ELECTRICAL, ELECTRONIC AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING
BACHELOR OF ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

Course Aim:
The aim of this course is to prepare candidates in electrical engineering for careers in engineering itself and areas that potentially benefit from engineering skills, for achieving technological proficiency and to make a contribution to the economy and national development.

Purpose and Rationale of the Qualification
This qualification is primarily industry oriented. The knowledge emphasises general principles and application or technology transfer. The qualification provides students with a sound knowledge base in a particular field or discipline and the ability to apply their knowledge and skills to particular career or professional contexts, while equipping them to undertake more specialised and intensive learning. Programmes leading to this qualification tend to have a strong professional or career focus and holders of this qualification are normally prepared to enter a specific niche in the labour market.

Professional Registration
The Bachelor of Engineering Technology in Electrical Engineering is fully accredited by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA).

Experiential Learning
This qualification does not include work placement. All practical work is included in each engineering subject and forms a compulsory and integral part of the subject.

Opportunities:
This qualification provides:
1. Preparation for careers in engineering itself and areas that potentially benefit from engineering skills, for achieving technological proficiency and to contribute to the economy and national development;
2. The educational base required for registration as a Professional Engineering Technologist and/or Certificated Engineer with ECSA. (refer to qualification rules)
3. Entry to NQF level 8 programmes e.g., Honours, Post Graduate Diploma and BEng Programmes and then to proceed to Masters Programmes.
4. For certificated engineers, this provides the education base for achieving proficiency in mining / factory plant and marine operations and occupational health and safety.
