance of General Rule G17 in Part 1 of the Calendar, students may apply for exemption from study units towards a BSc degree or the National Certificate in Datametrics that are not necessarily offered by the College of Science, Engineering and Technology at Unisa. Such applications for exemption will only be considered on condition that the previous University or Technikon would have granted recognition for that study unit towards a similar degree at that institution. An application form will be found in the Information Brochure. 4.6 Registration for a second BSc Degree or the equivalent See Sc1(2) for the BSc degree and Sc10(2) for the National Certificate in Datametrics. 4.7 Electronic pocket calculators for examination purposes Students may use electronic pocket calculators in the examinations only where special permission is granted by the departments concerned. A pocket calculator used in the examinations must comply with the following requirements: (a) it must be ba ery driven and the ba eries must be fully charged (b) it must not be programmable (c) it must fit into a jacket pocket (d) no calculator literature or instruction manual may be taken into the examination room (e) there may be no notes in or on the calculator (f) calculators may not be passed from one student to another during the examination. For general scientific work the following functions will be adequate: sin, cos, tan, arcsin, arccos, arctan, x, x 2, y x, log, :ln, 10 x, e x, two memories and scientific notation. That is, you should be able to manage five modules per year. At this rate it will take six years to complete 30 modules for the BSc degree if no modules are repeated. 12

This enables the student to obtain recognition, by means of a qualification, for the acquisition of that knowledge of datametrics for which he/she has a need. It also enables the employer to set a limited but specifically directed requirement for employees already in service. The National Certificate in Datametrics has a reasonable measure of flexibility, enabling the student to provide for his/her own particular needs by compiling his/her own curriculum from a variety of modules and subjects. Model curricula will be found under For whom? The National Certificate in Datametrics is intended inter alia for the following persons: (a) Researchers conducting opinion polls. (b) Postgraduate students and researchers in economics, engineering, the natural and the social sciences who have to process quantitative data. (c) Decision makers and persons preparing themselves for posts at middle and top level in administration or Management. A communication knowledge of the computer is a necessity for persons in these posts. (d) Accountants, cost and Management accountants, design engineers, quantity surveyors, city planners and building managers who use or could use the computer for technical work to an increasing extent. (e) Computer operators and programmers who wish to obtain an official qualification. (f) BSc and BCom students who already have modules or courses to their credit, as well as prospective students in these directions. (g) Graduates wishing to qualify for admission to studies for the Honours BSc degree in a particular subject. See the examples under Rules for the National Certificate in Datametrics These rules should be read in conjunction with the general rules and general information in Part 1 of the Calendar. Sc10 Admission (1) To be registered as a candidate for this certificate, a student must: (a) hold one of the following certificates: (i) a matriculation certificate issued by the Joint Matriculation Board; (ii) a senior or school leaving certificate with a matriculation exemption endorsement signed by the Secretary of the Joint Matriculation Board; (iii) a senior certificate with a matriculation or university admission endorsement issued by the South African Certification Council; (iv) a certificate of full or conditional exemption from the matriculation examination issued by the Joint Matriculation Board; or (v) qualify for an exemption certificate or conditional exemption certificate issued by the Matriculation Board of the Commi ee of University Principals.

Students who do not have matriculation exemption as stated in Sc1(1)(a) but who hold a senior or school leaving certificate: Sc12 Subjects The subjects in which modules for the certificate may be selected, are as follows: Computer Science/Information Science (COS and INF) Mathematics (MAT) Sc13 Operations Research (OPS) Physics (PHY) Statistics (STA) Composition and completion of the curriculum All such students (whether or not they have passed mathematics at the relevant level) must register for the access modules in both Mathematics and English. When both these examinations have been passed, the student may apply for a Senate discretionary conditional exemption certificate. NB If you hold a senior or school leaving certificate without a matriculation exemption, matriculation or university admission endorsement, you should contact the University in connection with conditional exemption (eg on grounds of age (+23)). If you hold a senior or school leaving certificate without a matriculation exemption, matriculation or university admission endorsement, and then began studies for an approved THREE- or FOUR-YEAR DIPLOMA (eg at a Teachers College, a Technikon, a University or a Nursing College that was affiliated to a South African university), you can normally apply to the University for a certificate of exemption on completion of the diploma. A certified copy of the relevant document under Sc10(1)(a) AND evidence that you have satisfied the Mathematics requirements in Sc10(1)(b)(i) (v) or (1)(c) must accompany your FIRST application for registration. If you do NOT hold one of the certificates under Sc10(1)(a)(i) (iv), you must apply to the University for a certificate of exemption or conditional exemption. Evidence that you qualify for such exemption must accompany your FIRST application for registration. See G13 in Part 1 of the Calendar in connection with applications for a certificate of exemption, conditional exemption and exemption by virtue of qualifications obtained in other countries. (2) A student who has completed a BSc degree or another degree in Science or Engineering may not select subjects for the National Certificate in Datametrics which were included in the degree curriculum without special permission. His/Her application must be justified in writing. It must be accompanied by a statement of all the courses he/she has already passed, unless he/she completed the previous qualification(s) at Unisa. (3) Students for the National Certificate in Datametrics may not be registered concurrently for any other qualification at this or at any other university. NB 1 Students registering for semester modules MUST refer to the Information Brochure in connection with semester registrations. See the model curricula under 6.5. (1) The curriculum comprises TEN MODULES, and must be composed as follows: (a) at least EIGHT modules must be selected from the list of core modules in 6.4. Note that at least three of these eight modules must be on second and/or third level (a thirdlevel module is no longer compulsory); (b) not more than two non-core modules (or one course on first level) may be selected. (c) (d) Alternatively, a maximum of one course on first-year level (the equivalent of two modules) may be selected in a subject from the curricula of first Bachelor s degrees of other Colleges. If a student is exempted from one or more modules from a completed B-degree (the maximum is five), the modules he/she must still pass to complete the certificate must include at least three on second and/or third level. In addition to the TEN modules that must be selected for the diploma curriculum in accordance with Sc13(1)(a) (c), a student may register for a maximum of FOUR modules for non-certificate purposes concurrently with those for the certificate. Such modules may NOT be exchanged for other modules or courses. (A er the student has satisfied the requirements for the certificate, a final decision can be made (if necessary) in consultation with the Department of Student Admissions and Registrations as to which modules will be recognized for certificate and for non-certificate purposes.) NB 2 Courses or modules passed by a graduate for non-degree purposes in accordance with the exception under General Rule G19 in Part 1 of the Calendar will NOT be credited towards the BSc degree or the National Certificate in Datametrics at a later date. (2) Modules (or courses) for each year must be selected in such a way that the examination dates do not clash. Sc11 Duration of study and number of study units per year (1) Students may not be registered for more than five academic years (years of registration) towards the cerficate. It must be completed within this period of time. (2) ON FIRST REGISTRATION and on RE-ENROLMENT at this University the number of study units for which a student may register is determined by Number of study units per year in Section D3 in Part 1 of the Calendar. NB One course is regarded as the equivalent of four modules for the purpose of this rule. (i) (ii) Sc14 Exemption A student may be exempted from a maximum of FIVE modules by virtue of degree courses or modules already passed towards a completed BSc degree. Note that modules or courses for which credit has already been obtained for a completed or uncompleted degree or university diploma may not be repeated for the National Certificate in Datametrics. If the student qualifies for exemption from second-level modules, the compulsory three modules on 2nd and/or 3rd level for the National Certificate in Datametrics must be passed at Unisa. A student may, on grounds of an uncompleted BSc-degree at Unisa, be granted credit from a maximum of eight core modules and two non-core modules as required under 6.4, towards a National Certificate in Datametrics. Subject to Sc11(1), such credits will be transferred from an uncompleted BSc degree in order for the student to complete the National Certificate in 29

32 Datametrics. On registration for the BSc degree a er completion of the National Certificate in Datametrics, exemption will be granted towards the BSc degree from all courses passed for the certificate see Sc15 Pass with distinction A candidate shall be awarded the certificate with distinction if he/she obtains an average of at least 75% in three core modules on second (or third) level. Modules from which exemption has been granted and those passed for non-degree purposes (NDP) in accordance with the provisions of Sc13(1)(d) above are NOT taken into consideration for this purpose without the approval of Senate. See Sc6 in connection with the ordinary pass-mark and subminima. 6.4 Core modules for the National Certificate in Datametrics NB See under the relevant subject in Part 2 of the Calendar for the prerequisites and registration requirements for each module.

C h a p t e r 2 School of Engineering General Notice 1 Work Integrated Learning Modules (also referred to as Experiential Learning) for Engineering students INTRODUCTION To fulfill the requirements for the National Diploma: Engineering a student must have completed a minimum of one year experiential learning (In some courses this period is 18 months). This Work Integrated Learning should be under the guidance of a qualified supervisor (in some cases ECSA registered and termed a mentor) according to the syllabus guidelines. These guidelines are given in the respective programme sections. On completion of the student s work integrated learning period, the employer (supervisor/mentor) must certify that he/she has completed such learning successfully. If the employer feels that the student does not meet the minimum requirements for the National Diploma and his/her performance is still not up to standard, the period of experiential learning can be extended. GENERAL The Work Integrated Learning component for the Engineering and Mining courses is offered as one subject or as multiple subjects. A student must register, and satisfactorily complete the requirements of this subject(s) at some point in his/her studies, before a qualification can be awarded. The implication for the student is that he/she must be employed at some time in the course of his/her studies by an employer who can offer relevant and necessary Work Integrated Learning. If the student is not able to complete this experiential learning, he/she will not be awarded the qualification, even though all the academic subjects have been passed. Work Integrated Learning is usually monitored by means of a logbook and mentor system. PLACEMENT OF STUDENTS It must be emphasised that Unisa is not responsible for arranging Work Integrated Learning opportunities. In certain cases the academic staff in the School of Engineering will endeavor to facilitate certain placements. STUDENT VISITS A Unisa representative will visit the student and his/her mentor occasionally on a need-to basis. 2 Requirements for information technology related study units Computer facilities are prerequisites for students enrolling for any of the Information Technology related study units. Students must have access to computer facilities or have their own computer with the specific so ware they will require. Use the following as a guideline to ensure that you have the minimum computer configuration (or higher): an IBMTM compatible machine using a Windows 2000/NT/XP operating system. 20GB harddisk drive 128MB RAM Colour SVGA screen with 4MB controller A mouse Stiffy drive CD-ROM drive (54 speed)/dvd drive Printer (Deskjet or Laser Printer) Access to facilities and occasional Internet accesses on first year level Access to and Internet facilities on higher levels 1. National Instructional Programmes: Mining and Mining-related 1a General A diploma is a qualification awarded to students who have successfully completed a total of three year levels of study comprising theory AND acceptable experiential learning/work Integrated Learning in the relevant field of study. An exception to this is the National Diploma: Mining Engineering which will be awarded to students who have successfully completed a total of four year levels of study comprising theory and acceptable experiential learning/work Integrated Learning in the relevant field of study. 1b Admission requirements Students who register for any of the mining and mining-related diplomas must have a senior certificate education (or equivalent) with a pass in Mathematics, Science and English, (minimum D symbol at Standard Grade or at least an E at Higher Grade), OR an N3 with Mathematics, Science and English as study units, passed at 50% or higher. A course covering Mathematics, Science, English language and Engineering Technology is offered for those students who do not meet the admission requirements in these study units (Refer to the Call Centre for information on the Access Brochure). It is strongly recommended that students who wish to register for the subject MINERAL EXPLOITATION I (MEP171-X) must be or have been employed or doing experiential learning/work Integrated Learning in or on a mine. It is further recommended that the student has either passed Mathematics I or does Mathematics I in conjunction with this subject. Students should contact one of the mining lecturers for advice in this regard. 1c Experiential learning or Workplace Integrated Learning This is the term used to describe the practical on the job exposure that a student must have and forms part of the minimum requirements for the ultimate awarding of any mining or mining related diploma. 49

52 (i) (ii) (iii) Ideally you should be employed on a mine or related operation where you can gain exposure to the practical aspects relating to your field of study. Further information is given with the information on each diploma in this calendar. Students, who have already acquired adequate experience in their field of study may apply for credit for part of or the entire experiential learning component. This application is called: Recognition of Prior Experiential Learning (RPEL). For more information on costs and the procedure, phone the (mining) lecturer (011) It is very important to note that credit will be awarded not for experiences you have had but rather for what you have learned from your experiences. In most instances a portfolio will be required. In this context a portfolio will be a file or folder of information, which describes your relevant experience, identifies and analyses your learning achievements and provides proof in the form of documents that you do have the skills that you claim. It will include a CV and a comprehensive record of employment. access to computer facilities or have their own computer with the specific so ware they will require. Use the following as a guideline to ensure that you have the minimum computer configuration (or higher). an IBMTM compatible machine using a Windows 2000/NT/XP operating system. 20GB harddisk drive 128MB RAM Colour SVGA screen with 4MB controller A mouse Stiffy drive CD-ROM drive (54 speed)/ DVD drive Printer (Deskjet or Laser Printer) Access to facilities and occasional Internet accesses on first year level Access to and Internet facilities on higher levels NB Please note that less than the mentioned minimum configuration will not be suffiicient. (iv) 1d A portfolio is not just pu ing together a set of documents for someone else to assess, but is also seen as a valuable learning experience. The portfolio must adequately: Identify/describe your relevant learning accomplishments (knowledge, skills, competencies, abilities) Show a match between learning achievements and the requirements of the course Verify these learning accomplishments with supportive documents. A Practical Guide (Logbook) is issued on registration of the Practice (experiential learning) subject for the purpose of guiding, recording and verifying the experiential learning gained. The logbook includes a guide to the mentor which is there for your information as well. It also includes a tutorial le er which will inform you, in more detail, what the requirements are for completing this subject. The Logbook covers three year levels and must be completed satisfactorily to gain a pass at each year level of the subject. The exception is the mining engineering diploma, which only covers 2 year levels. Registration for any Practice subject is valid for 12 months per year level. Therea er you will need to re-register for the subject. Medium of instruction English is the medium of instruction and for writing assignments and examinations. Responses in other languages may be accepted provided that the lecturer concerned consents. The above conditions apply to MINING AND MINING-RELATED DIPLOMAS ONLY. Other Engineering fields have different criteria. 1e Advice to students The number of study units for which a student may register at any one time is optional and obviously depends on the amount of study time available and the ability of the student. As a general rule students should allow themselves a minimum of one hour of study time per day per subject (over 5 days). This figure should then be kept in mind when selecting the number of study units. (Most employed students take three study units or less.) 1.1 National Diploma: Coal Mining (Programme code: NDCOAL) NB This programme has been phased out in favour of the new National Diploma: Mining Engineering (NDMIN).

NOTES 1. PRACTICAL STUDY UNITS The student must register for the practical and related theoretical study units simultaneously. Both the practical component and the theory component must be passed to obtain full credit for the subject. The student can do the practical work in either his/her working environment or a end a practical workshop. 2. PROJECT STUDY UNITS The student must register for the project and related theoretical subject simultaneously. Both the project component and the theory component must be passed to obtain full credit for the subject. 3. CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY IV This subject may not be taken in combination with Concrete Technology IV and/or Asphalt Technology IV Programme structure all options 1. A total of eight (8) study units must be taken. 2. Environmental Management for Engineers: Civil IV is compulsory for all the options. 3. At least five (5) study units must be taken from (any) of the options and in any option at least four (4) level IV study units must be in a field of specialization Specific programme structure Construction Management 1. Choose two (2) study units from the other BTech: Engineering: Civil options. 2. An extended period of experience to enhance the applicant s engineering competency is required for ECSA registration Specific programme structure Environmental Engineering 1. The following study units are compulsary for Environmental Engineering: Environmental Engineering (Civil) IV Module A Module B 65

68 Social Environmental Studies (Civil) IV Module A Module B 2. For Environmental Engineering all the study units must be selected from the Environmental Engineering specialisation field (select two (2) of the remaining study units). 2.8 National Diploma: Engineering: Electrical (Programme code: NDEEN) A Admission requirements Refer to the admission requirements for engineering. Students who have not done Engineering Science N3, but have done other electrical study units as part of their N3 should contact the Department of Electrical Engineering for approval prior to registration. F Design project III Design Project III is the main design subject of the National Diploma: Engineering: Electrical where students apply their level III subject knowledge to solve a specific problem. Students do projects that are related to their working environments under the supervision of suitable mentors. The student must identify his/her own mentor in the working environment. The student and the mentor should then together identify a suitable project and propose it in the form of a first progress report. Students thus have to be working in a technical environment to be able to do the Design Project III. Since the projects are work-related UNISA is not in a position to provide students with projects and mentors. A suitable project will however provide for the phases of problem definition, concept study, design, evaluations and conclusions. UNISA will guide and evaluate the student through a mechanism of progress reports (3), a final report and in conclusion an oral examination. G Prescribed books B Purpose of qualification The books prescribed for each subject are specified in the first tutorial le er of each subject or on the TSA COOL site. To train a technician with a sound general knowledge of electrical engineering, who is capable of applying that knowledge to solve technical problems independently, and/or co-operatively, in a logical and responsible manner. C Composition and completion of Curriculum Table A lists all the study units from which a complete curriculum for the diploma can be composed. The following minimum requirements for the diploma should be met: 1. Compulsory study units: Communication Skills I Computer Skills I or Programming I Mathematics I, II, III Electrical Engineering I, II Electronics I, II Digital Systems I Design Project III 2. A minimum total of three credits for study units from Table A (**). 3. At least 0.5 credits for level three (III) study units. 4. Experiential training as offered in Electrical Engineering Practice I and Electrical/Electronic Engineering Practice II. ** A maximum of 0.5 credits towards the diploma may be taken from any of the other instructional offerings in Engineering. D Subject prerequisites and corequisites Refer to table A for the prerequisite and registration requirements for each subject. A prerequisite subject is a subject that must be passed before the student can enrol for another subject. A co-requisite subject is a subject that the student must register for together with the subject under consideration. The course uses Computer Based Training material; access to a Personal Computer is compulsory. Also see requirements for IT related study units. E Practical study units The student must register for the practical and related theoretical study units simultaneously. Registration fees are payable for all the practical study units. The student can do the practical work in either his/her working environment or a end a practical workshop only in Gauteng. Additional a endance fees are payable for the workshops. More details are given in the tutorial le ers. 66 H Suggested curricula Any non-compulsory study units can be chosen in the composition of a curriculum, as long as the minimum requirements are met. The curriculum should however be composed in order to prepare the student for a specific field of specialisation. Suggested fields of specialisation for curricula are the following: 1. Computer Systems 2. Electronics and Electronic Communication 3. Power Engineering 4. Process Instrumentation 5. Mechatronics 6. Clinical Engineering There are other fields of specialisation for which curricula can be composed. Refer to table A for alternative study units. I See TABLE A. Availability of study units The number of study units for which a student may register is optional and depends on the amount of study time available. As a general rule, and in order to establish a sound basis for study management, students should allow themselves a minimum of one hour of study per day per subject. This figure should then be kept in mind when selecting the number of study units. NB Please consult the responsible lecturer before registering for more than four study units Computer Systems (Programme code: NDEEN) 1. Suggested Curriculum PART 1 1.

Table B lists all the study units from which a complete curriculum for the degree can be composed. The following minimum requirements for the degree should be met: 1. Compulsory study units: IPR401E Industrial Project IV EMT401E Engineering Mathematics IV 2. A further minimum of 0.6 credits for study units from table B (***). *** A maximum of 0.2 credits towards the degree may be taken from any of the other instructional offerings in Engineering at level IV. B Purpose of qualification To train an electrical engineer technologist capable of exercising leadership and of applying problem-solving techniques and innovation in the development, production, testing, commissioning and maintenance of an engineering environment. She/he must be capable of decision-making at an intellectual level requiring mature judgement and have the ability to conceive, identify and optimise technical solutions. C Subject prerequisites and corequisites Refer to table B for the prerequisites and registration requirements for each subject. A pre-requisite subject is a subject that must be passed before the student can enrol for another subject. A co-requisite implies that the student must register for these study units together with the subject under consideration. D Compulsory subject: Industrial Project IV Since the subject Industrial Project IV is based on theoretical knowledge gained at BTech level, it is required that at least four technical electrical study units on the BTech level be completed before registration for Industrial Project IV is allowed. E Practical study units The student must register for the practical and related theoretical study units simultaneously. Registration fees are payable for all the practical study units. The student can do the practical work either in his/her working environment or a end a practical workshop (ONLY in Gauteng). Additional a endance fees are payable for the workshops. More details are given in the tutorial le ers.

79 F Industrial project IV 2. CHOOSE TWO FROM THE FOLLOWING: Industrial Project IV is the project subject of the BTech: Engineering: Electrical integrating and applying various technologies. This subject is also based on solving an industry-related problem. Students have to identify a suitable mentor in the working environment and together with the mentor identify a field of study that finds application in his/ her working environment. Due to the industrial nature of the subject UNISA cannot provide a student with a project or a mentor. The field of study as well as the mentor will be approved by a UNISA supervisor. The field of study forms the basis for the first stage of the project namely a literature study. During this phase the student familiarises him/herself with all relevant technologies in the field. Only in the next stage will the student together with his/her mentor and based on the literature study define a specific project title. The actual project then commences under the supervision of the UNISA supervisor and the guidance of the mentor. Progress reports form the basis of evaluating the student s progress and providing the necessary supervision. The final evaluation takes the form of an oral examination. G Prescribed books The books prescribed for each subject are specified in the first tutorial le er of each subject. H Suggested curricula Any non-compulsory study units can be chosen in the composition of a curriculum, as long as the minimum requirements are met. The curriculum would however normally be composed in order to prepare the student for a specific field of specialisation. Suggested fields of specialisation for curricula are the following: 1. Computer Systems 2. Power Engineering 3. Process Instrumentation 4. Telecommunication 5. Clinical Engineering There are other fields of specialisation for which curriculums can be composed.

84 OPTIONAL SUBJECTS TWO approved subjects from any engineering programme(s). At least one of the subjects must be at level III. Experiential learning related subjects may not be included in the subjects chosen from other approved engineering programmes. Students must contact the department for prior approval of subject choice. # LABORATORY COMPONENT: The compulsary practical component is done at approved laboratories country wide as arranged by UNISA or the student. The laboratory experience is gained in conjunction with theoretical learning. NOTE 1 Contact sessions may be offered for Mathematics I, Mechanics I, Mechanical Engineering Drawing I and Mechanical Manufacturing Engineering I if such need is identified. NOTE 2 The course uses Computer Based Training material; access to a Personal Computer is compulsory. Also see requirements for IT related study units Work Integrated Learning: Engineering: Industrial Work integrated learning is done at an approved company a er registering for Industrial Engineering Practice I or II. If your employer has not yet been approved by UNISA, contact the responsible lecturer. Industrial Engineering Practice I consists of a minimum of six months relevant work integrated learning a er completing at least ten study units towards the diploma. Industrial Engineering Practice II is similar except that it is done a er completing fi een study units towards the diploma. Work integrated learning is monitored by a logbook and mentor system. 1. REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS FOR WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING IDP101E Industrial Engineering Practice I: Completion of the first (S1) and second part (S2) study units (At least ten study units). IDP201E Industrial Engineering Practice II Completion of the first (S1), second (S2), and third part (S3) study units (At least fi een study units). 2. OBJECTIVES OF THE WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING INFORMATION The objectives of the information provided in this calendar can be summarised as follows: To ensure that: 2.1 the student technician receives the training, detailed in the company s training programme. 2.2 documented proof is kept of training received, progress and performance evaluations. 2.3 evaluated and approved documentation required by the Technikon considering the student technician s application for his/her diploma to be awarded, will be supplied. 3. THE NATURE OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING WORK To understand the in-service training requirements towards your career development in Industrial Engineering fully, it is necessary that you grasp the essentials in the following overview on the nature of Industrial Engineering work. Industrial Technicians/ Technologists are trained to: determine the most effective ways for organisations to use the basic factors of production people, machines, materials, information and energy to make or process a product or service. act as bridges between management goals and operational performance. They are more concerned with increasing productivity through the management of people, methods of business organisation, and technology than are engineers in other specialities, who generally work more with products or processes. solve organisational, production and related problems most efficiently. Industrial engineers/technologists/technicians 82 carefully study the product and its requirements, use mathematical methods, such as operations research to meet those requirements, and design manufacturing and information systems. develop management control systems to aid in financial planning and cost analysis, design production planning and control systems to co-ordinate activities. They control product quality and design or improve systems for the physical distribution of goods and service. determine what plant location has the best combination of raw materials availability, transportation and costs. develop wage and salary administration systems and job evaluation programmes. Many industrial technicians/technologists move into management positions because the work is closely related to managerial responsibilities. 4. WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING STRUCTURE : The following serves as a general guideline on the experiential training syllabus to be followed. FIRST PERIOD WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING (IDP101E): The first semester of work integrated learning will give you a relatively so landing in the real world. Although you may be inexperienced in the work-place situation, you will have to perform, but in a relatively controlled environment under the coaching and guidance of a mentor/supervisor. This approach will allow you the time to build your own and your employer s confidence in your abilities. The first two months of experiential learning is at the discretion of your employer, to provide induction and occupational safety training as well as other work place-related training. Your employer is also encouraged to enrol you for relevant courses and seminars to broaden your enterprise skills. This training should ensure that you, the learner, can function effectively and safely in the work place. You must receive practical workshop training of at least two week s duration. If your employer does not have workshop facilities, such training can be purchased at Technical Colleges, the CSIR, the Atomic Energy Corporation and related training institutions. An ideal training situation would be to negotiate with your employer to complete two mini projects in the remainder of the first semester. One project should be in the organisation s operational function and one in the support function. You must realise, however, that the same improvement principles hold for both the operational and the support functions. Each mini project should comprise the following: Approximately one month of actual work as an entry-level operator in the function. This develops an appreciation for work and its implications for the rest of the organisation as well as empathy for the worker. Approximately one month of study to investigate possible improvements in the relevant area. The mentor will assist you in the actual selection of a study theme. These projects are performed under supervision of the mentor and in close collaboration with the training official. You must be involved as far as possible in the compilation of project documentation, reporting and presentation of results. TRAINING IN THE TECHNICAL TRAINING CENTRE (OR OTHER INSTITUTION): NO COURSE ITEMS PERIOD IN WEEKS 1 Orientation Course (Including a one-day NOSA seminar) 1 2 First Aid First Cetificate 1 3 Drawing Interpretation 3 4 Workshop Practice 4

85 NO COURSE ITEMS PERIOD IN WEEKS 5 On-the-job Training: Practical workshop experience, planning and handling of materials. Part of maintenance, production, and construction teams. Inventory Control and Storage Operational/service activity investigations and project work (Low level). 17 TOTAL: 26 SECOND PERIOD WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING (IDP201E): You should now be more familiar with the work environment and be able to work more independently. At least two larger projects should be completed now without the one-month s duration of line experience per project. You should now also be able to understand the implications of work, by observing work being done, rather than by actually performing the relevant tasks. You should have identified at least one of the projects through your own observations and analysis. The second period of training is focused primarily on the application of industrial engineering techniques. The learner will be part of teams concerned with specific project or system development work. The following aspects will be covered: NO COURSE PERIOD IN WEEKS 6 Project and Systems Development Work: e.g. 26 Gathering, processing, and interpretation of data. Productivity improvement studies Plant/office layout and design Equipment selection and evaluation Mechanisation and Automation Materials handling analysis and design Improvement projects, feasibility studies, execution, and report writing TOTAL: Baccalaureus Technologiae: Engineering: Industrial (Programme code: BTENI) Aim of qualification Persons achieving this qualification should be competent in leading programmes involving productivity improvement, integrated manufacturing systems, operating information systems, and those of project and logistic management.
