Enrolment for any course shall additionally be subject to attainment of necessary prerequisites. C. Promotionregulations:ContinuousandDiversifiedAssessmentwithoutafinalexamination

    C.1 Courses that are assessed by continuous assessment only with no final examination, will present a minimum of six (6) assessment opportunities in a semester, the results of each of which will be utilised to calculate the final mark for the course in a ratio as published in the course outline for each such course. The ratio is determined by the principle course lecturer in liaison with the head of the department in which the course is resident.

    The assessments may include examinations, laboratory practicals in conjunction with laboratory reports and associated tests, computer simulation , design or other types of assignment reports and associated tests, tutorials in conjunction with assessed tutorial scripts, as well as other types of suitable assessments that the principle course lecturer may from time to time identify in liaison with the head of the department in which the course resides.

    The requirement of four (4) assessments excludes the final year project courses whose assessment shall be determined by the Head of the Department in which the course resides in liaison with the Dean of the relevant faculty. The procedure for the calculation of the final mark for such courses shall be as described in the course outline.

    Exceptions to the stated minimum number of assessments for any particular course or the general application of this rule to such course must be approved by Senate before that course is presented in the mode for which approval is sought.

  • Faculty of Engineering - Yearbook 2020

    [ 12 ]

    C.2 With the exception of final year project courses, at least fifty percent (50 %) of the final mark of the courses described in C.1 will be made up of assessments that are conducted under controlled conditions similar to those under which institutional examinations are conducted. Such assessments are hereinafter referred to as the examination component of the course. The actual weight (≥ 50 %) of the examination component of the course to the final mark is as determined by the principal course lecturer in liaison with the head of the department in which the course resides and is as published in the course outline.

    No student who obtains a mark of less than 50 % for the examination component of the final mark passes the course. The examination component covers the entire course syllabus and each individual assessment in this component covers approximately equal portions of the syllabus.

    C.3 A student who misses one or more assessment(s) of the examination component of the course (i.e. an assessment as defined in C.2), or who fails one - or more such assessment(s), will be given the opportunity to improve their results for all but one (1) such failed - or missed assessments by writing relevant sections (2) of a single supplementary examination that is set on the whole syllabus of the course and that covers the different portions of the work on an equitable basis as determined by the principal course lecturer in liaison with the head of the department in which the course resides.

    If only one such assessment is scheduled in a course, every student who fails - or misses the assessment is entitled to write the supplementary examination that will in this case consist of only one section.

    The marks obtained by the student for the relevant sections of such supplementary examination will replace the results he/she obtained in the corresponding missed - or failed examination(s). The maximum final mark allocated for the examination component of the course (i.e. the aggregated mark of all assessments as defined in C.2), will be 50%, except for the students registered in the InSTEM programme. These students will be allocated the calculated final mark and not the adjusted final mark after writing the supplementary exam. .

    The supplementary examination will be conducted during the scheduled contact hours for the course during the regular institutional examination period towards the end of the semester, in the same week as the last scheduled regular examination.

    The results previously obtained by a student who misses the supplementary examination are retained in the calculation of the final mark for that student.

    A student who writes only certain portions of the supplementary examination will be required to hand in the answer script and leave the examination venue after the lapse of a time period that is commensurate with the time allocated for the completion of the relevant portion(s).

    C.4 No supplementary opportunity will be granted for failed laboratory practical reports and/or failed - or missed associated tests. A student is awarded a mark of zero for a practical report that is submitted later than the deadline for submission of such report as published in the course outline.

    No student who misses a laboratory practical is allowed to submit a report for the missed practical, either individually or as part of a group.

    A student who misses a laboratory practical has to apply in writing to the head of department in which the course resides to obtain permission for the missed practical to be undertaken at a later stage. Depending on the unique circumstances described in the application and the additional resources required for the particular practical to be repeated and assessed, the request may either be approved or denied. If it is denied, the student is awarded a mark of zero for the missed practical.

    The results of tests of student knowledge related to laboratory practical’s and/or assignments are employed in the calculation of the mark for the student for the particular practical. The contribution of the marks obtained in such tests to the mark obtained for the practical as a whole is as determined by the principle course lecturer in liaison with the head of the department in which the course is resident and is as published in the course outline.

    A student who misses a laboratory practical is not allowed to take the tests that pertain to the missed practical. A student fails the practical if he/she obtains a mark of less than 50 % for that practical. A student fails the course if he/she

    obtains a fail mark in more than the total number of scheduled practicals but one. This rule is waived if only one practical is scheduled in the course.

    C.5 No supplementary opportunity will be granted for failed assignment reports and/or failed - or missed associated tests. A student is awarded a mark of zero for an assignment report that is submitted later than the deadline for submission of such report as published in the course outline.

    The results of tests of student knowledge related to assignments are employed in the calculation of the mark for the student for the particular assignment. The contribution of the marks obtained in such tests to the mark obtained for the assignment as a whole is as determined by the principle course lecturer in liaison with the head of the department in which the course is resident and is as published in the course outline.

  • Faculty of Engineering - Yearbook 2020

    [ 13 ][ 12 ]

    A student who misses the deadline for submission of an assignment report is not allowed to take the tests that pertain to the assignment.

    A student fails the assignment if he/she obtains a mark of less than 50 % for that assignment. A student fails the course if he/she obtains a fail mark in more than the total number of scheduled assignments but one. This rule is waived if only one assignment is scheduled in the course.

    C.6 No supplementary opportunity will be granted for missed - or failed assessed tutorials. A student who misses an assessed tutorial will be requested to hand in a tutorial script at the end of a subsequent tutorial session and the mark obtained for such tutorial script will be deemed to be the mark obtained for the missed tutorial opportunity. A student of whom the attendance rate for tutorials does not allow the required number of tutorial scripts to be handed in, will receive a mark of zero for tutorial scripts not handed in immediately after the end of the tutorial sessions in which these were requested.

    C.7 No reason needs to be provided for missed assessment opportunities except in the case of a missed laboratory practical for which the application described in C.4 is required.

    C.8 Opportunities for the improvement of marks obtained for a failed final year project report exist and are as described in paragraph AC4.4 of the Yearbook (Part 1: General Information and Regulations).

  • Faculty of Engineering - Yearbook 2020

    [ 18 ]

    Students are required to do compulsory component of Work Integrated Learning (WIL) as detailed in the syllabus. The Bachelor of Technology in Civil Engineering has one major subject/cognate area of learning that are developed in increasing complexity across relevant NQF levels in accordance with NQF principles as follows:

    Teachingand/Learningstrategies:The requirements of the NQF underline the acquisition of cognitive skills and competencies exceeding the knowledge and understanding of subject-specific knowledge items, professional and technical competencies. Thus, the qualification focuses on the engagement of students in an interactive learning process to provide for the development of generic cognitive and intellectual skills, key transferable skills, subject-specific and/or professional/technical practical skills. This learning process will be facilitated both in and outside the classroom where specific tasks will be carried out by students. This facilitation will make use of a variety of appropriate methods, including, lectures, practical classes, workshops and seminars, site visits and Work Integrated Learning/ In-service practical training. The progress of learning embedded in such tasks will be monitored, recorded and assessed.

    Assessmentstrategies:Assessment for all cognate area courses will be done in accordance with NUST policy for diversified Continuous Assessment. Each course will have a minimum of four (4) assessment events of which at least two (2) assessments will be written under conditions comparable to those of normal examination. Learning and assessment will be integrated throughout the programme. Diversified Continuous Assessment strategies are applied to ensure that students are adequately and comprehensively assessed. Assessment strategy for the programme include individual written assessments, assignments, group presentations, tests, case studies and projects. However, the assessment will be varied depending on the learning outcomes and on the syllabus descriptions for the different courses.

    QualityAssurancerequirements:The teaching and learning processes are monitored through an effective quality assurance process that supports continuous improvement. Each course will have one examiner and one moderator. Identified moderators can be either internal (full-time staff members of the University) or external (from partner Universities or from local industry). The required minimum qualification of the moderator will be at least a master’s degree in engineering and moderator of a course must be a knowledgeable individual that is an expert in sub-discipline that course falls. The assessments will be set and marked by the examiners. The examinations memoranda will then be forwarded to the course moderators for moderation.

    TransitionArrangementsThe Bachelor of Technology in Civil Engineering: Water/Urban (old curriculum) will be phased out systematically until 2025. The last intake of 1st year students for the Bachelor of Technology in Civil Engineering: Water/Urban out-phasing programme was in January 2019. The first intake of the revised Bachelor of Technology in Civil Engineering will be in 2020.

    Students who were registered in 2019 for the 1st year of the out-phasing programme (old curriculum), and who do not meet the rules of the Faculty of Engineering for progression to the 2nd year at the end of 2019, will be required to change their registration to the revised programme (new curriculum), and will be granted credits on a course-by-course basis in accordance with information in Table15.1, below.

    Students who were registered in 2019 for the 2nd and 3rd year of the out-phasing programme (old curriculum), and who meet the minimum requirements to progress to the 3rd and 4th year of the programme in 2020, will also be required to complete their studies based on the requirements of the old curriculum. Similarly, students who were registered in 2019 for the 4th (final) year of the out-phasing programme will also be required to complete the programme based on the requirements of the old curriculum.

    TransitionArrangementsThe Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering (2008 curriculum) was phased out systematically in 2018 with minimum disruption to existing students’ learning progression. The last intake of 1st year students for the out-phasing programme (old curriculum) was in January 2012.

    Students who were registered in 2012 for the 1st year of the out-phasing programme (2008 curriculum), and who do not meet the rules of the Faculty of Engineering for progression to the 2nd year at the end of 2012, will be required to change their registration to the revised programme (new curriculum), and will be granted credits on a course-by-course basis in accordance with information in Table 1, below. Students who were registered in 2012 for the 1st year of the out-phasing programme (old curriculum), and who meet the minimum requirements for progression to the 2nd year at the end of 2012, will also be required to transition to the revised programme (new curriculum), and will be granted credits on a course-by-course basis in accordance with information in Table 1, below. However, students who were registered in 2012 for the 2nd year of the out-phasing programme (old curriculum), and who did not meet the minimum requirements at the end of 2012 to progress to the third year in 2013, will be required to repeat the 2nd year, and to subsequently complete their studies, based on the requirements of the out-phasing programme (old curriculum). Students in this category would have the option to transition to the revised programme (new curriculum).

    Students who were registered in 2012 for the 2nd and 3rd year of the out-phasing programme (old curriculum), and who meet the minimum requirements to progress to the 3rd and 4th year of the programme in 2013, will be required to complete their studies based on the requirements of the old curriculum.

    Students who were registered in 2012 for the 4th (final) year of the out-phasing programme will be required to complete the programme based on the requirements of the old curriculum.

    The revised Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering (new curriculum) takes effect from January 2013 with concurrent implementation of the 1st and 2nd years. The revised programme (new curriculum) will be fully implemented by 2015. Courses will only be offered based on the new/revised syllabi in 2013 (1st and 2nd year), 2014 (3rd year), and 2015 (4th year). Students who fail any of the courses on the old curriculum will be required to repeat such courses based on the syllabi of new/revised corresponding courses (please refer to Table 2, below, for information on the new/revised corresponding courses to be done, if courses on the old curriculum are failed).

    The deadline for complete phasing out of the Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering (old curriculum) is 2018 after which students must automatically change registration to the revised programme (new curriculum) and fulfil all requirements of the new curriculum.
