Manufacturing, Engineering and Technology - Engineering and Related Design
The specific purpose of the Advanced Diploma in Chemical Engineering is designed to build the necessary knowledge, understanding, abilities and skills required for further learning towards becoming a competent practicing Professional Engineering Technologist. The qualification design is aligned to the Standard for Engineering Technologists as required by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA). Therefore, learners will have the ability to apply established and newly developed engineering technology to solve broadly-defined problems, develop components, systems, services and processes. They will be able to provide leadership in the application of technology in safety, health, engineering and commercially effective operations and have well-developed interpersonal skills. They will also have the ability to work independently and responsibly, applying judgment to decisions arising in the application of technology and health and safety considerations to problems and associated risks. Therefore, Professional Engineering Technologists learners will have a specialised understanding of the engineering science that underpins specific technologies together with financial, commercial, legal, social and economic, health, safety and environmental matters. The qualification serves to provide learners with knowledge in chemical engineering. The knowledge emphasises chemical engineering principles and application. Also the qualification provides learners with an in-depth knowledge base in a particular field or discipline and the ability to apply their knowledge and skills to a particular career or professional contexts, while equipping them to undertake more specialised and intensive learning.
This qualification is designed to meet the educational requirement towards registration as a Candidate or Professional Engineering Technologist in the chemical engineering field, with the Engineering Council of South Africa. Engineering learners completing this qualification will demonstrate competence in all ten graduate attributes contained in ECSA generic document E-05-PT rev.3, 24th of March 2016: Qualification Standard for Advanced Diploma in Engineering : NQF Level 7. The Advanced Diploma in Chemical Engineering is part of a group of qualifications in Engineering Technology focused on de-colonialisation and curriculum transformation. This qualification provides aspiring chemical Candidate or Professional Engineering Technologists with knowledge to operate and improve chemical engineering processes in an efficient, safe and profitable way. The qualification addresses objectives of the NQF by providing the technologist with a qualification at NQF Level 7. This qualification:
