The qualifications National Diploma (NDip) and Baccalaureus Technologiae (BTech) have been offered by Technikons and since 2006 by Universities of Technology (UoTs). As a result of government drives for a new technology training programme a Bachelor of Engineering Technology (BEngTech) is being introduced. This study of perceptions of change by industry, lecturers and the professional body is meant...
In this paper we present the key learning points from a publicly broadcasted reality TV show produced by the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment at the University of Johannesburg. This reality TV show was based on a preliminary development for the university's entry in the 2012 South African leg of the Solar Challenge. It featured undergraduate and postgraduate engineering students working...
In this paper we analyse the impact of a reality TV show on the participating engineering students through a qualitative case study. The reality TV show depicted an in-house engineering student competition through the constructing of alternative fuel-sourced vehicles for participation in the biannual international Solar Challenge competition. The role of the reality TV camera proved to be instrumental...
In this paper we consider engineering education as a process that has over many years developed a particular ethical and philosophical framework. These ethical and philosophical frameworks are often dormant and unquestioned. During the development of an innovative reality TV mediated engineering design and test project (the Fuelduel1 project) for undergraduate students ethical issues arose that challenged...
