Approach to learning and assessmentWork integrated learningProgram structureProgram transition planApproach to learning and assessment
A number of teaching and learning approaches are used within this program to develop your capabilities. The approaches used in each course will be appropriate to the core curriculum areas and capability dimensions which are designed to assist you in developing skills as an independent and lifelong learner. The program will achieve these learning outcomes through the consistent and extensive use of updated courseware that has been designed with students’ needs as its central focus.
The major styles of teaching and learning you will experience throughout your program will include, but are not limited to the following:
- Problem-based learning: You may be in a small group or team, or work individually to apply knowledge to solve problems and examine case studies. This technique is designed to simulate the experiences you will encounter working as an industry practitioner.
- Assignments and projects: These may be either research or problem-based, and may be undertaken in teams or individually. They will provide you with experience at undertaking research and reasoning, to write effectively and to present your findings and advice to a range of audiences; and may also require you to provide oral presentations. Assignments and projects are also designed to provide a way to receive feedback on your skills development and be able to utilise this feedback to improve your skills and further develop your capabilities in the relevant area.
- Classroom teaching and/or online Blackboard Collaborate sessions: These sessions utilise a range of teaching and learning techniques including lectures, guest lectures by practitioners, class presentations, group discussion and student-led discussion. This style of learning is designed to provide an environment where you can ask questions and seek feedback as well as contribute to class discussion with your peers. Classes may be offered in intensive mode over weekends or in week-long blocks. You are expected to be responsible for the completion of all out of class learning activities which may require extra reading of both library and online materials.
- Research investigations: You will be assigned a supervisor to oversee your research activities. The supervisor will hold periodic meetings with you on a one-on-one basis to review your progress and research direction. Research outcomes are documented and inspected by the supervisor or panel of experts as the case requires. Research investigations can take many forms, e.g. laboratory testing, literature review, controlled input-output analysis, etc.
- Assessed tutorials or presentations: a form of in-class test, which you will be required to complete either individually or as a team.
- Self-assessment and peer-assessment: for assessment activities such as tutorial questions and presentations of group projects you may be asked to assess your own work, the work of your group, or the work of other groups. This is part of equipping you to become more independent in your own learning and to develop your assessment skills.
- Exams: an individual form of assessment where you are asked to demonstrate your ability to solve problems and to explain principles.
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 Disability Liaison Unit if you would like to find out more.

Top of pageWork 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 in addition
- 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.
Work integrated learning has been incorporated into the following compulsory (core) course:
- AERO2575 Master's Minor Research Project
As part of these courses you will work on a capstone project. These projects either are directly connected with industry or simulate the situation of an engineer in industry reporting to a supervisor with whom they meet regularly. In the cases where the project is directly connected with industry the industry partner is usually involved in some components of the assessment. Industrial practitioners can become involved in the assessment of some component of the work done by students involved in projects that simulate the situation of an engineer in industry.
