Boodskap van die Visekanselier

Umyalezo ovela kuSekela-Ngqonyela

On behalf of the CPUT community I would like to congratulate each member of the graduating class of 2015.

Today we honour your success and acknowledge the hard work and sacrifices that you made to reach this milestone in your life. This year we have much to celebrate as your graduation coincides with the institution’s 10th anniversary celebrations. Over the past decade we have seen thousands of students graduate, made history by launching Africa’s first nanosatellite, rolled out new and exciting

qualifications, revamped our campuses and operations and filed a number of patents. We have so much to be proud of and are grateful that you have been part of this important journey. As you stand on the brink of entering the next journey of your life, I want to encourage each of you to make the most of your qualification and to continue to develop and apply in your working lives the integrity, curiosity and creativity with which you approached your studies. I also urge you to never forget where you came from and to give back to your community. Share the ideals, competencies and a

commitment to serving the common good, which have been integral to your education at the University.

I would like to thank the University staff, parents, family and friends, for assisting each one of you on your journey during these defining years. Their contribution is celebrated as well. Lastly, always remember that the University is your alma mater. Continue to do us proud. It is our wish to maintain a lifelong relationship with each one of you.

Congratulations. We are proud to welcome you to our alumni community.

Ek wil graag namens die CPUT-gemeenskap elke lid van die klas wat in 2015 graad kry van harte gelukwens.

Ons bring vandag eer aan julle sukses en erken julle harde werk en die opofferings wat julle gemaak het om hierdie mylpaal in julle lewens te bereik. Ons het hierdie jaar baie om te vier, aangesien julle graduering met die instelling se tiende verjaardagvierings saamval. Ons het die afgelope dekade duisende studente sien graad vang, geskiedenis gemaak deur Afrika se eerste nanosatelliet te loods, nuwe en opwindende kwalifikasies bekend

gestel, ons kampusse en bedrywighede opgeknap en ’n aantal patente ingedien. Ons het baie om op trots te wees, en is dankbaar dat julle deel van hierdie belangrike reis was. Waar julle nou op die punt staan om die volgende fase in julle lewens te betree, wil ek elkeen van julle aanmoedig om die meeste te maak van julle kwalifikasie en aan te hou om die integriteit, nuuskierigheid en kreatiwiteit waarmee julle julle studies aangepak het in julle werk te ontwikkel en toe te pas. Moet nooit vergeet waar julle vandaan kom nie en gee iets aan julle gemeenskap terug. Deel die ideale, bekwaamhede en toewyding

tot voordeel van almal – soos dit ’n integrale deel van julle opvoeding aan die Universiteit was.

Ek wil graag die Universiteitspersoneel, ouers, familie en vriende bedank dat hulle elkeen van julle op julle pad deur hierdie vormingsjare bygestaan het. Hulle bydrae word ook gevier. Laastens, onthou altyd dat die Universiteit julle alma mater is. Hou aan om ons trots te maak op julle. Ons wil graag ’n lewenslange verhouding met elkeen van julle hê.

Veels geluk. Ons is trots daarop om julle in ons alumnigemeenskap te verwelkom.

DOCTOR TECHNOLOGIAE: HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

SUPERVISORS:Prof Charles Allen-lle, Prof Chux Gervase Iwu

Nnenna Eme Ukandu grew up in

Umuahia in Abia State of Nigeria.

She obtained her Bachelor degree in

Agricultural Science at the University

of Calabar, in Cross River State,

Nigeria in 1995, and graduated

with an Honours Degree in Animal

Science in 2000. She later obtained

a Postgraduate Diploma in Business

Management while working with Abia

State Electoral Commission as an

Administrative Officer, recruiting and

training ad hoc workers.

On arrival in South Africa in 2006,

she registered for MTech in Business

Management after which she enrolled

for her Doctoral studies in Human

Resource Management while she

provided lectures on a part-time basis

at the Certified Institute of Bookkeepers

and Accountants.

The subject of Ukandu’s DTech thesis

is a comparative assessment of the

utilisation of electronic human resource

management systems as a decision-

making tool by selected South African

and Nigerian Universities. Utilising

the mixed method, and examining

six universities – three in South Africa

and another three in Nigeria. Ukandu

found, among others, that two reasons

account for universities’ inability to

fully adopt the E-HRM. These include

insufficient IT workforce, and support

infrastructure. Electronic human

resource management system is a

system that is used by the human

resource practitioners to automate

their work functions and improve

work efficiency. A key result of her

doctoral work is a model for proper

implementation and utilisation of E-HRM

as a decision-making tool for human

resource management functions at

universities.

There is no doubt that practitioners and

scholars will benefit from the model.

Ukandu has shared some of the

findings in the doctoral study with

several audiences at international

conferences. She currently has six

publications in peer-reviewed journals.

SUPERVISORS:Prof Chris Winberg

TITLE: EDUCATING FOR EMPLOYABILITY IN OFFICE ENVIRONMENTS

Shairn Hollis-Turner was born in

Cape Town and spent ten years

in the business sector prior to

taking up the position of Head of

Department of Business Studies

at an FET college in Guguletu.

She currently holds the position

of head of research for the Office

Management and Technology

Department and is an academic

in the Faculty of Business and

Management Sciences at CPUT.

She is a researcher in the Work-

integrated Learning Unit at Cape

Peninsula University of Technology

and has collaborated on a number

of research projects around the

convergence of curriculum with

workplace needs, using a social

realist theoretical framework known as

‘Legitimation Code Theory’.

Her workplace and twenty-one years of

lecturing experience in higher education

has inspired her research focus into

curriculum development and the

challenges facing the higher education

system to meet the demands of the

dynamic workplace.

The purpose of this study was to

investigate the contribution of higher

education to the work readiness of

graduates within a diploma curriculum

at a University of Technology. This

thesis argues that employability is

enhanced by the programme and its

content.

Diversity and transformation demands

on higher education require that all

Universities of Technology revisit

and redesign their qualifications

and curricula in order to meet the

challenges facing the higher education

system in the 21st century. The study

focused on the knowledge bases

of the current and new Diplomas in

Office Management curricula, and how

these were aligned with the broader

aim of enhancing the employability of

graduates. The theoretical framework

draws on three dimensions of Maton’s

(2000) Legitimation Code Theory. These

dimensions are Autonomy, Semantics

and Specialisation, which allow for the

analysis of the Office Management

curriculum to enable the researcher

to develop an understanding of the

professional knowledge bases of the

curriculum.

The use of Legitimation Code Theory

determined the multi-method approach

used to include the views of graduates,

employers and academics, who were

able to bring their own experiences,

expectations, concerns and

perspectives into the research process.

The methods of data collection included

Delphi surveys, documentary data from

minutes of DACUM and curriculum

workshops, curricular documents and

course material, third-year student

and alumni surveys, and interview

documentation with academics from

international and local institutions.

The analysis of data utilising the

dimensions of the Legitimation Code

Theory established that the emphasis

is on the practical and contextual

components of the Office Management

curriculum, and that the knowledge

base of office management work

is that of professional service and

support. The findings of this research

have contributed to the recurriculation

process of the new Diploma in Office

Management. It has provided an

understanding of the knowledge base

of the Office Management curriculum

and guidelines for the curricular

arrangement for the training and

education of office administrators.

Universities of Technology will therefore

gain a better understanding of what

constitutes powerful professional

knowledge in the Office Management

curricula to support the employability

of graduates for the mutual benefit of

students and potential employers. The

thesis advances a corrective to the lack

of seriousness with which the work of

office administrators has been taken in

the past, and aims to raise the level of

debate and research into this field of

practice.

SUBETHRA PATHERMEd


SUPERVISORS:Prof Rajendra Chetty

TITLE: PRE-ENTRY ACADEMIC AND NON-ACADEMIC FACTORS INFLUENCING TEACHER EDUCATION STUDENTS’ FIRST-YEAR EXPERIENCE AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

Subethra Pather is an academic

development coordinator and lecturer

in the Faculty of Education at CPUT.

Her research focus includes teacher

education, student support and the

first-year experience. The uniqueness

of this study is the foregrounding of

the voices of students with regard to

their first-year university experience.

The purpose of the investigation was

to address the challenges of high

student dropout, low throughput,

and poor graduation rates in higher

education.

The focus of the study was influenced

by the candidate’s own experiences

in higher education. Pather was born

in Durban, she is a first-generation

university student and grew up within

an extended family environment.

Her habitus was parallel to those of

the participants in the study and it

provided a deeper reflective engagment

with how limited social and cultural

capital created challenges in the

transitioning from school to university. A

paradigmatic approach to the students’

life narratives was taken to capture

not only the specific, personal, and

highly contextualised elements of their

individual stories, but also to determine

associations, draw cause-and-effect

relationships, and test and validate the

research assumptions.

The study was designed within the

qualitative research paradigm and

employed a case study strategy to

collect both quantitative and qualitative

data. The quantitative approach included

a questionnaire and qualitative data was

obtained from one-on-one and focus-

group interviews with eight purposively

selected participants. The conceptual

framework developed for this enquiry

considered the significance of student

diversity in understanding first-year

experience and employed concepts from

two sociological models, Tinto’s (1975;

1993) integration model (social and

academic integration) and Bourdieu’s

(1984; 1990) theoretical tools of capital,

habitus and field. Six key themes

emerged from the data: determination,

self-reliance, fitting-in, out-of-habitus

experience, positioning oneself to

succeed, and challenges.

The unequal distribution of economic,

social and cultural capital created

disparities between students’ habitus

and schooling experiences which

influenced the way they integrated into

their first year at university. The study

revealed that more mature students

than school-leavers and gap-students

are entering higher education. Further,

the majority of first-year students are

unable to fund their studies and source

external funding or engage in part-time

employment. Students pursued financial

aid before focusing on academic

activities. Engagement in the social

domain remained marginal. Students’

determination to change their economic

circumstances was the primary factor

that influenced their attitudes and

actions at university.

Higher education needs to consider

student diversity, financial constraints

of disadvantaged students, first-year

curriculum planning and delivery, and

the high cost of university studies. A

paradigm shift from viewing students

within a deficit model is recommended.

More appropriately, universities should

capitalise on the students’ qualities of

determination, optimism, enthusiasm

and openness to learning, thereby

creating an inclusive first-year experience

that could enhance retention and

SUPERVISORS:Prof Tunde V Ojumu; Prof Seteno KO Ntwampe

TITLE: BIODEGRADATION OF POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBON CONTAMINANTS IN A MIXED CULTURE BIOREACTOR

DOCTOR TECHNOLOGIAE: CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

Olusola Solomon Amodu was born

and raised in Ikaram-Akoko, Ondo

State, South-West Nigeria, where

he completed his primary and

secondary education. He proceeded

to study Chemical Engineering

at the Ahmadu Bello University,

Nigeria, where he completed a BEng

degree in Chemical Engineering in

2003, and an MSc degree in 2007,

also in Chemical Engineering, from

the University of Lagos, Nigeria.

He immediately joined the service

of Lagos State Polytechnic as a

lecturer, where he worked for four

years before the commencement of

his Doctoral studies in 2012 at CPUT.

The subject of Olusola’s doctoral

research focused on the bioremediation

of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

(PAHs) in silty soil, using biosurfactants

and recoverable magnetic

nanocomposite zeolites. Although,

the research problem was based

on a widely studied and persistent

problem of environmental pollution

by hydrophobic organic pollutants,

Olusola’s research focused on cost

effective measures which can be

applied in-situ.

The results from the research showed

that:

1) biosurfactants can be exclusively

produced using novel isolates and

Beta vulgaris agrowaste without

supplementation with refined nutrient

sources,

2) such biosurfactants can be used

to formulate stable emulsions of

various hydrophobic contaminants

under ambient conditions for more

than a year,

3) high molecular weight PAHs

can be biodegraded using novel

biocatalysts having biosurfactant

producing capabilities,

4) biosurfactant modified recoverable

magnetic nanocomposite zeolites,

are able to further accelerate PAH

degradation rates in-situ.

Overall, the research generated five

manuscripts, two of which have

been published with three under

consideration for publication, a book

chapter, and three international

conference proceedings. All three

examiners awarded the thesis a

mark averaging more than 80%, with

commendations on the undertaken

experimental programme.

Amodu was awarded a merit doctoral

scholarship for international students by

the Faculty of Engineering during 2014.

He is a professional engineer and a

registered member of many professional

bodies including the Council for the

Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria,

Institute of Chemical Engineers (UK) and

the South African Institution of Chemical

Engineers.

TITLE: MULTILEVEL INVERTERS USING FINITE-SET MODEL PREDICTIVE CURRENT CONTROL FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS APPLICATIONS

DOCTOR TECHNOLOGIAE: ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

Ali Mustafa Almaktoof grew up in

Surman City in Libya. He received

his BSc from Al-Tahady University

in Libya in 2001 and MSc from the

University of Tripoli in Libya in 2008,

all in Electrical Engineering.

After he received his MSc he

worked as a lecturer in Az-Zawiya

University in Libya, where he taught

at undergraduate level in the

Electrical and Electronic Engineering

department. He lectured in Power

System Engineering, Electrical

Machines I & II, Electrical Machines

Laboratory, Power Electronics and

Power System Analysis. He also

supervised some BSc student

projects.

He registered for his Doctoral studies

in 2013 in electrical engineering at

CPUT, in the field of power electronics

technology. His research topic was

“Multilevel inverters using Finite-Set

Model Predictive Current Control

(FSMPCC) for Renewable Energy

Systems applications”, where he

developed new algorithms for

FSMPCC. This strategy allowed for

fast load current control while keeping

the balance of the DC-link capacitor

and flying capacitor voltages intact.

He has successfully reduced the

computational effort which gives rise

to multiple possibilities in multilevel

inverters. The delicate scenario of

balancing the capacitor voltage and

output current reference tracking for

multilevel converters with different

case conditions were achieved

with ease in the outcome of the

research. His research work resulted

in an impressive twenty national/

international conferences and journal

publications, including 2 best paper

awards.

TITLE: A FRAMEWORK FOR INFORMATION COMMUNICATION THAT CONTRIBUTES TO THE IMPROVED MANAGEMENT OF THE INTRAPARTUM PERIOD

DOCTOR TECHNOLOGIAE: INFORMATICS

Doreen Kainyu Mugendi (née Kaura)

grew up in Tharaka Nithi Kenya.

After completing the O levels at

Muthambi girl’s high school with a

B-average, Doreen joined the Kenya

Medical Training College, where she

attained a registered community

health and midwifery diploma.

She pursued a Bachelor’s degree in

nursing science (BNS) at the University

of Botswana where she excelled with

a suma cum laude in 2005. In 2011

she obtained her Masters degree in

Advanced Midwifery and Neonatal

Science from the University of the

Western Cape. She is the head of

midwifery and neonatal nursing at

Stellenbosch University. Doreen

pursued her doctorate with fulltime

employment and running a family in a

record time of three years, from 2012

to 2015.

The subject of her dissertation

is a framework for information

communication that contributes to

the improved management of the

intrapartum period. The development

of the framework was made possible

through the analysis of work activities

within the midwifery obstetric units

(MOU’s) and between the MOUs and

the referral hospitals, using the activity

driven approach as a theoretical

lens. The study revealed that what is

expected to be communicated by the

skilled birth attendants is not what is

actually being communicated.

The contribution of her research is a

multi-disciplinary study of informatics

in the domain of health sciences in a

developing context. Her knowledge

of health informatics contributes to

an area that is undeveloped in South

Africa and considers the use of

technology mediated work practices in

midwifery.

On a practical level her contributions

could assist in improving the

information and communication

practices during the intrapartum

period; her contribution on a

theoretical level is a proposed

information and communication

framework for effective management of

the intrapartum period that she derived

from her thematic analysis as well as

from using activity driven information

systems development model and

activity analysis development as

additional analysis lenses. Her

methodological contribution is the

incorporation of her data collection

from interviews and observations of

work practices in real-life sensitive

situations and analysing these with

different theoretical methods.
