Purpose statement
Chemical engineering is concerned with the manufacturing of chemicals on an industrial scale as well as with the industrial processes that convert raw materials
into products that have higher economic value. in a particular manufacturing environment, there is usually a chemical engineering team. This team is usually led by
a degreed Chemical Engineer, usually assisted by a Chemical Engineering Technologist or a Chemical Engineering Technician. They all obtain their qualifications
from a university of technology or a university. the technologist has obtained a BTech degree and the technician a National Diploma. the team is qualified to research,
develop, design, construct and operate the plants required to make any processed product. A qualified person with sufficient experience will be able to register with
the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) as a Professional Technician in this field of Engineering.

and then pay the costs involved.
Both the theoretical and the practical component of the subject must be passed before credit for the subject can be obtained.
the practical component must be done simultaneously or after the theoretical component.
Modules can be completed concurrently or in different years. Access to a personal computer is compulsory for the Practical. All study materials and examination

Engineering qualifications are considered but subject to SAQA evaluation and departmental approval.
Purpose statement
Chemical engineering is concerned with the manufacturing of chemicals on an industrial scale as well as with the industrial processes that convert raw materials
into products that have higher economic value. in a particular manufacturing environment, there is usually a chemical engineering team. This team is usually led by
a degreed Chemical Engineer, usually assisted by a Chemical Engineering Technologist or a Chemical Engineering Technician. They all obtain their qualifications
from a university of technology or a university. the technologist has obtained a BTech degree and the technician a National Diploma. the team is qualified to research,
develop, design, construct and operate the plants required to make any processed product. A qualified person with sufficient experience will be able to register with
the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) as a Professional Technologist in this field of Engineering

Honours modules in Information Systems assume that students have experience in programming. If you lack programming experience, we highly recommend that
you register for either INF1511 and/or (COS1511 and COS1512) for non-degree purposes. Access to the Internet is a requirement for students registering for an Honours
degree in Business Informatics. Access to the Internet can be cost-effectively obtained through Internet Cafes if a student does not have access to the Internet at
work or at home.
