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. Career Development Learning (CDL) experiences are embedded within the program and provide you with the knowledge, skills and attributes to manage your career and development throughout your life.

Selected 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.

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 a 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 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 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:

  • AERO2657 Managing the Air Traffic Environment
  • AERO2648 Aviation Industry Project

In the course AERO2648 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 AERO2661 Aviation Professional Experience as a University elective. Enrolling in AERO2661 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.
