RATIONALE Zambia being a developing country has a lot of construction activities going on. In order to build economic and safe structures appropriate materials should be used. Therefore, testing of materials is essential. As the construction industry grows there is a need to establish quality control of materials used in construction. Though the importance of understanding of materials used in construction is widely recognised, there is less emphasis in teaching of material construction at Material Testing Assistant level. The quality of the test data is influenced by the skills of Material Testing Assistants. It is against this background that this short course has been developed, in order to help the nation build high quality durable structures at minimum life cost cycle. This course will therefore, provide the construction industry with qualified Materials Testing Assistants who will apply acquired knowledge, skills and attitudes in the process of ensuring that materials used in construction comply with required standards and specifications. The trained persons will be utilised in both the formal and informal sectors of the economy.
PROGRAMME PURPOSE The purpose of the programme is to equip trainees with knowledge, skills and attitudes in testing of construction materials to enable them perform competently in both formal and informal section of the economy. They will be able to carry out materials tests both in the laboratory and in the field to applicable standards. PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES: On completion of the programme, the trainee will be able to: 4.1 4.2 Carry out materials sampling and testing procedures both in the laboratory and in the field Determine properties and quality of different types of construction materials
4.3 4.4 4.5 4.6
Maintain high standards of safety, health, environment while carrying out tests in the laboratory and in the fields. Apply entrepreneurship skills Use information and communication technology. Communicate effectively both internally and externally.
TEACHING STRATEGIES Learning shall constitute Lectures, demonstrations, discussions, tutorials, simulations, study tours, practical laboratory training and field work. . COURSE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS Direct Entry: Minimum of a Grade 12 School Certificate with passes in English, Mathematics and Science or Physics and Chemistry Mature entry: Grade 12 School Certificate with a pass in Science or Physics and Chemistry and a minimum of five (5) years experience in a construction related field. STUDENT ASSESSMENT Students shall be subjected to an end of the module test administered by NCC and a summative final course examination comprising all the modules shall be administered by TEVETA. The breakdown for assessments shall be as follows: Continuous Assessment Final Examination Pass mark 40% 60% 50%
