1 INTRODUCTION
Dear Student
Teaching and learning in a CODeL context involves multiple modes of delivery ranging from
blended learning to fully online. As a default position, all post graduate programmes are
offered fully online with no printed study materials, while undergraduate programmes are
offered in a blended mode of delivery where printed study materials are augmented with
online teaching and learning via the learner management system – myUnisa. In some
instances, undergraduate programmes are offered fully online as well.
Furthermore, our programmes are aligned with the vision, mission and values of the
University. Unisa's commitment to serve humanity and shape futures combined with a clear
appreciation of our location on the African continent, Unisa's graduates have distinctive
graduate qualities which include:
• independent, resilient, responsible and caring citizens who are able to fulfil and serve
in multiple roles in their immediate and future local, national and global communities
• having a critical understanding of their location on the African continent with its
histories, challenges and potential in relation to globally diverse contexts
• the ability to critically analyse and evaluate the credibility and usefulness of
information and data from multiple sources in a globalised world with its ever-
increasing information and data flows and competing worldviews
• an awareness of their own learning and developmental needs and future potential
Whether a module is offered either as blended (meaning that we use a combination of printed
and online material to engage with you) or online (all information is available via the internet),
we use myUnisa as our virtual campus. This is an online system that is used to administer,
document, and deliver educational material to you and support engagement with you. Look
out for information from your lecturer as well as other Unisa platforms to determine how to
access the virtual myUnisa module site. Information on the tools that will be available to
engage with the lecturer and fellow students to support your learning will also be
communicated via various platforms.

MEN1501/101/0/2024
You are encouraged to log into the module site on myUnisa regularly (that is, at least twice per
week).
Because this is a fully online module, you will need to use myUnisa to study and complete the
learning activities for this module. Visit the website for MEN1501 on myUnisa frequently. The
website for your module is MEN1501-24-S1/S2].
2 MODULE OVERVIEW
2.1 Purpose
This module is a 12-credit module and is an introduction to the field (equivalent to the National

Diploma in Engineering: Mechanical
2.2 Outcomes
The following chapters are covered for the subject component Maintenance Engineering I –
MEN1501:
3 CURRICULUM TRANSFORMATION
Unisa has implemented a transformation charter, in terms of which the university has placed curriculum
transformation high on the teaching and learning agenda. Curriculum transformation includes student-
centred scholarship, the pedagogical renewal of teaching and assessment practices, the scholarship of
teaching and learning, and the infusion of African epistemologies and philosophies. All of these will be
phased in at both programme and module levels, and as a result of this you will notice a marked change
in the teaching and learning strategy implemented by Unisa, together with the way in which the content
is conceptualised in your modules. We encourage you to embrace these changes during your studies at
Unisa in a responsive way within the framework of transformation.

Many students find the transition from school education to tertiary education stressful. This is also true in
the case of students enrolling at Unisa for the first time. Unisa is a dedicated open distance and e-
learning institution, and it is very different from face-to-face/contact institutions. It is a mega university,
and all our programmes are offered through either blended learning or fully online learning. It is for this
reason that we thought it necessary to offer first-time students additional/extended support to help them
seamlessly navigate the Unisa teaching and learning journey with little difficulty and few barriers. We
therefore offer a specialised student support programme to students enrolling at Unisa for the first time –
this is Unisa’s First-Year Experience (FYE) Programme, designed to provide you with prompt and helpful
information about services that the institution offers and how you can access information. The following
FYE services are currently offered:

7. STUDY PLAN
Use the studies @unisa brochure for general time management and planning skills.
Studying fully online modules differs completely from studying some of your other modules at
Unisa.
• All your study material and learning activities for online modules are designed to be
delivered online on myUnisa.
• All of your assessments must be submitted online. This means that you do all your
activities and submit all your assessments on myUnisa. In other words, you may NOT post
your assessments to Unisa using the South African Post Office.
• All of the communication between you and the University happens online. Lecturers
will communicate to you by e-mail, sms and using the Announcements, the Discussion
Forums and the Questions and Answers tools. You can also use all of these ways to ask
questions and contact your lecturers.
Distance learning is not easy and you should not underestimate the time and effort involved.
Once you have received your study material, please plan how you will approach and complete
this module. You can use the study plan in the previous section as a guideline to draw up a
reasonable study schedule that can guide you through the whole module. Remember to take
into consideration the due dates of the assessments as given in Tutorial Letter 101 for this
module.
The assessments in this module should give you an idea of how well you are making progress
in achieving the learning outcomes.
• First skim through the learning unit and then study it in depth, making notes where
needed.
• Complete the activities in every learning unit.
• Make your own summary of every learning unit; draw diagrams and mind maps where
these might assist.
• If you need additional practice, you could find relevant additional problems to solve in a
textbook or on the internet.
• Reflect on your progress at the end of every learning unit. Some of the learning units
contain a reflective question for you to answer.
10
MEN1501/101/0/2024
As you work, build up your own study and examination preparation file. This study file will not
be assessed, but it will be an extremely valuable tool for you in completing your assessments
and revising for the examination.
What is a study file? A study file is a folder or file in which you gather and compile additional
and/or summarised information during the year as you work through the learning material.
9. ASSESSMENT
9.1 Assessment criteria
Assessments are part of the learning material for this module. As you do the assignment, study
the reading texts, consult other resources, discuss the work with fellow students or do research,
you are actively engaged in learning.
11
Specific outcomes Assessment criteria
12
MEN1501/101/0/2024
6 Motivation in Maintenance • Enumerate the training problems that are faced during
performance of the maintenance functions.
• What are the different types of training programmes that can
be imparted to the maintenance workforce?
• Discuss how incentives can improve the performance of a
maintenance organization.
• Labour performance analysis can enhance the productivity of
maintenance personnel. Justify.
• Examine the economic aspects of incentive plans used in the
maintenance
Graduate Attributes
To maintain our programme/qualification accreditation, each programme must provide evidence
that our students are attaining key “attributes” as defined by the ENGINEERING COUNCIL of
SOUTH AFRICA (ECSA). Moreover, our programs need to also be performing “continuous
improvement” – i.e., finding evidence-driven actions and processes to improve curriculum and
student learning. As such it is important as a student that you are familiar with the ECSA
assessment criteria (graduate attributes). Please see link:
https://www.ecsa.co.za/education/EducationDocs/120710SPGraduateAttributes.pdf
Please note the assessments will carry graduate attributes as prescribed by Engineering
Council of South Africa. Since this course is about logistics engineering, graduate attribute 2
13
Application of Scientific and Engineering Knowledge) which requires students to Apply
knowledge of mathematics, natural science and engineering sciences to define and apply
engineering procedures, processes, systems and methodologies to solve broadly-defined
engineering problems will be assessed. You are required to demonstrate competence of this
attribute and pass it accordingly. All assessments will therefore have graduate attribute 2 and it
is compulsory to get a minimum of 50% for the assessments to be allowed to be deemed
competent.
Graduate attributes are implemented to ensure that any engineering qualification obtained from
the signatory countries of the Sydney Accord are recognized by each member of state.
Engineering Council of Southern Africa (ECSA) is a representative for South Africa in the
signatory of the Sydney Accord (The Sydney Accord is an international agreement between
bodies responsible for accrediting engineering technology academic programs).

By aligning assessment to a specific outcome for that applicable GA using a comprehensive
rubric attached as an addendum.
A Graduate Attribute is measured/assessed at Lower levels for preparation of students and Exit
level modules for testing where the 50% pass-mark threshold is affected.
Assessments will be posted via announcements on MyMoodle platform two weeks before they
are due, the assessment criteria or marking rubric will be posted together with the assessment.
Unisa is following a continuous assessment system. So, you will be able to accumulate marks
throughout the semester. Your promotion mark comprises of a combination of assessment
methods.

MEN1501/101/0/2024
School of Engineering is following a continuous assessment system. So, you will be able to
accumulate marks throughout the year.
The formative assessment for this module will be in the form of timed online tests and written
submissions via myUnisa. The major online tests will be 2 hours long with an additional 15
minutes to download the test and 30 minutes to upload the answer script. There will be a total of
two-timed online tests plus one additional resubmission in the event you do not meet the
passing mark. There will also be two minor tests, these assessments will come before each test
to guide students on what is expected on the major tests.
Your final mark will be calculated from a total of 5 assessments. 4 assessments are
compulsory.
Please note:
• All information on when and where to submit your assignments will be made available to
you via the myUnisa site for your module.
• Due dates for assignments, as well as the actual assignments are available on the
myUnisa site for this module.
• Your assessments will comprise a combination of 2 minor tests, 2 major Tests and 1

• Assignment due dates will be made available to you on the myUnisa landing page for this
module. We envisage that the due dates will be available to you upon registration.
• Please start working on your assessments as soon as you register for the module.
• Log on to the myUnisa site for this module to obtain more information on the due dates
for the submission of the assessments.
• The myUnisa virtual campus will offer students access to the myModules site, where
learning material will be available online and where assessments should be completed.
This is an online system that is used to administer, document, and deliver educational
material to students and support engagement between academics and students.
• When you access your myModules site for the module/s you are registered for, you will
see a welcome message posted by your lecturer. Below the welcome message you will
see the assessment shells for the assessments that you need to complete. Some
assessments may be multiple choice, some tests, others written assessments, some
forum discussions, and so on. All assessments must be completed on the assessment
shells available on the respective module platforms.
• To complete quiz assessments, please log on to the module site where you need to
complete the assessment. Click on the relevant assessment shell (Assessment 1,
Assessment 2, etc.). There will be a date on which the assessment will open for you.
When the assessment is open, access the quiz online and complete it within the time
available to you. Quiz assessment questions are not included in this tutorial letter
(Tutorial Letter 101) and are only made available online. You must therefore access the
quiz online and complete it online where the quiz has been created.
• It is not advisable to use a cell phone to complete the quiz. Please use a desktop
computer, tablet or laptop when completing the quiz. Students who use a cell phone find
it difficult to navigate the Online Assessment tool on the small screen and often struggle
to navigate between questions and successfully complete the quizzes. In addition, cell
16
MEN1501/101/0/2024
phones are more vulnerable to dropped internet connections than other devices. If at all
possible, please do not use a cell phone for this assessment type.
• For written assessments, please note the due date by which the assessment must be
submitted. Ensure that you follow the guidelines given by your lecturer to complete the
assessment. Click on the submission button on the relevant assessment shell on
myModules. You will then be able to upload your written assessment on the myModules
site of the modules that you are registered for. Before you finalise the upload, double
check that you have selected the correct file for upload. Remember, no marks can be
allocated for incorrectly submitted assessments.
• Elective assignments
- If not submitted, the student gets no mark for this item.
- The best of the required submissions will count.
• Mandatory assignments
- If not submitted, the student gets no mark for this item.
• Compulsory assignments
- If not submitted, the result on the student’s academic record will be absent.
• Optional assignments – You are encouraged as a student to do optional
assignment so that it may benefit your learning.
I. Elective assignments
a. the student is given a choice of which assignments within an identified group to
submit, only the best result(-s), the number of which is specified in advance, will
contribute towards the year mark.
b. elective assignments must also be grouped into an elective group.
c. for the student to select which assignment to submit, the elective assignments must
be grouped together. For such an elective group, relevant information must be
provided to the student, such as how many of the assignments must be submitted
and how many of the assignment marks should be combined into the year mark.
d. The selection criteria define how marks received for assignments in an elective group
are to be combined into the year mark. Three different criteria may be used for
calculating the year mark:
• The best mark should be used, or
• If the student submits fewer than the required number of assignments per group or
no assignment in a group, a mark of 0% will be used.
• 0% is awarded to all non-submitted or unmarked assessments. A best mark is
then calculated from all items.
17
III. Compulsory Assessment
a. when not submitted, the student will fail a Continuous Assessment module but will be
shown as absent from the examination in the case of other modules.
As indicated in section 9.2, you need to complete 6 assessments for this module.
There are no assignments included in this tutorial letter. Assignments and due dates will be
made available to you on myModules for this module. We envisage that the due dates will be
available to you upon registration.
• Keep a clear copy of the assignment for your own reference. This is important, as
assignments do get lost.
• Submissions of assignments must be in accordance with “my studies @ unisa
• You must obtain a minimum of 50% on both major tests. However, all assessments are
compulsory to pass the module.
• Student who fails any of the major tests will have a one opportunity to re-do the
tests.
• Because this is an online module, the assignments are not provided in this tutorial letter.
Instead, they will be posted online as they become due, and you will see them when you
go online.
• All assessments must be submitted in PDF format only.
No other methods
9.7 The examination
Examination information and details on the format of the examination will be made available to
you online via the myUnisa site. Look out for information that will be shared with you by your
lecturer and e-tutors (where relevant) and for communication from the university.
9.7.1 Invigilation/proctoring
Since 2020 Unisa conducts all its assessments online. Given stringent requirements from
professional bodies and increased solicitations of Unisa’s students by third parties to unlawfully
18
MEN1501/101/0/2024
assist them with the completion of assignments and examinations, the University is obliged to
assure its assessment integrity through the utilisation of various proctoring tools: Turnitin,
Moodle Proctoring, the Invigilator App and IRIS. These tools will authenticate the student’s
identity and flag suspicious behaviour to assure credibility of students’ responses during
assessments. The description below is for your benefit as you may encounter any or all of these
in your registered modules:
Turnitin is a plagiarism software that facilitates checks for originality in students’ submissions
against internal and external sources. Turnitin assists in identifying academic fraud and ghost
writing. Students are expected to submit typed responses for utilisation of the Turnitin software.
The Moodle Proctoring tool is a facial recognition software that authenticates students’ identity
during their Quiz assessments. This tool requires access to a student’s mobile or laptop
camera. Students must ensure their camera is activated in their browser settings prior to their
assessments.
IRIS Invigilation software verifies the identity of a student during assessment and provides for
both manual and automated facial verification. It has the ability to record and review a student’s
assessment session. It flags suspicious behaviour by the students for review by an academic
administrator. IRIS software requires installation on students’ laptop devices that are enabled
with a webcam.
Students who are identified and flagged for suspicious dishonest behaviour arising from the
invigilation and proctoring reports are referred to the disciplinary office for formal proceeding.
Please note:
Students must refer to their module assessment information on their myModule sites to
determine which proctoring or invigilation tool will be utilised for their formative and summative
assessments.
• Copying and pasting from any source without acknowledging the source.
• Not including references or deliberately inserting incorrect bibliographic information.
• Paraphrasing without acknowledging the original source of the information.

MEN1501/101/0/2024
The 360 credit Diploma in Mechanical Engineering was designed considering the HEQSF
document from 2013 and the generic ECSA document “Qualification Standard for Diploma in
Engineering: NQF Level 6; Document: E-02-PN; Rev 5; from 01 September 2020”.
For the 360 credit Diploma the Dublin Accord rules and regulations are applicable
Assurance of substantial equivalence through this agreement may enhance mutual exemption
between jurisdictions by leading to opportunities to streamline processes and procedures for the
recognition of competent individuals in other jurisdictions.
The equivalency of the engineering programmes was possible through the introduction of
Graduate Attributes. Graduate Attributes are assessable outcomes, developed by the
signatories that give confidence that the educational objectives of programmes are being
achieved ensuring the quality of the programme.
As the Graduate Attributes are “assessable outcomes”, each module part of the qualification,
has several Graduate Attributes attached to them and must be assessed in a measurable way,
namely through assignment or laboratory reports or projects or exams. Some Graduate
Attributes may be assessed via several measurable ways.
23
From 2022 the Graduate Attributes are assessed in design, practical, project and Work-
Integrated learning modules and the total number of 12 Graduate Attributes will be assessed
over the whole qualification.
The Graduate Attributes may be assessed at basic, intermediate and exit level.
The graduate attributes defined below are stated generically and may be assessed in various
engineering disciplinary or cross-disciplinary contexts in a provider-based or simulated practice
environment.
General Range Statement: The competencies defined in the eleven graduate attributes may be
demonstrated in a university-based, simulated workplace context. Competencies stated generically may
be assessed in various engineering disciplinary or cross-disciplinary contexts.
Level Descriptor: Well-defined engineering problems:
a) can be solved mainly by practical engineering knowledge, underpinned by related theory; and have
one or more of the characteristics:
24
MEN1501/101/0/2024
iv) involve several issues but few of these impose conflicting constraints and have a limited range
of interested and affected parties.
A thorough grounding in mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics and formal aspects of computer
and information science to support analysis and modelling applicable to the sub-discipline;
A thorough grounding in the engineering fundamentals required in the engineering sub-discipline; and
Engineering specialist knowledge in the accepted practice areas in the engineering sub-discipline
Range Statement: Mathematics, natural science and engineering sciences are applied in analysis and
modelling of engineering situations, and for reasoning about and solving well-defined engineering
problems.
Note: An investigation differs from a design in that the objective is to produce knowledge and
understanding of a phenomenon and a recommended course of action rather than specifying how an
artifact could be produced.
25
Graduate Attribute 5: Engineering methods, skills and tools, including information technology.
Demonstrate competence to use appropriate engineering methods, skills and tools, including those
based on information technology.
Range Statement: A range of methods, skills and tools appropriate to the disciplinary designation of the
program including:
• Sub-discipline-specific tools, processes or procedures.
Range Statement: Multidisciplinary tasks require co-operation across at least one disciplinary boundary.
Co-operating disciplines may be engineering disciplines with different fundamental bases other than that
of the programme or may be outside engineering.
26
MEN1501/101/0/2024
Range Statement: Operate in well-structured environment with some unfamiliar elements requiring
personal responsibility and initiative, accurately self-evaluate and take responsibility for learning
requirements; be aware of social and ethical implications of applying knowledge in particular contexts.
Range Statement: Tasks to demonstrate this outcome should be designed to connect academic
learning with workplace practice and may be performed in one or more of the following types of work-
integrated learning:
i) Work-directed theoretical learning.
v) Simulated learning.
Note: While attribute 12 is specific to workplace practices, other attributes may be demonstrated
simultaneously
