Program delivery and structure
Approach to learning and assessmentWork integrated learningProgram structureProgram transition planApproach 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 active engagement and participation than traditional lecture style delivery.
- You will engage in projects that require you to communicate outcomes to a range of audiences both verbally and in writing e.g. report results qualitatively, quantitatively, graphically, electronically.
- 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 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
The assessment in all courses has been designed to give you opportunities to demonstrate the knowledge and skills you have obtained. You will find that the forms of assessment used will vary according to the specific learning objectives and aspects of capability development to be achieved in each course.
Over the duration of the program you will encounter the following forms of assessment.
- 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 http://www.rmit.edu.au/browse;ID=det2rlnje0ay

RMIT is committed to providing you with an education that strongly links formal learning with workplace experience. 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
- complete these activities in real or simulated work contexts or situations.
