September 2009 at 23:26 When one talk of practice in the industry. Is it practice for technical people like engineers, technicians, and artisans or what? If that is the case. Let me say something. With Unam, we do BSC in Engineering while Polytech does B.TECH in engineering. If two students did engineering, one from Unam and one from poly, and they go to industries, they may end up doing the same work depending on the company. The truth is that. They are all engineers but different. The B.Tech engineer is technically supposed to be under the BSC engineer, and that is the point where more higher education is supposed to be with a BSc engineer, thus Unam. If you B.Tech engineer are better than that BSc engineer. How is he supposed to direct you, and why? Unam, is better than poly tech on engineering side.

September 2009 at 10:41 there you are joe, why are they even talking about them being gud if they havent even produced anything yet, They just started with their engineering school now, and they are already talking bull, Poly is poineering institution when it comes to engineering, and that my friends is the fact, we all know it. So dont come and tel us who should be where. Technically speaking, Unam has to learn from polytechnic. Poly is a small insitution when it comes to size, but results are outstanding, Iam a poly graduate and i walk with unam graduates, iam even paid morethan them friends, with this diploma i have, my company recognizes me, than they do to those Bsc graduates, we are from the applied science background and we know what we talking about. Infact, recently polytechnc has launched the Mining engineering, Geomatics, guys iam from these backgrounds, and i am telling you that poly has just made namibia's dream come tru. If unam takes these on, then they are coping. Dont bring politiking in education, With my diploma, i can respect someone with a cum laude Bsc Honors, not just a Bsc bull, you can never outrun me, bring it on boy Re: The Thing of Poly Better than Unam in Practice Steam Number Posts: 125 Last Post: 28.11.2011, 08:51 [ View User's Posts ] Monday, 21. September 2009 at 11:20 LK.... Got to say.... Dont even try talking about beter Engineering at Unam.... Correction: Poly has both BTech and BSc, do research and get your facts ryt my friend, you can start by checking Poly's curriculum.... I am an Engineer myself, a product of University of Science and Technology b.k.a (beta known as) Polytechnic of Namibia... and I have to say most of the Engineers at my workplace and also at Roads Authority, not forgetting RCC, TransNamib, Murray & Roberts are from Polytechnic... I dont know about recognition but based on an Engineering fact (opinion coming from a Civil Engineer)... Poly has more Engineers in the industry more than Unam.... That i know 4sure! It was one of the reasons it was rated 14 and Unam at 25 in the best Universities in Africa.... I advice you to base your argument on some other courses, such as Law and these other ones but Engineering.... noo! I have to admit you are right when you said a Bsc Engineer is supposed to beta than a BTech Engineer but then its not like that in Namibian Industry, you are recognised as equal im afraid...and dont forget Poly has both BSc and BTech...

September 2009 at 17:06 You are lying to yourself. You are very very down if you are talking of a diploma from poly and you want comparison to be made with someone with cum laude in BSc honor in Engineering. You must be joking. Some of your lecturers dont even have honors in engineering at polytech. I do look at poly curriculum, and the staff members for engineering departments. Indeed you are a technician, not an engineer yet. Loot at engineering council of Namibia to confirm. The other thing is that, you guys are lying on some of the things, Unam's graduate are from from UCT, PRETORIA, STELLENBOSSCH AND WITWATERSRAND. You cant compare yourself with them at all in any reputable engineering company. I agree with you that poly is the pioneer for engineering. That is true, no doubt. BSc at Poly is not even in all engineering disciplines. Now you are boosting about it. I am doing my honors in mech eng, and i have my friends at poly tech. I do work with them during holidays and i know what level of education poly is. Indeed you guys are now improving, well done for that matter. The main thing is not about boosting who is who is good or what so ever. We are to say what is right, and facts here about education at poly and unam. I was accepted by poly when i completed my grade 12, and i was to go into second year of mechanical engineering but i was adviced to go to Unam. Why? Because they have been having BSc degrees. While poly with diploma. I did fundamentals of engineering at unam, where i learned technical ranks ranging from an artisan(with certificate) until a professional engineer(with BSc Eng). In between there are Technologists which are called incorparate engineers(with B.Tech). I am not a politician as you say. Just a person saying my points.

September 2009 at 17:14 Thanks for correction that poly has many engineers in industries in Namibia. Also for accepting that BSc is higher than B.Tech even though Namibian industries dont recognise it. I like your corrections, as well as your explains. Some people did take it as an insult, and responded using bad words. Thank you that is how we learn and continue doing the right thing. Indeed poly is really doing great with such combination of BSc and B.Tech Eng..

September 2009 at 17:28 Point of correction there - Incorporate Engineer is an Engineer, regardless of having BSc / BTech.... but with a very low level of experience... it takes years then to become a Professional Engineer... but immediately when you complete your Degree, whichever one...you are called an "incorporated Engineer!". but incase of which institution conducts things better...Poly is the one man, i was at Unam in early 2000 to do Geology, that it didnt feel like it was my kindo thing... then i went to Poly to do Civil Engineering... and yaah i have to say Engineering students are well equipped (computer for almost every students to practice and with fast internet to browse the internet) and the Lecturers are much more serious and it was a must that you go to school, it wasnt like a University at all, it was more like high school... where you have attendance lists too which a person is evaluated according to... i have seen myself! I dont wanna talk about the other courses coz seriously Engineering department should be given credit, its well treated like its the most important thing in Polytech. Poly is young i have to admit though, but for a University its turning out to be...it has improved immensely.... as for Lectures I have to admit they were not that qualified as Lecturers that are supposed to lecture at Universities (with Master Degrees), but Poly is changing all that... they put up programmes for Lecturers coz of its recent proclaimed status as a University, and I know they will do a good job...

September 2009 at 18:55 Sup dawg, you doing engineering right? i'm doing civil, but not in Nam, give me your email address maybe we can discuss something about Engineering Anybody doing engineering in Namibia or somewhere else, let's hook up my email otalacs03@yahoo.com, but introduce yourself well coz im kinda rude Back to the topic, i believe Poly is better than Unam in engineering, i dont know about other courses But Poly still need to improve, because European graduates are still considered to be better than Poly's so poly need to improve to the point whereby Any Engineer has the same quality with an Engineer from Poly [Post edited by: Minding My Bisy on 21/9/09 7:13 PM] Re: The Thing of Poly Better than Unam in Practice leko Number Posts: 41 Last Post: 12.01.2011, 09:48 [ View User's Posts ] Tuesday, 22. September 2009 at 18:43 There you go again my friend, UNAM GRADUATES ARE FROM UCT, they aint unam graduates, they are UCT graduates. But ya you are right, its not about who is who, So in the first place you should have tought of that before you go on comparing.

October 2009 at 13:42 I like what POLY and UNAM are doing. I'm proud of both institutions. Point of correction about B.Tech and B.Sc An Experienced graduate with B.Science in engineering is registered with the ECN (Engineering Council of Namibia) as a Proffesional Engineer (Pr Eng) while the one with a B.Tech in Engineering is registered as an incorporated Engineer. The new graduates are called Proffesional Engineer In Training and Incorporated Engineer In Training respectively. The one with a Diploma in Engineering is called an Engineering Technician (or Engineering Technician In Training). On the Namibian Qualification Authority the courses are also rated differently. The B.Tech Eng is Level 7 while the B.Sc Eng is level 8. Re: The Thing of Poly Better than Unam in Practice s200849298 Number Posts: 1 Last Post: 19.02.2010, 09:33 [ View User's Posts ] Friday, 19.
