GENERAL FACULTY RULES

Experiential Learning I and II: Students may enrol for only one subject during any of the experiential learning periods, provided that the experiential learning provider agrees to such an arrangement in writing. If the subject is the last and outstanding subject and the student has written a final exam within the last two years, the student may apply for a Deans examination. Prerequisite subjects: Students will be required to pass all first-semester (Year 1) subjects before being allowed to continue with any third-semester (Year 2) subjects. Students will be required to pass all second-semester (Year 1/2) subjects before being allowed to continue with any fourth-semester (Year 2/3) subjects. Waiving of prerequisite subjects: Prerequisite subjects will only be waived in highly exceptional cases, based on a motivation by the Head of the Department and approved by the Executive Dean (prerequisite subjects published in Report 151 are excluded). Class attendance/Assessments: Due to the serious shortage of available venues (large) for classes and/or assessments during the week, classes and/or assessments may take place on Friday afternoons and/or Saturdays.

DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE
GENERIC REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL QUALIFICATIONS OFFERED BY THIS DEPARTMENT:
The subjects taught in each year have been put together in order to provide the student with the necessary platform of skills, knowledge and mindset to enable them to solve the problems that they will encounter during that year of study. It is one package designed to work together to promote horizontal integration. If any part of that package of knowledge, skills and mindset is missing or lacking, the platform to progress to the next level of complexity is flawed and will eventually have a detrimental effect on subsequent development. The Head of the Department must give permission before a student may register for any subject. Students wishing to enrol for only a partial number of subjects for a specific year are subject to the combinations and sequences as explained of the curriculum of each year. Students should attempt to enrol for all subjects offered in a particular year for reasons of horizontal integration. A student who cannot enrol for all subjects in any particular year must contact the Head of Department. The Department is of the opinion that any student who does not hand in any two consecutive assignments or does not hand in any three assignments has not shown sufficient attendance as contemplated in rules 14.3 and 14.4(a) of the Students Rules and Regulations (Part 1). Such student will not be allowed entry to the final portfolio or oral examinations in these subjects. Such students will be considered to have deregistered these subjects in terms of rule 14.4(c) of the Students Rules and Regulations (Part 1).

REGISTRATION WITH ECSA

Successful registration with the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) is based on two pillars: Stage 1 Accredited Academic Qualification obtained from registered academic providers. This university is a registered provider with the Department of Higher Education and Training. All engineering programmes were taken through a rigorous accreditation process during 2009 to obtain their accreditation status. The National Diploma includes an experiential learning component in industry through appropriate cooperative agreements with specific companies in the industrial and service sectors in South Africa. Each programme-specific accreditation status will be published under each programmes information. Stage 2 Industrial experience of three years for diploma students (candidate technicians), and four years for degree students (candidate technologists), under the supervision of an ECSA registered professional in the workplace, after the completion of the academic qualification. All students may register with ECSA as candidate technicians after they have registered for their second year of study. (After completion of the first- and second-semester subjects of the first year). After a student has successfully completed these two stages in his/her career, he/she may apply for professional registration at ECSA. Registration with ECSA gives the qualification international status and recognition in other countries through the current Sydney and Dublin Accords.

OFFERING OF QUALIFICATIONS

On completion of three years of study (two years theoretical and one year practical), the student will receive the National Diploma: Engineering: Electrical. Detailed descriptions of careers related to each specialisation field are given. The National Diploma includes an experiential learning component in industry through appropriate cooperative agreements with specific companies in the industrial and service sectors in South Africa. After completing a further year of study, the Baccalaureus Technologiae: Engineering: Electrical will be awarded. Provision is made for students to orient themselves towards a particular field of specialisation. Students can enrol for various postgraduate degrees at the Magister Technologiae (research and structured) and Doctor Technologiae level. The Graduate School in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (GSEEE) currently coordinates all postgraduate qualifications (M Tech, MSc, D Tech) and it is managed by the Department of Electrical Engineering. A Master of Science (MSc) in Electronics and a Master of Science (MSc) in Power Engineering is also offered in association with ESIEE, Paris and Amiens respectively, both in France. Credits can be obtained towards these degrees while being enrolled for the Magister and Doctor Technologiae in Electrical Engineering at TUT.
