Course Overview
The revised Bachelor of Engineering: Mechanical Engineering builds to a level of conceptual sophistication, specialised knowledge and intellectual autonomy in accordance with requirements at NQF Level 8. This programme demands a high level of theoretical engagement and intellectual independence and aims to foster deepened, comprehensive and systematic expertise in the major subject/cognate areas of learning. Through this programme, students will be equipped with cognitive and intellectual skills, key transferable skills, and professional/technical/practical skills that would enable them to demonstrate in-depth understanding of the principles of mechanical engineering. Students will be capacitated with the knowledge to design and manufacture engineering systems. The programme includes a substantial element of Work Integrated Learning and requires the conduct and reporting of supervised research in order to adequately prepare students for entry into the profession.
The Bachelor of Engineering: Mechanical Engineering is designed to enable the graduates to register as Professional Engineers with the Engineering Council of Namibia (ECN) pending the fulfilment of post qualification requirements. The programme outcomes reflect the required levels of competence as defined by the ECN, while the programme has also been designed to meet accreditation requirements of the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA).
