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

  • You will be offered a learner-centred curriculum that encourages more learner engagement and participation than traditional lecture style delivery thereby providing you with opportunities to communicate in a variety of modes.
  • You will engage in projects that require you to report results qualitatively, quantitatively, graphically, electronically and textually.
  • Assessment in all courses will emphasise a range of written and oral skills.
  • You will undertake learning activities and projects that require you to work in multi-disciplinary teams and critically engage with aspects of team development and conflict resolution.
  • You will engage in learning activities and projects that require you to conceptualise, 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 practice and theory.
  • You will undertake projects that require you to access a wide variety of knowledge repositories including professional journals, discussion lists and online sources of material.
  • You will be required to solve complex, interconnected problems.
  • You will be engaged in projects and authentic tasks that require you to work in multidisciplinary teams on multidisciplinary problems.
  • You will be given problems that require you to consider the business context and commercial positioning of designed devices or systems.

Assessment
To ensure that you have achieved the required learning outcomes and developed critical capabilities you must be assessed.  Assessment is designed to give you opportunities to demonstrate your capabilities.  You will find that the forms of assessment used may be different for each course, as the assessment you receive must be appropriate to the objectives of each course.
The assessment you receive is critical to the success of your degree program, and to your future success in the workplace.  The Graduate Capabilities designed into your program (a pre-requisite for your success) are satisfied only if the Learning Outcomes specified for each course are known to have been satisfied.  Assessment does this, and because of the different types of courses, assessment may be expected to take different forms, such as:

  • 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: which may be done individually or in groups.  This method may also enable 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. 
RMIT University has an assessment policy: see https://www.rmit.edu.au/about/governance-and-management/policies/assessment-policy

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 Equitable Learning Services if you would like to find out more.

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 professional or vocational practice;
  • interact with industry and community when undertaking these activities;
  • complete these activities in real work contexts or situations; and
  • these interactions and the work context provide a distinctive source of feedback to you to assist your learning.

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

In this program the Research/Project courses provide WIL experiences for students. These courses provide realistic work situations allowing you to learn, apply and demonstrate professional engineering practice.

  • In Professional Engineering Project Part A and B (EEET2346 & EEET2347) you will work in a team on a project under the guidance of a professional engineer (usually an academic "mentor"). The project will require the team to work together to achieve a working product. You will be expected to take more than one role in the team at different times to expand your experience and capabilities.
