Overview
The primary purpose of this vocationally-oriented Diploma in Civil Engineering is to develop focused knowledge and skills as well as experience in a work-related context. The Diploma equips graduates with the knowledge base, theory, skills and methodology in civil engineering as a foundation for further training and experience towards becoming a competent Professional Engineering Technician. This foundation is achieved through a thorough grounding in mathematics and natural sciences specific to the field, engineering sciences, engineering design and the ability to apply established methods to solve well-defined engineering problems. Engineering knowledge is complemented by the understanding of the impacts of engineering solutions on people and the environment.
The qualification design reflects the new standard for engineering technicians as required by the Engineering Council of South Africa (referred to as the ECSA hereafter) based on the new HEQF (ECSA document, E-02-PN revision 5 from 1st of September; Qualification Standard for Diploma in Engineering: NQF Level 6). Professional Engineering Technicians apply established and newly developed engineering technology to solve well-defined problems and develop components, systems, services, and processes.

Important Notes
International Comparability/Recognition
There are three international accords in engineering education from the International Engineering Alliance (IEA) namely:
- Washington accord for BSc type qualifications, (NQF level 8)
- Sydney accord for BET Type qualifications, (NQF level 7)
- Dublin accord for Diploma type of qualifications, (NQF level 6)
South Africa/ECSA is a signatory of all three international accords pertaining to engineering qualifications and the Diploma in Electrical and Electronic Engineering will fall under the Dublin Accord rules. The International Engineering Alliance (IEA) is a global not-for-profit organisation, which comprises members from 41 jurisdictions within 29 countries (Read more on the IEA here)
