EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING: NATIONAL DIPLOMA: CIVIL ENGINEERING
1. BACKGROUND
In many fields of study it is considered necessary for students to

complement their academic studies with periods of exposure to and
training in the real-life working conditions pertaining to that field of
endeavour.
This type of learning has variously been called in-service training,

practical learning or experiential training and this format generally
goes by the name of co-operative education.
Below are given the guidelines and prescription for experiential

learning as it applies to the National Diploma: Engineering: Civil.
2. OBJECTIVES OF EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
Primarily experiential learning is done by the student in order to gain

insight in a work situation which will reinforce his/her academic
education.
Furthermore it is also the aim to improve the trainee’s communication

skills through the medium of a written report which the student has to
submit.
3. OVERVIEW
3.1 To fulfil the requirements of the National Diploma a student must

complete a minimum period of ONE YEAR of applicable and
approved experiential learning under the supervision of a
qualified mentor. It is recommended that this year follows after
the S2 block.
3.2 Experiential learning is done within the sphere of activities of a

civil engineering concern which may be a construction company,
a consulting engineering firm, a local authority, a statutory body
or a government department.
In the course of the student’s experiential learning, the student is

also expected to maintain a Logbook in which the activities of
4
training are recorded.
ALL LOGBOOKS MUST BE HANDED IN AFTER COMPLETION OF

AT LEAST 24 WEEKS OF TRAINING. THE BOOK WILL BE MARKED
AND YOU WILL BE ISSUED WITH A SECOND LOGBOOK.
3.3.1 During the first semester of the student’s experiential

learning the student is expected to gather information
on the technical and environmental concerns around a
project with which the student is involved.
During the second semester of experiential learning the

student is required to submit a technical report, dealing
with the environmental, practical and theoretical civil
engineering aspects of the project in which the student has
been involved.
3.4 In the curriculum for the National Diploma: Civil Engineering the
experiential learning is treated as a subject called:
Civil Engineering Practice II – CEP231
Civil Engineering Practice III - CEP331
3.5 There are four parties in the experiential learning programme and
they each have their own responsibilities. The parties are:
(a) the student or trainee
(b) the mentor who is the agent of the training or employing
body
(c) the monitor who is the agent of the University.
(d) the experiential learning officer who administers the
experiential learning.
5
4. SYLLABUS
Scope of Experiential Learning
The ideal is to give a student experiential learning in as many fields

related to Civil Engineering as possible. This implies exposure to most,
if not all, of the fields listed below.
The minimum requirement is that a student must acquire

an acceptable level of proficiency in at least four of the
listed fields. An acceptable level of proficiency translates
into about eight weeks of involvement in the work category
concerned. Please note that the student must complete at
least 1 year of applicable training!!!
4.1.1 Administration
4.1.2 Drawing
4.1.3 Surveying
4.1.4 Design
4.1.5 Contracts
4.1.6 Construction supervision
4.1.7 Materials testing.
4.1.8 Other skills as deemed acceptable by the monitor.
Specific details for each field are given on page 10.
4.2 Technical Report
During the semester of experiential training designated as Civil

Engineering Practice IIA (CEP231), the student should gather
information on the technical and environmental aspects of a
project with which the student is involved. During the semester
of experiential training designated as Civil Engineering Practice
IIB (CEP331) the student must submit to the NMMU by 30 May or
30 October his/her project which must meet the following
requirements:
6
(a) The project is a technical report that addresses some
engineering aspects of the student’s experiential learning.
(b) The report must present the engineering theory of that
aspect which the student is addressing.
(c) The report must also present the environmental issues
addressed in the project which the student is addressing.
The report must reflect the extent to which IEM procedures
have been and are being applied.
(d) The report must also reflect the student's critical
assessment of the environmental, practical and theoretical
aspects of the topic that he is addressing.
(e) The report must be present evidence of wider reading and
references must be acknowledged in the standard way.
(f) The report must be typed at 1½ line spacing, on only one
side of a page, and not exceed 15 typed pages in length. It
must also be provided with the standard front page
provided at the back of the logbook.
(g) As an addendum to the report the student may also
comment
on his experiential learning in general.
(h) During the course of preparing and writing up this project,
the
student may consult with his monitor at the University.
(i) Failure to hand in the project will result in the student
having to re-register the subject during the following
semester. No late projects will be accepted.
If an unsatisfactory mark (i.e. lower than 50%) is awarded for the

project, it will have to be redone until a pass mark is obtained.
5. EVALUATION OF TRAINING
The evaluation of the experiential learning is done by:
(a) the mentor who assesses and certifies that the student has
attained the desired scope of training , has achieved the desired
level of proficiency and that the filling in by the student of his
logbook is authentic.
(b) the monitor who evaluates the student's project.
In order to register a pass for the subject Civil Engineering Practice II,
the student must:
7
(a) obtain an acceptable level of proficiency in his/her experiential
training
(b) achieve at least 50% in his/her project.
6. THE DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE STUDENT
6.1 At the beginning of the semester in which experiential learning is

due to take place, the student must register at the N.M.M.U for
the appropriate module of experiential training.
6.2 For the duration of experiential training the student must
maintain a logbook which details the training and also his level of
responsibility in this regard. The logbook is used by the student
as a basis for the completion of the experiential learning report.
6.3 At the end of the semester concerned, the student must submit
his logbook and experiential learning report, duly certified and
signed by his mentor, to the N.M.M.U.
7. THE DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE MENTOR
7.1 The mentor must ensure that the scope and depth of the
experiential training to which the student is being exposed is
sufficient to build up the required level of proficiency.
7.2 The mentor must supply guidelines to the student in connection
with the training logbook, and check it at regular intervals.
7.3 At the end of each semester module, the mentor must check the
accuracy of the student's experiential learning report and
endorse it.
8. THE DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE MONITOR (N.M.M.U.)
8.1 On behalf of the NMMU, the monitor will note the student's
completed and signed experiential learning report and logbook
for each semester module.
8.2 The monitor will assess and mark the student's experiential
learning project when it is submitted to the N.M.M.U. according
to the included mark schedule.
8.3 In addition, when called upon to do so, the monitor may advise
and
guide the student in connection with any aspect of his
experiential learning.
8.4 Where considered necessary, the monitor may:
(a) contact the student telephonically at his place of training
8
(b) visit the student at his place of learning
(c) conduct an interview with the student at the end of an
experiential learning period.
9. ACCREDITATION OF TRAINING PROGRAMMES
Many experiential learning agencies, may well have structured training

programmes in place, and it is recommended that they have these
programmes accredited by the N.M.M.U. The N.M.M.U and the agency
will then agree on a suitable monitoring and evaluation procedure.
10. ENTRY INTO AN EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING PROGRAMME
Normally the onus is on the student to arrange entry into his

experiential learning programme. However the N.M.M.U. will assist the
student in whatever way it can in the procurement of experiential
learning. It must be noted that the contractual arrangements will be
between the student and the learning agency
