SECTION 4: RULES FOR VOCATIONALLY
2. National Instructional Programmes: Engineering
2.10 Baccalaureus Technologiae: Engineering: Electrical
(Programme code: BTELN)
A
Admission requirements
One of the following:
(i) National Diploma: Engineering: Electrical (S4) with Mathematics III OR
(ii) National Diploma In Electrical Engineering (T3) with Mathematics III
PLUS the Bridging Subject: Design Project III (DPJ391U) OR
(iii) National Higher Diploma in Electrical Engineering (T4) with Mathematics III,
PLUS the Bridging Subject: Design Project III (DPJ391U) OR
(iv) equivalent relevant qualification.
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
*** 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 and outcomes of
qualification
Students will be competent to design, implement and control production, testing, planning, construction, commissioning and maintenance in the field of Electrical Engineering by applying technical knowledge, engineering principles, innovative design, problem-solving techniques and managerial skills. They will be capable of exercising independent technological judgement and responsible decision making by taking into account the relevant financial, economic, commercial, social, environmental and statutory factors. A qualified person will be able to register with the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) as a Professional Technologist in the field of Electrical Engineering.
QUALIFICATION OUTCOMES AND ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
Specific exit level outcomes and associated assessment criteria for this qualification are available in separate internal departmental documents.
C
Subject prerequisites and co-
requisites
Refer to table B for the prerequisites and co-requisites 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 registered for 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). More details are given in the tutorial le�ers.F
Industrial project IV
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 a presentation which is evaluated by a panel of experts from Unisa and industry according to the standards required by the Engineering Council of South Africa.
G
Prescribed books
The books prescribed for each subject are specified in the first tutorial le�er of each subject. Tutorial le�ers are also available on myUnisa.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. Refer to table B for alternative study units.
