EXIT LEVEL OUTCOMES

The candidate will be able to plan, design, prepare documentation for, build, and maintain civil engineering systems in accordance with the relevant codes of practice in their field of specialisation. Such work should be at a level of responsibility acceptable by the Engineering Council of South Africa for a Professional Technologist (Engineering) in training. 1. The candidate will be able to plan complex specialised Civil Engineering activity in accordance with the relevant codes of practice in their field of specialisation. * Demonstrate sufficient and appropriate knowledge of the planning procedures associated with their field of specialised Civil Engineering principles, concepts, theories, and models. * Analyse a given specialised Civil Engineering problem and provide a viable resource-based solution. 2. The candidate will be able to design Civil Engineering systems in accordance with the relevant codes of practice in their field of specialisation. * Analyse loading on a component of an engineering system and determine the effects caused by the load. * Design members and components of an engineering structure and produce working details of design, which, in turn, enable constructability. 3. The candidate must have the ability to prepare and administer the documentation for specialised Civil Engineering systems in accordance with the relevant codes of practice under supervision. * Prepare the documentation required for a civil engineering contract in their field of specialisation and administer the documentation from tender stage through to final completion y conduct and actions, which influence interpersonal relationships. * Read, interpret and write civil Engineering data, instructions and specifications. 4. The candidate must have the ability to build and maintain Civil Engineering systems in accordance with the relevant codes practice in their field of specialisation. * Procure, plan, execute and control and engineering contract related to their field of specialisation by the translation of design drawings and specifications into detailed construction instructions in written, graphic and oral forms as well as by means of electronic media. This includes the use of technical language such as mathematics, drawing symbols, etc. * Demonstrate understanding of advanced project planning, financial, budgeting, production, and safety concepts.

ASSOCIATED ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

1.1 Principles, concepts, theories and models associated with their field of specialised Civil Engineering are explained electronically, verbally, in writing, and through practical demonstration, using the appropriate and correct language terms. 1.2 The scope of the problem, including the intended use of appropriate manpower, equipment, materials, finances, and construction methodology is identified correctly. * Options and alternative methods regarding all of the correct ways in which available resources can be utilised are assessed. * A solution is selected, justified, and offered for incorporation into subsequent actions. 2.1 Loads, appropriate structural materials and elements are assessed and chosen correctly. * Relevant statistical analysis of population and associated specialised resource demand, soils information, and network analysis is correctly researched, interpreted, and assessed. 2.2 Correctly apply principles of Geotechnical engineering, road and rail, water, waste, storm-water, and environmental design. * The knowledge of masonry, steel, timber, and concrete component design is applied correctly * Correctly represent and document the detail of design in a form to ensure constructability and sufficient understanding to enable eventual execution. 3.1 Demonstrate the ability to prepare and adjudicate a tender, "take off" quantities from drawings, prepare and interpret specifications, and conduct advanced feasibility and financial studies in the field of their specialisation. * Demonstrate the ability to resolve informal disputes and conflicts, write and interpret reports, minutes and conduct (chair) meetings by liaison with other professions, contractors, the public, and clients whilst dealing with issues pertaining to their field of specialisation in civil engineering. Prepare and present clear and concise instructions. 3.2 Demonstrate the ability to use initiative, apply techniques involving lateral thinking and problem solving, exercise tact and discretion, apply ethics of profession, confidentiality, honesty, commitment and loyalty. 4.1 Ability to work in teams and to build up teams by applying discipline and maintaining a balance between business and personal lifestyle. * Ability to prepare and submit a tender, 'take off' Civil Engineering quantities from a drawing, interpret specifications, and conduct basic feasibility and financial studies. * Ability to establish a site, control quality, costs, production outputs and ensure profitability. * Manage safety, administer contracts, identify potential claims and manage labour within the parameters of the LRA. * Ability to manage the construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance of Civil Engineering structures both in their field of specialisation and related to their detailed exposure to the Industry. 4.2 Correctly apply the concepts of control, direction, planning, organisation, co-ordination, and leadership to both their field of specialisation and their Industry exposure in Civil engineering projects, design, and construction. Integrated assessment: Assessment of students to be carried out on an individual basis as follows: Semester mark by means of tests, assignments, oral and written reports and projects. Final open or closed book examination. Continuous evaluation through tests, assignments, laboratory work and reports, and or any such projects as considered appropriate. Final Evaluation can be determined either by the examination or continuous evaluation, or a combination of both in any ratio. (Note: The nature of the final evaluation processes to be determined by the Academic Board at the Technikon on recommendation of the Advisory Committee.

This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
