ELECTRICAL, ELECTRONIC AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING
BACHELOR OF ENG TECH HONS IN ELECTRICAL
Course Aim:
The aim of the Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Honours) in Electrical Engineering is to prepare and deepen candidates in electrical engineering experience in a specific discipline at the same time developing research capacity to undertake professional work and to make a contribution to the economy and national development. The Bachelor of Engineering Technology Honours Degree enhances the application of research and development as well as specialist and contextual knowledge to meet the minimum entry requirement for admission to a cognate Master’s degree.
Purpose and Rationale of the Qualification
The purpose of this qualification is to provide a foundation of research capacity in modern electrical engineering technology. The Bachelor of Engineering Technology Honours in Electrical Engineering prepares learners for research-based postgraduate study. This qualification consolidates and deepens the learner's expertise in a particular discipline and develops research capacity in the methodology and techniques of that discipline. This qualification demands a high level of theoretical engagement and intellectual independence.
This qualification has two objectives.
• To provide a foundation of research capacity in modern electrical engineering technology and a pathway to access the research higher degrees of Master’s and Doctorate that are currently offered by the department as well as other universities.
• The proposed honours degree will provide a year of specialization in one of three sub-disciplines of electrical engineering, namely Power Systems, Control Systems and Communication Systems. Further specialization within these sub-disciplines is provided by elective modules within that sub-discipline that will be guided by the research project topic that is chosen.
Professional Registration
The Bachelor of Engineering Technology in Electrical Engineering will undergo accreditation evaluation later in 2023 by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA).
Opportunities:
Electrical and electronic engineering graduates from the programme can be found designing, operating, controlling systems in electrical power generation system including both conventional and renewable energy systems, electrical power distribution systems, working as electrical and electronic technologists. With your advanced numeracy and problem-solving skills, you will have many other career options such as teaching, research and development, technical sales, or management for example.
This electrical and electronic engineering qualification offers diverse career options in areas such as telecommunications, electronics, biotechnology, manufacturing, automation, transport, defence, mining, information technology and consulting services.
Admission requirements:
• An NQF level 7, Advanced Diploma in Electrical Engineering or a cognate qualification, or
• An NQF level 7, Bachelor of Engineering Technology in Electrical Engineering or a cognate qualification, or
• An NQF level 7, Bachelor of Technology in Electrical Engineering or a cognate qualification.
If the applicant has an international qualification, that qualification must be evaluated by the South African Qualifications Authority Unit for Evaluation of Foreign Qualifications before submission of the application (visit www.saqa.org.za).
Recognition for Prior Learning (RPL) is in line with the CPUT RPL policy. Visit the RPL page for more information
