Approach to learning and assessment

The teaching approach in this program is designed to foster your development as an independent learner so you will be able to extend your capabilities once you graduate. The teaching method includes lectorial, seminar, tutorial, workshop, practical and laboratory sessions, site visits and provision of online materials. You will be expected to complete all prescribed out-of-class learning activities in preparation of scheduled face-to-face and online classes, and encouraged to extend your learning through additional recommended readings and online activities. Of particular importance is the time spent in practice, laboratory based and work integrated learning activities that will develop your employability skills and capabilities.

Selection courses in this program are delivered online while others use a combination of online, self-directed and face-to-face learning. All courses use Canvas for electronic provision of course material, tutorial problems and/or other relevant documents.  

Assessment is designed to give you the opportunity to demonstrate your technical, design, research, and communication capabilities. The assessment you receive will enable your lecturer to provide you with feedback. This will enable you to improve your performance in the future. Various forms of assessment will be used throughout the program since the assessment you undertake will be appropriate to the objectives and student learning outcomes for each course. Assessment may include class tests, quizzes, essays/reports, oral class presentations, group projects, research projects, laboratory projects, practical assignments, reflective journals and timed assessment. 

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.

Please read the full list of the Bachelor of Applied Science (Aviation) 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.

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 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
• Complete these activities in real work contexts or situations.

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

In this program you will be doing specific courses that focus on work integrated learning (WIL). You will be assessed on professional or vocational work in a workplace setting (real or simulated) and receive feedback from those involved in your industry. 

The work integrated learning (WIL) designated courses for this program are:

• AERO2631 Managing the Air Traffic Environment
• AERO2431 Aviation Industry Project

In these courses, industry practitioners are engaged in teaching or project supervision, and assessment or feedback on student performance of tasks that are indicative of work that a graduate will do as an employee in the aviation industry.

In the course AERO2431 Aviation Industry Project in the final year of the program, you will conduct an independent research capstone project. This project may be undertaken either within RMIT, or within an external company in Australia or elsewhere. If you are employed, then your final year project may be based in your workplace, solving a problem of direct relevance to your employer. Some courses in the program include guest lecturers from industry, government or the community and activities relating to industry as part of the learning experience.

In addition to the above work integrated learning experiences, you may choose to undertake at least 10 weeks of supervised work experience by enrolling in the optional AERO2582 Aviation Professional Experience as a University elective. Enrolling in AERO2582 means that you will be responsible for sourcing your own placement position, a task that aids development of critical career skills in identifying suitable roles and performing well in the recruitment process. The course is normally undertaken in the summer vacation period between years 2 and 3 of the program, but it can be taken at other times to align with your placement. International students please note: due to visa restrictions you are unable to enrol in AERO2582.
