Approach to learning and assessmentWork integrated learningProgram structureApproach to learning and assessment
After the enrolment, students will be able to log on to the RMIT Course Guide system to access the learning methodology and assessment procedures for each course.
The program is designed with a common first year where all students will undertake the same core courses: eight in all. In Year 2, you will undertake a 24 CP (or equivalent of 24 CP) capstone project related to your chosen major discipline stream.
Teaching and Learning
You will be offered an interactive teaching and learning environment, including:
- Lectures and tutorials in which course contents will be illustrated with demonstrations, animations and examples.
- Laboratory work to enhance your technical skills. You will gain exposure to physical equipment and learn experimental techniques, solve hardware and software problems.
- Group discussions in which you will be encouraged to participate in broadening your ideas to solve technical problems.
- Simulations of professional work environments, aiming to enhance your knowledge through problem-solving.
- Work on various projects, including the preparation of professional reports. Examples include activities and projects which involve you in planning, designing and maintenance to prevent network problems. Such assignments and projects will provide you with opportunities to develop and demonstrate specified capabilities.
- Work-integrated learning (WIL) activities that are closely linked to industry and real workplace scenarios.
Assessment
A variety of assessment strategies are used in the program to ensure that you have achieved the required learning outcomes and developed critical capabilities:
- Examinations: an individual form of assessment where you have the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to explain fundamental principles and solve problems
- Assignment and projects: which may be done individually or in groups. This method may also be used to enable you to demonstrate your ability to work alone or as a member of a team
- Assessed tutorials: a form of in-class test, which may be done individually or as part of a team
- Laboratory reports: which provide an exercise in experimentation, report writing and critical analysis of data
- Project Report: demonstrates that you are able to report a significant project, from the planning phases right through to completion where conclusions and recommendations are made.
- Team based activities: for assessment activities (such as seminars, group presentations) you will assess yourself or your own group; or assess the work of other groups. This is part of equipping you to become more independent in your own learning, and assessing your own and others’ performance.
RMIT University has an assessment policy at: https://policies.rmit.edu.au/document/view.php?id=7
If students have a long-term medical condition and/or disability they can apply for adjustments to their study and assessment (Equitable Assessment Arrangements) by registering with the Equitable Learning Services (ELS) at https://www.rmit.edu.au/students/support-and-facilities/student-support/equitable-learning-services.
Top of pageWork integrated learning
RMIT University is committed to providing you with an education that strongly links formal learning with professional or vocational practice. As a student enrolled in this program you will:
- undertake and be assessed on structured activities that allow you to learn, apply and demonstrate your professional or vocational practice
- interact with industry and community when undertaking these activities, and
- complete these activities in real work contexts or situations.
These interactions and the work context provide a distinctive source of feedback to you to assist your learning.
Any or all of these aspects of a work integrated learning (WIL) experience may be simulated.
In the OENG1068, Engineering Project (or OENG1066 Engineering Project B in conjunction with OENG1064 Engineering Project A), all activities are carried out either in conjunction with industry or in a simulated work environment, thereby contributing to WIL. You will undertake and be assessed on project work that allows you to learn, apply and demonstrate the professional or vocational practice relevant to the field of study.
Completion of the OENG1068, Engineering Project (or OENG1066 Engineering Project B in conjunction with OENG1064 Engineering Project A), in the workplace during your Associate Degree studies will also count towards the 12 weeks of work experience required in all of RMIT's Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) programs.
