In fact, the weekly timetable documentssuggest that as much as a third of the fourth-year contact hours at Town University areexpected laboratory work time rather than traditional contact sessions (not evident in thefigure).With respect to the institutional variations, Figure 1 shows that in the last two years, there is asignificant difference in contact time at the two South African universities, with the contacthours at City University considerably lower than those at Town University.

of SPEE was gradually superseded by the competing interests of the ECPD’s federatedgovernance structure [21]. By 1980, when ECPD changed its name to the Accreditation Boardfor Engineering and Technology (subsequently to be changed to ABET, Inc.), engineeringaccreditation had become “more rigid and rule-bound,” while “the accreditation criteria grewfrom a few paragraphs … to thirty-plus pages of fine print containing detailed prescriptions forrequired courses, credit hour distributions, numbers of faculty, and laboratory improvement plans[23].” This growth was largely ad hoc and sporadic; it did not follow a systematic process or aregular cycle.In 1992, the ABET leadership established an Accreditation Process Review Committee, whichheld a
engineering club, and number of flashlights built from 2014–2017.had taught others something from the club, 21% (n = 5) of whom taught friends or family outside ofWISER. The original flashlight curriculum was designed in conjunction with the WISER faculty memberto follow the physics curriculum and serve as a laboratory exercise to enhance learning. Eighty sevenpercent (n = 21) of participants reported that they recognized there was a connection between classesand the engineering club, and 29% (n = 7) stated that the club helped them and other students learnphysics. Finally, 67% (n = 16) of participants discussed how the club connected to future possible careersor occupations related to engineering. Table 2 contains a summary and representative
