Abstract
![CDATA[Technology that is current today, may not be in five to ten years’ time. Therefore, when teaching technology, it is important for it to be tailored, so that essential building blocks are learned. This way students are given opportunities to acquire essential skills in order to apply the knowledge gained in the ever-changing technological domains. When teaching technology, the aim is to provide students with solid foundations, so that in the years to come, they can utilise the knowledge acquired and apply it to new innovations. For teaching staff, it is important to ensure that they have adequate exposure to technical advances and that they are given opportunities to engage with industry representatives, attend conferences and workshops. It is also essential that staff are supported and encouraged to engage in continuous professional developments and evaluations.]]
