Purpose

ECSA views the process of professional development in engineering as having three principal phases&%2358; education, training and experience leading to registration and continuing development during practice. The phases are separated by important stages. At Stage 1, educational requirements are met. During employment, training is completed and experience is gained to attain the competencies for Stage 2, namely professional competence at the point of registration. Holding a qualification attached to a programme accredited for the category of registration is the normal way of meeting the Stage 1 educational requirements. (ECSA document&%2358; E-02-PT Rev1 Bachelor of Engineering Tech)

The purpose of the BEngTech (Civil Engineering) is thus to build the necessary knowledge, understanding, abilities and skills required for further learning towards becoming a competent practicing Civil Engineering Technologist. Specifically, the qualification provides graduates with&%2358;
• Preparation 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;
• The educational base required for registration as a Professional Engineering Technologist with ECSA.
• For graduates with an appropriate level of achievement, the ability to enter NQF level 8 programmes and then proceed to masters degrees.
