Program delivery and structure
Approach to learning and assessmentWork integrated learningProgram structureProgram transition planApproach to learning and assessment
This program is delivered primarily in face-to-face mode on campus. Some courses are delivered in blended mode, which includes a combination of online, self-directed and some face-to-face activities.
Classes are taught in a combination of intensive lecture, tutorial, workshop, laboratory sessions (during Residential Visit) and industry visits. You are expected to be responsible for the completion of all out of class learning activities which may require extra reading of both library and online materials.
This program includes a compulsory residential visit to RMIT Melbourne. There is one such visit in the program, of approximately one week duration.
Assessment is ongoing throughout the semester and may include class tests, essays/reports, oral class presentations, group projects, research projects, laboratory projects and assignments and time limited tests. Components of the assessment for each course may be found in their relevant course guide.
Inherent requirements
The following information on inherent requirements outlines the tasks you will be required to undertake during professional placement and on-campus learning activities. The non-academic abilities listed are provided for information only and are not entry requirements.
If there are any activities outlined which may be difficult for you to undertake, there are a range of adjustments to your study conditions available to enable and support you to demonstrate these abilities. Please contact the Equitable Learning Service to discuss any adjustments you may require.
Information about Inherent Requirements can be found here https://www.rmit.edu.au/students/student-essentials/program-and-course-information/inherent-requirements
By understanding the types of activities you’ll participate in, you can:
- understand more about the program
- determine if you may need support during your studies
- make an informed decision about whether the program is suitable for you
If you are living with disability, long-term illness and/or a mental health condition, we can support you by making adjustments to activities in your program so that you can participate fully in your studies. To receive learning adjustments, you need to register with Equitable Learning Service.
Top of pageWork integrated learning
RMIT is committed to providing you with an education that strongly links formal learning with workplace experience. As a student enrolled in this RMIT 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 or simulated work contexts or situations.
Any or all of these aspects of a WIL experience may be in a simulated workplace learning environment.
In this program, you will be doing specific course(s) that focus on work integrated learning (WIL). You will be assessed on professional or vocational work in a work place setting (real or simulated) and receive feedback from those involved in your industry.
You will benefit in a number of ways from the various forms of employment experience described above: (i) it helps put your studies in perspective and to see the relevance of what you are being taught; (ii) it makes you more mature and responsible thereby improving your attitude to study in subsequent years; (iii) it often provides a topic for your final year project, and (iv) it frequently opens doors of employment opportunity.
As part of your program you will undertake OENG1170 Engineering Capstone Project Part A in one trimester and OENG1172 Engineering Capstone Project Part B in the subsequent trimester. These projects either are directly connected with industry or simulate the situation of a young engineer in industry reporting to a supervisor with whom they meet regularly. In the cases where the project is directly connected with industry the industry partner is usually involved in some components of the assessment. Industrial practitioners can become involved in the assessment of some component of the work done by students involved in projects that simulate the situation of a young engineer in industry.

| For students who commence their study in this program from 1 January 2016 onwards, please note that some courses listed in this structure will have their course marks count toward your program's weighted average mark. Your weighted average mark will determine the honours level of your award once you have completed the program. If a course counts toward your weighted average mark, that fact will be stated in its course guide. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
