VISION OF THE DEPARTMENT

OF CIVIL ENGINEERING and SURVEYING

To become a centre of excellence for competitive

career oriented education and research in

Civil Engineering and Surveying.

What is a University of Technology?

A university of technology is characterized by being research informed rather thanresearch driven where the focus is on strategic and applied research that can betranslated into professional practice. Furthermore, research output iscommercialized thus providing a source of income for the institution. Learningprogrammes, in which the emphasis on technological capability is as important ascognitive skills, are developed around graduate profiles as defined by industry andthe professions.

QUALIFICATION PURPOSE

The purpose of The National Diploma: Engineering: Civil is to train civilengineering technicians who will meet the criteria for registration as a professionaltechnician by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA), and who will displaycompetence as part of the engineering team in the execution of technical tasksunder remote supervision by using and applying their knowledge in independent

judgement in the identification and solution of civil engineering problems.

The purpose of The National Diploma: Surveying is to train surveyors who areneeded for the highly technical skills required for the mapping of the country'sassets as well as to provide the infra-structure for the development of the country.Many job opportunities exist in this field and therefore skilled technicians need tobe trained continuously.

Learners qualifying with this qualification will be able to register as a SurveyTechnician with PLATO. They will be employed in the field of the surveying industry,which includes civil engineering, topographical mapping and GIS. After six yearsexperience they will be able to register as a Surveyor.

The purpose of the Baccalaureus Technologiae: Engineering: Civilis to train civiltechnologists who will meet the criteria for registration as a professionaltechnologist by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA), in the chosen field

of specialisation. The technologist, by a combination of education, training andexperience, will be able to display a high level of technical competence and ethicalconduct, which enable them to apply engineering principles and techniquesindependently to problems of varying complexity within their specialist discipline.

The purpose of the Baccalaureus Technologiae: Surveyingis to educate and traincompetent, responsible and accountable surveyors who can be registered asprofessional surveyors. They will be qualified to work independently, performadvanced surveying skills and manage a survey practice. The need exists for the

training of specialists in the field of engineering surveying to provide for theacademic requirements as set out by the South African Council for Professionaland Technical Surveyors so that candidates can register as Professional Surveyorsand to produce qualified entrepreneurs in the surveying field who can contributepositively to the development of the South African economy.

On analysis, the purpose as outlined here has good alignment with the institutionalmission and vision statements. Students qualifying with these qualifications havelittle or no problem in gaining meaningful employment and with the construction

boom that the country is facing (pre 2010) they are much in demand.
