This is a Blended Learning Course offered through the Hotel School.
Course Outline !!
Your intention is to become a supervisor, restaurant or hotel manager or one day you want to open your own business in the hospitality industry? Therefore you need to know how a professional team of chefs prepares fancy, trendy, healthy and tasty dishes that are prepared under hygienic conditions, are in line with the establishment’s costings and budgets and ultimately ensure that customers return on a regular basis. This course will give you a detailed insight in food production and how to successfully manage such a department. It is not specifically meant only for the chefs working in the kitchen but also for the people that manage or supervise the Food & Beverage department of a hospitality establishment and gives them a deep understanding on the factors that determine the ultimate success of such operations. This course, as many others in this program give a detailed insight into the different departments of a hospitality establishment such as hotel, lodge, restaurant or bar so that one can get the skills and knowledge to understand how they work, but also how they are connected to each other and which factors do influence a successful operation. Someone that is in charge of a hotel does need to know a little bit from everything and it is therefore essential that he has also worked and trained in the kitchen, as it is one of the most important departments where good money can be made or ultimately where the biggest losses can be accrued. The kitchen is a very sensitive part of the entire hospitality operation and one need to understand it well in order to be able to manage and make a success out of it as it has tremendous impacts on the overall performance of an establishment.
This course is about the fundamentals of food production in a commercial environment. It will expose you to important aspects that you need to know to successfully run a catering outlet in a hospitality establishment. However it should be stressed that this course only covers the theoretical aspects and need to be taught concurrently with the course Food Production Practical FPP 510 S which solely takes place in the kitchen. Without doing the practical course at the same time, which will apply all the knowledge and skills learned in this course a full comprehension of the course will not be reached. You would agree that you cannot cook “with a book and a pen” as you need to go into a kitchen and really do it. So what will you learn and take away from this course? Some might argue, I want to become a waiter and or restaurant supervisor and therefore do not need to learn the basics in cooking. Even as a person working in the restaurant, the bar or the front office need the know how the food is prepared or how a profit can be achieved and by the way even if you would decide to venture into a different career the skills you will learn here can help you even if you just apply them at home. It is something you will keep for life, something you can always use in one or the other way.

Human Resource Management comprises a range of functions and functional activities that are carried out in order to, among other things, provide, utilise, remunerate, train, develop and maintain a motivated work force. It can, therefore, be described as a process embracing the dimensions of inception (getting individuals into the public sector); development (preparing employees to work effectively and efficiently); motivation (stimulating employees by caring for their needs) and maintenance (keeping employees in the public sector by providing suitable working conditions).
As you would imagine, the focus will mainly be on the African Public Service. You should thus strive to develop a genuine interest in the activities carried out by public sector institutions. This would provide you with an opportunity to evaluate human resource issues on a regular basis in this sector. You are, therefore, urged to apply practical examples in your approach to this subject.

Integrated Clinical Pathophysiology (ICP) is a course which aims to integrate the theory and practicals of the first five semesters of the programme with the laboratory practice learning/ Work Integrated Learning (WIL) of semesters six and seven and to evaluate the laboratory findings in terms of the pathophysiology disease status of the patient. The course involves within subject/ discipline integration which is critical and a precursor to between subject/ discipline integration and ultimately total integration of the knowledge acquired in all semesters of the course. Integration is important because it allows one to process any information presented and appreciate it holistically without apportioning that this is a microbiology issue, chemistry or haematology issue. This comes with the understanding that no disease pronounces itself as discipline specific in a patient, hence we need to use all critical thinking skills acquired in all disciplines to apply our knowledge in the laboratory. It is a very good feeling to like a particular discipline in Medical Laboratory Sciences and even specialise in it, but it is a lot better to understand and apply knowledge across the field of clinical pathology first before specialising.

Steel is used for structural applications from the same time as the advent of concrete. While timber is a very primitive construction material as we all know. Steel and timber possess the major advantages such as being lightweight materials than concrete, ability to exercise quality of production at the factory conditions and simple work process involved in construction and erection. Steel is widely used in construction of building frame, bridges, tower for telecommunication and electricity transmission, industrial components like, chimney, silo, bunker etc., and water and other liquid storage tanks also. Timber is a primitive structural material, used for building frames, roof supporting structures, small bridges, farm structures, etc. Timber buildings with all the members and components being that of timber are also constructed. Hence, in the civil engineering degree program, design of steel and timber structures is a core course in which the students are trained to perform structural design of steel and timber components subjected to different types of loads and stress resultants. For the steel and timber structural frame, unlike concrete, the joints cannot be highly rigid and monolithic. Hence structural connections are of unique importance to be designed for any steel and timber structural frame. There are standard cross sectional sizes and shapes of steel members used as beams and columns. Likewise, there are standard dimensions, thickness and shapes of steel sheet materials used for roofs, platforms, and floors. Timber members are generally cut to the required/designed shapes mostly rectangular, square, or circular cross sections. Code books stipulate the design procedures to be adopted for the structural design of components and structures.
Course Objective
To introduce and apply basic design principles and characteristics of steel and timber and thus to enable students to perform structural design of steel and timber structural components according to recognized design code.
