, South AfricaOur University was formed in 2004 following the merger of three technikons. Our merger aimed at redressing the inequalities of the past by providing access to all our communities and an academic home for all our students. In that short time, we have grown into the largest contact University in South Africa, with seven faculties offering programmes in science, engineering and technology, business and management, education, humanities and the arts. We have been ranked by Times Higher Education (THE) in 2018 as one of the top 1000 universities globally and our programmes in engineering in the top 300. THE has also ranked us eighth in South Africa. In 2017, University Ranking by Academic Performance (URAP) ranked us as the number one University of Technology in Africa. Equally important, as a people’s university our moral purpose is to be the embodiment and custodian of our people’s aspirations. This strategic intent is foregrounded by the outcomes of our Transformation Summit held in 2017 and subsequent Transformation Framework, which was informed by national, continental and global developmental goals. Our University provides an academic home for all our people, especially for those who are at the margins of society, rural and urban, by maximising access to higher education to address our triple challenges of poverty, inequality and unemployment.

, South AfricaOn Friday, 8 May 1964, the then government made an announcement that a unique Training Institute, the first of its kind in the Republic of South Africa would be built in the Vaal Triangle to address the skills shortage specifically for our rich industrial area. The building commenced shortly after the announcement was made and the project was completed in 1966 when the Vaal Triangle College for Advanced Technical Education opened its doors to the community. What started off as a Technical College has now developed and grown to be the only fully-fledged University of Technology in Southern Gauteng. The year 2014 marked 10 years as a University of Technology, and in 2016, the institution celebrated 50 years of existence. The face of the university has changed irrevocably since the 1990s, and as we go beyond our 50th anniversary, we will shift our focus to achieve greater success. In the 50 years of its existence, first as a College of Advanced Technical Education (1966-1979), Vaal Triangle Technikon (1979-2003) and then as Vaal University of Technology (2004-to date), VUT has grown in stature and size as a Higher Education Institution, drawing students from all over the country and the African continent. It is one of the largest Universities of Technology, with approximately 23 000 students. This position enables it to make a substantial contribution to the development of human capital in the region, the country and beyond its borders. The rich heritage of our region and the presence of metal, steel, engineering and telecommunications companies provide ample opportunities for our graduates to become rounded and fully-fledged citizens of the world. The impact of globalization, the changing world of work, the information era, new modes of knowledge production and the emergence of a new learning industry, have had a major influence on the transformation of the institution over the past 50 years. My whole career has been dedicated to bringing about change and developing a strong research culture, which is the heartbeat of a prosperous institution. The central vision of this celebratory book is to capture and reflect on how the institution realigned itself to grow from a Technical College to a Technikon and ultimately recrafting itself to complement the higher education landscape as the University of Technology it is today. The fundamental mandate of the university is for the upliftment of society and the creating of an affirming environment that navigates people through their expectations, aspirations, and dreams. 2 FOREWORD FOREWORD 3 Higher education institutions should not only be education hubs, but also be effective sustainable businesses. Knowledge is a highly perishable commodity, so we must constantly revamp that knowledge base; innovate and evaluate its impact in terms of the relevant needs of society and the country. We should never lose sight of our educative role, ensuring that we have a strong ethical background. Educational institutions have a mandate to produce people who have the requisite skills to operate at the requisite levels, being responsible and accountable. My vision is a transformed institution sought after by business and community where all are welcome, a hub for lifelong learning where diversity and equity are promoted, and barriers inhibiting the growth of individuals are broken down. It is against this background that in 2007 we were mandated by the Department of Higher Education and Training to craft a new vision for a University of Technology. Hence our vision and mission is: VISION To be a University that leads in innovative knowledge and quality technology education. MISSION To produce employable graduates who can make an impact on society by: • Adopting cutting edge technology and teaching methods; • Creating a scholarly environment conducive to knowledge creation, learning and innovation; and • Developing a Program Qualification Mix that meets the needs of society in Africa and beyond.
