The purpose of the Bachelor's in Engineering qualification is to build the necessary knowledge, understanding, abilities and skills required for becoming a competent practicing engineer, including the potential for achieving technical leadership and making a contribution to the economy and national development. A South African accredited bachelor’s degree in engineering is one which satisfies the criteria stipulated by the relevant standard as produced by the Engineering Standards Generating Body (ESGB) on behalf of the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA), a signatory to the three engineering accords.
Professional engineering education includes a thorough grounding in mathematics, natural sciences, engineering sciences, engineering modelling, engineering design and the ability to enable applications in fields of emerging knowledge together with an appreciation for the world and society in which engineering is practiced. [ECSA BEng Standard 2020]
The new standard, released in 2023, has a specific focus on developing more well-rounded graduates who can work in diverse, multidisciplinary teams, and are able to address complex global challenges, such as the Sustainable Development Goals: https://sdgs.un.org/goals
Based on PhD and PD research into engineering problem solving in industry, the following video showcases the complexity of real world engineering practice where mathematics, physics and logic-based understanding converge in solving a production line problem. A number of educational concepts and tools are used to understand this complexity.
