DUT DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PRESENTATION TO HIGH SCHOOL
Al Falaah College hosted staff and students from the DUT Department of Information Technology, who showcased what their Department had to offer. Our learners were enthralled by the display of drones and robots and other hi-tech equipment.
Mr Ebrahim Asmal – Senior Lecturer, at the Department of Information Technology shared some enlightening information on how you would need a pilot’s licence to fly a drone. It is actually illegal to fly a drone without having this licence. Their department also has a humanoid robot that speaks English and French and is now being programmed to speak the 11 official languages of South Africa.
Learners entered the world of Virtual Reality by walking through the inside of the Kabaah , using the Virtual Reality Googles. Mr Asmal pointed out that our world is moving towards the 5th Industrial Revolution and we have to embrace this new future.
