The student will simultaneously register for EIEXL1A, EIEXL2A and EIPRJ4A, which are the threecomponents of the workplace-based learning. The registration, completion and submission of reports must be done according to the guidelines onpage 3. An accredited assessor, appointed by industry, will do the assessment of each relevant topic. Thisassessor must have a qualification that is equal to or higher than the qualification being assessed. The student must do the training under the supervision of a mentor, which could also be the assessorif the mentor has the necessary qualifications. A VUT accredited staff member will act as examiner. The assessor must complete the training schedule report (pages 4 to 5), the assessor’s declaration(page 8), as well as the assessment report (page 9 to16). If the mentor or assessor needs any assistance feel free to contact the Process Control Coordinatorat VUT. (see top of page) To fulfil the requirements of the Diploma: Electrical Engineering: Process Control, the student mustsuccessfully complete all academic requirements, as well as the three Workplace Based Learningcomponents. Topics that are not included in the list of topics in this document, but are required by the trainingcompany should be added using the blank topic 8 on page 16. Add as many topics as necessary byjust copying the blank topic 8 on page 16. Graduate attributes: GA11must be covered in this module as part of the requirements of theEngineering Counsel of South Africa (ECSA). The Process Control Engineering syllabus (pages 18 to20) contain a detailed explanation of the GA’s. The assessor must also indicate on the topic assessment form, which of the graduate attribute (GA’s)are attained in each topic. The requirement is that GA 11 must be covered in this module.2
REGISTRATION AND REPORT SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONSRegistration of Workplace Based Learning (WBL)Registration procedure: Registration for the following WBL modules EIEXL1A, EIEXL2A and EIPRJ4A must be donesimultaneously. This first module EIEXC1A carries a credit value of 14 with a minimum time requirement of 420 hours(approx. 11 weeks).Workplace Based Learning (WBL) ReportsPreparation and submission procedure: The training schedule report (pages 4 to 6), must be completed and emailed to the VUT ProcessControl coordinator (Mr. PJ Mitton) as soon as possible after this module of WBL commences. After completion of each topic, the topic must be assessed and signed (page 8 to 16). After completing this module of WBL the assessor must complete the assessor’s declaration (page 8). The final report for this module must be submitted by post or in person to the Cooperative EducationOffice ( Room N100) at VUT. During Covid we can make use of email to coordinator3
TRAINING SCHEDULE REPORTEIEXL1A (420 HOURS)Procedure to complete and submit the training schedule: Within 14 days after WBL commenced the training schedule report (pages 4 to 6) must beemailed to the relevant VUT WBL coordinator. (Mr PJ Mitton, email address;koosm@vut.ac.za). Complete pages 5 and 6. The report must be signed by the mentor and the student (page 6). Only the topics that are offer by the company in accordance with their main business must be done. Ifthere are other topics not mentioned in the document it should be added. Topic 8 on page16 is a blanktopic and should be used for the additional topics.4

1. Syllabus Contenta)Learning content must include company policies, procedures, safety, and professional requirements.b) Specific learning content is determined by the Employer. The following represents typical fields oflearning content: Basic Hand Skills, Process control components and instrumentation, Test equipment,Systems and Processesc)As an NQF level 5 module these fields would typically include: procedures for maintenance of processcontrol instruments and equipment, and the application and use of test equipment.d) An additional area in which work-place-based learning is recommended is in the aspects of specializedprocess control systems.2. Learning OutcomesIt is a compulsory requirement of this course that the student should be able to: Understand the policy and mission of the company as laid down in the orientation programunderstanding of occupational safety and other legislative requirements for the practise of a learnertechnician/student.demonstrate an understanding of safety issues and application of the Occupational Health and Safetyregulations.Understanding of fire and safety practice.Understanding and knowledge of different ISO standards and industry requirements to comply withthese standards.understanding and knowledge of the permit system.Demonstrate the ability to use the different kinds of engineering power toolsDemonstrate the ability the use of test equipment.Demonstrate the ability the use different type of field instrumentation as used in industrial plants andenvironmentsDemonstrate the ability to install and remove field equipment to do calibrationsunderstanding of the use of typical process plant equipment in a plant environment where differentcontrol systems, safety systems and other control systems connected to different types of fielddevices3. References -4. Graduate AttributesGraduate Attribute 11: Workplace practicesDemonstrate an understanding of workplace practices to solve engineering problems consistentwith academic learning achieved.19
Note: The purpose of work-integrated learning is to enable the learner to connect academic learningwith workplace practice.Range Statement: Tasks to demonstrate this outcome may be performed in one or more of thefollowing curriculum types:1. Work-directed theoretical learning: in which theoretical forms of knowledge are introducedand sequences in ways that meet both academic criteria and are applicable and relevant tothe career-specific components.2. Problem-based learning: where students work in small self-directed groups to define, carryout and reflect on a task which is usually a real-life problem.3. Project-based learning: that brings together intellectual enquiry, real world problems andstudent engagement in meaningful work.4. Workplace learning: where students are placed in a professional practice or simulatedenvironment within a training programmed.5. Simulated learning.5. Graduate attributes assessmentGraduate Attribute 11: Workplace practicesDemonstrate an understanding of workplace practices to solve engineering problems consistent withacademic learning achieved.Where is outcome assessed?How is this outcome assessed?What is satisfactory performance?What is the consequence ofunsatisfactory performance?In the workplace.Students are required to produce a report that is verified by amentor illustrating the ability to apply appropriate theoreticalknowledge and understanding to the systems and environmentin which the work-place-based learning takes place.The report must provide adequate evidence that the studenthas participated and demonstrated the ability to applytheoretical knowledge to perform maintenance andadministration on process instruments and control systems.Work must be repeated until the appropriate application oftheoretical knowledge can be demonstrated.6.
