Engineering a better world
This article has been supplied.
Do you thrive on solving problems? Do you have solid mathematics and science skills? Are you passionate about planning, designing and making a positive difference in the world? If your answer is yes, then why not consider the IIE Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering degree (BECE)?
As infrastructure ages and deteriorates, the demand for civil engineers has increased over the years. There is a notable shortage of skilled civil engineers in South Africa. Said Neil Manson (Head of School – Engineering, IIE MSA) ‘South Africa suffers from two additional problems that are increasing the demand for all branches of engineers. We are still seeing quite a large fraction engineers trained in South Africa emigrating to other parts of the world, as our engineering education is well respected throughout the world, a large fraction of our engineers are older and will be retiring within the next decade. We urgently need young people to study Civil Engineering and join the ranks of professional engineers in the country.’
The IIE’s Varsity College will provide students with personal support, knowledge and practical skills to build a successful career in the engineering industry through an education by design. The BECE degree is an integrated curriculum planned, designed and structured by top engineers. Endorsed by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA), the degree will equip graduates with a solid scientific foundation in modern civil engineering design and the skills to create physical and social environments for the 21st Century. Based on contemporary sustainability theory, the degree will introduce students to issues like the fundamental mathematical and physical sciences in theory and practice, the application of engineering sciences to civil engineering projects and key expertise in geotechnical, hydraulic, structural and transportation engineering. This is a degree for people who want to build a better world.
IIE BECE graduates will also have valuable and sought-after knowledge, skills and attributes that will, undoubtedly, enable them to work and excel in multi-disciplinary projects and easily expand into other industries.
The Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering degree will be offered on two of the IIE’s Varsity College campuses - Westville Durban the Cape Town. This professional degree is registered by the South African Qualifications Authority SAQA (ID No.118321) at NQF level 8, accredited by the Council on Higher Education (CHE), endorsed by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA), and is conferred by The Independent Institute of Education (Pty) Ltd (The IIE).
The IIE’s Varsity College will be hosting an Info Qual night for the BECE degree on the 18th of August at 6pm on its Westville Durban campus and Cape Town campuses. Prospective students and their parents are invited to attend the event to gain useful information about admission requirements and the degree and to meet the lecturers and Campus Heads.
