About the Programme
- The aim is to improve Engineering as a career choice amongst learners.
- Engaging the learners in bigger picture promotions of learning Maths, Science and Technology.
- This evolved from the fact that engineering in South Africa, inclusive of all the disciplines, as a profession has insufficient experienced and active engineers and very poor representation of Africans.
