BEYOND THEORY: STUDENTS BRING 5S TO LIFE✨

Students from Clothing Management 1 in the Department of Textile Science DUT and Apparel Technology , Faculty of Applied Sciences at Durban University of Technology (DUT) brought the principles of 5S Lean Thinking to life through a vibrant multilingual poster presentation as part of Operations Management 1, lectured by Miss Winiswa Mavutha.

Each group was assigned one of the five 5S principles and challenged to interpret and communicate it through five South African languages, while incorporating traditional attire into their presentations. Through music, dance and poetry, students transformed management concepts into an engaging and culturally meaningful learning experience.

The activity highlighted creativity, collaboration, multilingual learning and cultural inclusion, demonstrating how operational excellence can be connected to diverse cultural contexts. It was inspiring to see students move beyond theory and bring their learning to life in such a dynamic and memorable way. 🌍🎓✨

🔎📚HCIAS Academic Pathways 2026: From Mathematics to Multiple Possibilities

DUT Hotel School, Ritson Campus | Friday, 4 September 2026 — Higher Certificate in Applied Science (HCIAS1) students were given an opportunity to explore their academic and career prospects at the 2026 HCIAS Academic Pathways Presentations, hosted by the Department of Mathematics in the Faculty of Applied Sciences.

The event brought together academic representatives from programmes across the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment and the Faculty of Applied Sciences, offering qualifications into which HCIAS1 students may articulate. The initiative aimed to help students make informed decisions about their next steps by providing insight into different professions, qualification requirements, admission criteria, areas of specialisation and career opportunities.

Opening the programme, Prof Darren Lortan, Head of the Department of Mathematics, highlighted the importance of creating a platform where students could engage directly with experts, clarify uncertainties and gain a better understanding of the pathways available beyond their Higher Certificate.

Representatives from Mechanical Engineering; Civil Engineering and Geomatics; Biotechnology and Food Sciences; Electronic and Computer Engineering; Architecture; Chemical Engineering; Maritime Studies; Construction Management and Quantity Surveying; and Industrial Engineering introduced students to their respective disciplines, programmes, entry requirements and career opportunities.

The interactive presentations encouraged students to ask questions and engage directly with the experts as they considered the academic and professional pathways aligned with their interests and aspirations.

The Faculty Office also guided students through the application process for their next programmes, including applying via PeopleSoft and addressing student queries. The NSFAS team provided further guidance on funding applications for new and returning students, discontinued funding and the academic progression requirements students must meet to maintain their funding.

The session reinforced a key message: completing the HCIAS1 qualification is not the end of the journey, but a stepping stone towards further study and professional opportunities. Equipped with information and guidance from academics and support teams, students were encouraged to make informed choices about their next chapter.

From Mathematics to multiple possibilities, the future begins with knowing your options.✨
