Approach to learning and assessment

The following learning and teaching 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • engage in learning activities and projects that require you to conceptualise, plan, design, construct and manage solutions to engineering problems.
  • focus on practical application of technical skills and be assessed on technical competence both in practice and theory.
  • undertake projects that require you to access a wide variety of knowledge repositories including professional journals, discussion lists and online sources of material.
  • be engaged in projects and tasks that require you to work in multidisciplinary teams on multidisciplinary problems.
  • 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 program and course learning outcomes.

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 either in a written form or in the laboratory;
  • Assignment and projects: which may be done individually or in groups.  This method will 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 progress. This will enable you to improve your performance in the future.

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 work integrated learning (WIL) experience may be simulated.

In this program WIL has been incorporated into MicroNano Engineering Simulation Tools (EEET2429). This course involves the use of commercial design tools for design and simulation of micronano devices. This emulates industry practices where engineers are required to simulate device designs and use foundaries to fabricate their chip designs.

In addition, MicroNano Fabrication Clearnroom Processes (EEET2436) will provide you with an opportunity to develop industrial design skills in the MicroNano Teaching Facility (MNTF). This course will give you experience of working in an actual Cleanroom fabrication facility, similar to what you may encounter in industry.
