Approach to learning and assessment

Classes are taught in a combination of intensive lecture, tutorial, workshop, laboratory sessions (during Residential Visits) 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. Several courses in the program are delivered online, rather than on-campus, and you are likely to find that other courses transition to online delivery as you progress through the program.

This program includes compulsory residential visits to RMIT Melbourne. There are two such visits in the program, each of approximately one week duration. In these visits you will undertake laboratory practice on campus, and may also undertake WIL activities and professional engineering research activities. You will be responsible for the cost of your own travel and accommodation, as well as associated costs. On return to Singapore you will be expected to submit a report.

Assessment takes place throughout the trimester and may include class tests, essays/reports, oral class presentations, group projects, research projects, laboratory projects and assignments and end of trimester examinations. Components of the assessment for each course may be found in their respective Course Guide.

If you have a long term medical condition, disability and/or other form of disadvantage it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the program coordinator or the Equitable Learning Services unit if you would like to find out more.

Work 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.

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.

Any or all of these aspects of a WIL experience may be in a simulated workplace learning environment. 

You will benefit in a number of ways from the various forms of employment experience described above:

  • WIL helps put your studies in perspective and to see the relevance of what you are being taught;
  • WIL makes you more mature and responsible thereby improving your attitude to study in subsequent years;
  • WIL often provides a topic for your final year project,
  • WIL frequently opens doors of employment opportunity.

As part of your program you will undertake OENG1169 Engineering Capstone Project Part A in one semester and OENG1171 Engineering Capstone Project Part B in the subsequent semester. 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.

Program Structure

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.
