Approach to learning and assessment

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

  • 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 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 engineering problems.
  • Learning activities will focus on practical application of technical skills and you will be assessed on technical competence both in theory and practice.
  • Projects will require you to access a variety of knowledge sources including professional journals, discussion lists and online resources.
  • 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.

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.

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.
  • 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: where you pause to consider what you have learnt, along with the easy and hard issues associated with that 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.
  • 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 (the exception is exams) will enable your lecturer to provide you with feedback on your strong and weak points.  This will enable you to improve your performance in the future.

NOTE: Students with a long-term medical condition and/or another form of disability who are registered under RMIT University Vietnam’s Equitable Learning Service (ELS) may apply to vary the aspects of the learning or assessment methods accordingly. Students can contact the Program Coordinator or the RMIT University Vietnam's Equitable Learning Service (ELS) for more information.

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): https://www.rmit.edu.au/students/student-essentials/enrolment/apply-for-credit

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) https://www.rmit.edu.au/students/life-and-work-opportunities/global-study-and-work/global-programs/internships/riierp

Work 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 RMIT University program you will:

Undertake and be assessed on structured activities that allow you to learn, apply and demonstrate your skills as a professional  
interact with industry and community when undertaking these activities 
be provided with distinctive feedback to you to assist your learning. 

Any or all of these aspects of work integrated learning (WIL) may be in a simulated workplace learning environment. 

In this program, you will be doing specific course(s) that are consistent with the RMIT Work Integrated Learning (WIL) policy.  You will be assessed on professional work in a work place setting (real or simulated) and receive feedback from those involved in your industry.

In Engineering Capstone Project Part B (OENG1185) 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.  You will gain industry feedback on your project. You will receive feedback from an experienced practicing engineer. 
As part of OENG1198 Professional Engineering Experience course you are also required to demonstrate completion of work-experience equivalent to 10 weeks full time.

These courses provide realistic work situations allowing you to learn, apply and demonstrate professional engineering practice.

Program transition plan

Very Important: This program is being phased out.
BH123 Bachelor of Engineering (Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering) (Honours) has been discontinued and will no longer accept new students from trimester 3 2023. The program plan will be taught out to current students until trimester 1, 2028. If you are unable to complete your program by the end of trimester 1 2028, you may consider applying to another program within RMIT subject to entrance requirements. You may also consider transferring into the following alternative program plan: BH123VRI23 Bachelor of Engineering (Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering) (Honours). For more information and advice on your enrolment, please contact your program manager, Mr. Huy Nguyen (huy.nguyenle@rmit.edu.vn). 

Transition Plan 2020
Effective from Trimester 1 2020, an amended program structure for the BH123 Bachelor of Engineering (Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering) (Honours) program will apply. Current enrolled students will transfer to the amended program structure and receive full credit for all courses completed under the superseded program structure (ie., the program structure in use prior to Trimester 1 2020).

Transition Plan 2018

BH123 Bachelor of Engineering (Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering) (Honours) is subject to a program structure amendment, implemented in January 2018. For currently enrolled students, this amendment will involve the individual mapping of completed courses against the updated program structure.

However, credits gained in BH123 to date will count towards the updated version of BH123.

If you commenced the program before 2018, one or more of the following transition cases will apply:

  • If you have successfully completed PROC2099 Engineering Materials you will receive credit for MANU2482 Materials Engineering
  • If you have successfully completed MIET2407 Engineering Management you will receive credit for OENG1181 Introduction to Professional Engineering Practice
  • If you have successfully completed EEET2492 Smart Embedded System it will be counted as a University Elective
  • If you have successfully completed EEET2439 Network Fundamentals it will be counted as a University Elective
  • If you have successfully completed OENG1067 Engineering Project B it will be counted as a University Elective
