Courtesy of the Central University of Technology (CUT), Free State, the varsity stated that the four machines are worth R279 616.64. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The donation is a result of a collaboration of the CUT\u2019s Product Development Technology Station (PDTS) with the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering. These were presented on 22 September to the college in Qwaqwa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe machines will immensely impact the advancement of educational and practical training experiences offered at the Maluti TVET College. This illustrates a shared commitment to education, innovation, and skill development,\u201d said Seithati Semenokane, spokesperson of the CUT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said the collaboration goes beyond providing equipment, as the PDTS is dedicated to fostering a holistic learning environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn addition, the PDTS will also provide comprehensive training and support to ensure that Maluti TVET College maximises the effective utilisation of these machines. The commitment to knowledge transfer underscores the mutual dedication of both institutions to enhance technical education and elevate the capabilities of students and the faculty,\u201d said Semenokane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CUT\u2019s PDTS unit specialises in product design, prototyping, and short-run production. Their expertise lies in transforming innovative concepts into functional products or refining existing products through meticulous engineering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe centre also aims to support businesses and individuals throughout the entire new product development process, making it a valuable resource for both institutions,\u201d said Semenokane.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Maluti TVET College in Phuthaditjhaba, Qwaqwa, has received a worthwhile boost in industrial machines meant to advance the training of students pursuing engineering.
