Introduction
The purpose of BEngTech (Industrial Engineering) is to build the necessary knowledge, understanding, abilities, and skills required for further learning towards becoming a competent practicing industrial engineering technologist. Specifically, the qualification provides graduates with:
- Preparation for careers in engineering itself and areas that potentially benefit from engineering skills, for achieving technological proficiency and making a contribution to the economy and national development;
- The educational base required for registration as a Professional Engineering Technologist with ECSA.
- For graduates with an appropriate level of achievement, the ability to enter NQF level 8 programs and then proceed to Master’s degrees.
- For certificated engineers, the education base for achieving proficiency in industrial engineering/plant operations and occupational health and safety.

Program Outcome
The exit level outcomes as informed by ECSA are that students who complete this program will be able to:
- Systematically diagnose and solve broadly-defined industrial engineering problems by applying engineering principles;
- Apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science, and engineering sciences to define and applied engineering procedures, processes, systems, and methodologies to solve broadly-defined industrial engineering problems;
- Perform procedural and nonprocedural design of broadly defined components, systems, works, products or processes to meet desired needs normally within applicable standards, codes of practice, and legislation in industrial engineering;
- Conduct investigations of broadly-defined problems; locate, search and select relevant data from codes, databases, and literature, design and conduct experiments, analyze and interpret results to provide valid conclusions;
- Use appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering tools, including information technology, prediction, and modeling, for the solution of broadly-defined industrial engineering problems with an understanding of the limitations, restrictions, premises, assumptions, and constraints;
- Communicate effectively, both orally and in writing, with engineering audiences and the affected parties;
