Approach to learning and assessment

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.

The following learning and teaching approaches form the basis of your learning experiences:

• You will be treated as ‘adult learners’: expected to take responsibility for your own learning in a mature and independent way. Your future personal and career prospects will be enhanced by active engagement in learning activities. 
• In classes, including lectures, you will be encouraged to actively participate in activities such as discussions, asking and answering questions, and problem solving exercises.
• Projects will require you to access a variety of knowledge sources including professional journals, discussion lists and online resources.
• Projects will require you to effectively communicate outcomes across all communication modes (speaking, listening, writing, drawing and presenting) to a range of audiences.
• You will undertake team learning activities and projects that require you to work in mixed teams and critically engage with aspects of team development and conflict resolution.
• You will engage in learning activities and projects that require you to identify, plan, design, construct and manage solutions to problems.
• Learning activities will focus on practical application of skills and you will be assessed on competence both in theory and practice.
• You will be required to solve complex, real-world problems.
• You will be given problems that require you to consider the business context and market potential of products that you design.

In addition to your studies for this program you also have the opportunity of undertaking an Industry Placement for six or twelve months either locally as advertised by local businesses, or internationally through the RMIT International Industry Experience and Research Program (RIIERP) http://www.rmit.edu.au/riierp. 

Assessment

Course assessment is designed to enable you to demonstrate your technical, design, research, and communication abilities. The forms of assessment will vary with each course, depending on the specific learning outcomes and capability development objectives. Successfully completing assessment tasks ensures that a level of achievement in regard to the capabilities outlined in the program has been attained. 

Assessments may take the following forms:

• Examinations: an individual form of assessment where you have the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to explain fundamental principles and solve problems.
• In-class tests: provide you with timely feedback on your understanding of course content and allow feedback to assist you in further developing your skills and capabilities during the semester;
• Assignment and Projects: these may be done individually or in groups allowing you to demonstrate your ability to work alone or as a member of a team.
• Reflective Journals or Papers: where you reflect on what you have learnt and the methods utilised to enhance learning.
• Assessed Tutorials: a form of in-class test, which may be done individually or as a team.
• Laboratory Reports: which provide an exercise in experimentation, report writing and critical analysis of data.
• Research projects: which assess ability to assimilate, critical analyse and reflect on information as well as written communication skills;
• Formal presentations: enable the development of verbal communication skills, and organisational abilities;
• Self-Assessment and Peer-Assessment: for assessment activities such as seminars 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.

Most of the assessment you receive (except exams) will enable your lecturer to provide you with feedback on your learning. This will enable you to improve your performance in the future.

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 if you would like to find out more.

If you have already developed areas of skill and knowledge included in this program (for example, through prior studies or work experience), you can apply for credit once you have enrolled in this program. There is information on the RMIT University website about how to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) http://www.rmit.edu.au/students/enrolment/credit/he

Work integrated learning

Bachelor of Engineering(Electrical & Electronic Eng)(Honours)

RMIT is committed to providing you with an education that strongly links formal learning with workplace experience.  Work Integrated Learning will be undertaken in many courses in your program. 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 receive feedback through assessment tasks; and
• complete these activities in real or simulated work contexts or situations.

The following two 12 CP core course include WIL activities where 50% or more of the assessment involves assessors from a WIL partner organisation:

• OENG1166 Introduction to Professional Engineering Practice where you will participate in an "Engineers Without Borders (EWB)" project which is focussed on sustainable development as identified by EWB and community organisations. 
• OENG1168 Engineering Capstone Project Part B where you will work under the guidance of a professional engineer who may be from industry or be an academic or research staff member. You will apply your technical knowledge, research, design and professional engineering skills to either discipline specific, or cross disciplinary engineering problems, through robust research and established engineering design processes. 

In addition to these courses you are strongly recommended to undertake at least 10 weeks of engineering work experience supervised by a professional engineer. If your work experience meets the requirements it may be assessed concurrently with your work experience as part of courses such as 

• OENG1165 Professional Engineering Experience

You can enrol in OENG1165 while you are undertaking engineering work experience at any time during your program as a University elective course or you can enrol in it as a technical option course in some programs in your final year.

Bachelor of Business(Entrepreneurship)

The designated Work Integrated Learning (WIL) courses in this portioin of the program are BUSM1325 New Venture Creation (12 credit points) and BUSM1321 Driving Innovation in Organisations (12 credit points). These courses will provide you with opportunities to apply your academic skills to a work-based context. 

In particular you will:

• undertake and be assessed on structured activities that allow you to learn, apply and demonstrate your professional or vocational practice; and
• be involved in authentic engagement with partner organisations that includes industry feedback.

These learning opportunities may be in the form of industry based projects, simulations or placements.
