PLANT ENGINEERING CLASSES
I started giving PE part time classes in 1999 at the Technical
College of CT in Pinelands. Due to small attendance, the
College stopped giving these classes in 2002. That was
when I started giving classes in a private capacity by renting
a class room at one of the Technical Colleges or at CPUT
Bellville Campus for a number of years.
I give these classes twice a year, that ends a week or two
just before the exams which are in June and November.

This system gives the students home-work problems
to do for the topic that we have gone.
I will then solve the home-work problems on the
board step by step before we start the next class.
In this way the candidates have time to think and
absorb the understanding that is needed to solve
these problems.

Plant Engineering (PE)
The only way to pass this PE exam is for one to
solve and understand as many problems as possible
for as many topics as possible, from past exam
papers, and that is what I do in my classes.
I am available for any suggestion, such as going to
give these classes at their premises for a suitable
number of candidates.
