Department of Mechanical Engineering Doc ID.: RPL

Recognition for Prior Learning and Articulation Rev.: 1

SCOPE

This document outlines collaboration in technical training. This collaboration alsoaddresses an essential career path need within Industry by not excluding candidateswith potential from careers in Mechanical Engineering. It essentially addresses mobilityand recognition of units of learning completed at ex Technical Colleges, University andother accredited Institutions of learning as well as Experiential Learning undertaken inIndustry. Essentially, this procedure addresses the following three typical scenariosexperienced by the Department:

1. Recognition of formal subjects or units of learning completed at other Institutions.2. Admission to post-graduate programs.3. Recognition of Experiential Learning undertaken in the work place.

METHODOLOGY APPLIED TO RPL

There are accepted methodologies that may be used to determine the extent ofexperience and level of competence of a candidate, and these may be summarized asfollows:

Methodology Description

1 Developing a Portfolio

A portfolio is a logically organised record of a candidate’s evidence ofprior learning, and will serve as proof of the candidates expertise. Itshould include evidence of knowledge or skills gained from a widevariety of sources.

2 Challenge examinations

These examinations are the most familiar type of RPL assessmenttool being used. This type of examination is not a course final, but isusually prepared especially for the candidate by the assessor. It is

not based on a particular textbook, nor does it require that acandidate be exposed to a particular instructor at a particular time.The examination should cover a wide body of accepted knowledge orconcepts in the challenged course, spelled out in the course learningoutcomes.

3 Demonstration

Give candidates the chance to show their expertise in carrying outsome activity that proves mastery of a skill. The candidate performsthe skill in the presence of an assessor who uses a set of criteriaagainst which the candidate can be measured.

4 Assignments

Assignments can be given to the candidate after discussion with theassessor and relevant academic staff member. Both parties woulddetermine what proof was required and the best way for thecandidate to demonstrate the required level of knowledge.

5 Interviews Interviews between the assessor and candidate can be used tosupplement any of the above methodologies.

6 Workplace assessment

Assessment of performance in the course of normal work offers themost natural form of evidence of competence. Observing thecandidate at the workplace has several advantages to an employee:• Technically - it directly assesses the candidate’s ability to perform

competently at their work.• Economically - candidates are not removed from their work.

7 Assessment of productsor artefacts

In some instances, the candidate’s activities at the workplace canproduce a physical product and this product/artefact can beassessed. The advantages of evaluation of a product is that it allowsthe candidate to be assessed without being subjected to the stressesof observation by an assessor and it is less time consuming for theassessor than observation

8 Dossier

This form of assessment is a streamlined version of the portfolio. Itconsists of the candidate submitting a curriculum vitae, a plan ofgoals, a description of work experiences, roles, contexts, testimonialsfrom employers and details of professional activities. A joint processof validating the information is then pursued.

Any of the above methods may be selected, but would be obviously negotiated with thecandidate first, but the selection is essentially at the discretion of the Head ofDepartment and the appointed panel that will review the application.





THE NATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS FRAMEWORK

The following table serves to summarize the South African Qualifications Authority

(SAQA) SAQA-NQF and proposed articulation between qualifications at tertiaryinstitutions. Engineering programs fall into the “Career-focused” category column.

NQF level 5 to 7 bands categorize undergraduate and honour’s qualifications, whilelevel 8 postgraduate qualifications.

Current NQF levels for Higher Education

NQFLevel

(Cumulative Credits)and min Credits Notional Hours Qualifications

5 (120) 1 yr120 1200 Certificate

End of FETC Band (Grade 12 or College N3) 4 128 1280 FET Certificate

With the new outcomes based philosophy and structure, articulation can essentially bebased on comparing 4 criteria:

1. The overall specified outcomes of the qualification.2. The specific outcomes for the unit/s of learning.

3. The notional hours.4. The credit value of the unit of learning which is based on “rigour”.

This obviously complicates articulation significantly between programs and the processultimately remains at the discretion of the Head of Departments.

A more simplified guideline is presented in this procedure and is essentially experiencebased.





ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS TO MAINSTREAM PROGRAMMES

Category 1: Candidates from schools wishing to enter the ND or Career-focused First Batchelor’s Degree program

• The candidate must have a Grade 12 certificate or equivalent (to be assessed onits merits and SAQA recommendation).

• The candidate must comply with the minimum entrance criteria as stated in theFaculty Prospectus with regards to Language. English (HG-E or SG-D symbol)and a second official language with the same criteria as for English.

• The Rating System (RS) used for admission to all programmes in the Faculty isgiven in Table A and must be used in conjunction with Table B to determine theWeighted Rating System (WRS).

Table A:

TOTAL

The candidate must also achieve a minimum of 110 points on the weighted systemprovided. Alternatively, if a candidate fails to meet the minimum of 110 points butachieves 80 or more points, they can be admitted to the Foundation Programme.On successful completion of all the modules the candidate may be admitted to themain programme. Details and curricula are available in the Faculty Prospectus.





Category 2: Candidates from schools wishing to enter the Professional B EngBatchelor’s Degree program

Due to the rigour of this programme the admission requirements are obviously higherthan that required for the First Degree programmes:

• The candidate must have a Grade 12 certificate with university exemption orequivalent (to be assessed on its merits and SAQA recommendation).

• The candidate must comply with the minimum entrance criteria as stated in theFaculty Prospectus with regards to Language. English (HG-D symbol) and asecond official language with the same criteria as for English.

the subject content or combination of subjects completed is used as a comparison.Alternatively, an evaluation of the candidates skills may be conducted.

• Only a final mark of 50% and higher will be considered for recognition.• No recognition is granted for any exit level (level III) final year (i.e. S4) subjects,

unless it has been negotiated with the HOD or his delegate prior to registration.Registration of subjects at other Institutions are done at the candidate’s own risk.

Admission to the D Tech: Engineering: Mechanical

•

The candidate must have completed a suitable M Tech Degree or equivalent NQFlevel 8 qualification (to be assessed on its merit).

FOREIGN STUDENTS

The candidate should fall into one of the above categories.

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING

Experiential Learning or Co-operative Education is a program that formally integrates astudent’s academic studies with work experience in participating employerorganisations. It is a compulsory component of the ND and constitutes 1.0 NATEDcredits (essentially 1/3 of the total credits) towards the qualification. MechanicalEngineering Practice (MEP), is a formal subject with outcomes and has to be controlledand managed accordingly.

The experiential Learning consists of two distinct practical components of roughly 24weeks each or a minimum of 800 notional hours per component. The components differin that the first component (MEP1) focuses on developing hand skills by participating inphysical work in an artisan work environment, while MEP2 requires a much higher levelof synthesis, responsibility and accountability as would be expected of a engineeringTechnician. This again, would be done under supervision of a mentor, but facilitatingsome independent work by the student. Detailed guidelines for MEP1 and 2 areprovided separately in the Logbook (document MEP).

• No recognition is given for MEP2.• Candidates who have a formal mechanical trade qualification with sufficient

experience, may apply for recognition and on assessment be credited forMechanical Engineering Practice 1 (MEP1).

• Refer and complete document RPL-P1.
