Approach to learning and assessment

This program is primarily delivered in blended mode, which includes a combination of online, self-directed and some face-to-face activities, at the Hanoi Campus and is likely to include lectures, tutorials, workshops, and labs. 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.

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. 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 assessments.

Inherent requirements
The following information on inherent requirements outlines the tasks you will be required to undertake during professional placement and on-campus learning activities. The non-academic abilities listed are provided for information only and are not entry requirements.

If there are any activities outlined which may be difficult for you to undertake, there are a range of adjustments to your study conditions available to enable and support you to demonstrate these abilities. Please contact the Equitable Learning Service to discuss any adjustments you may require.

Please read the full list of inherent requirements which are identical to the Bachelor of Engineering (Electronic and Computer Systems Engineering) (Honours) inherent requirements.

By understanding the types of activities you’ll participate in, you can:

• understand more about the program
• determine if you may need support during your studies
• make an informed decision about whether the program is suitable for you

Please note that if you have a disability, long-term medical condition and/ or mental health condition ELS can support you to create reasonable adjustments to ensure you can participate in your studies. You can contact the Equitable Learning Services (ELS) unit if you would like to find out more. Information about ELS can be found at: https://www.rmit.edu.vn/students/support/wellbeing-support/equitable-learning-service.

The University considers the wellbeing and safety of all students, staff, and the community to be a priority in on-campus learning and professional experience settings.

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 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 environment.

In this program you will be doing specific courses 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:

• OENG1263 Introduction to Professional Engineering Practice where you will participate in an "Engineers Without Borders (EWB)" project which is focussed on sustainable development as identified by EWB and community organisations.
• OENG1267 Engineering Capstone Project Part B where you will work under the guidance of a professional engineer who may be from industry or be an academic or research staff member. You will apply your technical knowledge, research, design and professional engineering skills to either discipline specific, or cross disciplinary engineering problems, through robust research and established engineering design processes.

In these WIL courses, you will interact with organisations (industry, government and community) through discipline relevant projects and activities. These interactions and the work context provide a distinctive source of feedback to you to assist your learning.

Please note: students may be required to undertake additional screening/compliance checks as advised by Government, Industry or RMIT University as the need arises. If applicable, further information will be provided once enrolment has been completed. 

Engineering Professional Practice Module

If you are a student commencing a higher education engineering coursework degree from Semester 1 2024, completing the Engineering Professional Practice (EPP) module will be a requirement for graduation. This applies to all students in all locations. Students commencing before Semester 1 2024 may opt into the module. The EPP module will help you to prepare for a career as a fully accredited professional engineer. Completing the module will showcase your sound proficiencies in engineering knowledge, applications of engineering processes, professional skills and values that align with the competencies expected from a professional engineer in the workplace. This will be through a whole-of-program embedded e-portfolio that captures artefacts and reflection on learning for the purpose of professional accreditation, career development learning and employability.

The EPP module is ongoing throughout your degree, providing continuous development and requires you to complete a minimum number of hours of engineering-related activities. 420 hours are required for bachelor students. Articulating and masters students will complete a number of hours in proportion to the number of years of study in their offer letter. The total hours can comprise a combination of work, volunteering, roles in clubs, organisations and events, and professional development activities.

RMIT will support you in completing your EPP module by providing opportunities to participate in engineering-related activities. You will receive an annual summary statement documenting your achievements and verifying your continual professional development throughout your degree. The summary statement can be used as supporting material for job applications.

For further details on EPP, please contact RMIT Student Connect.

In addition to these courses, you will also work as an intern in one of our industry partners as part of our OENG1268 Professional Engineering Experience. Enrolling in OENG1268 means that you will be responsible for sourcing your engineering 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 final year of the program, but it can be taken at other times to align with your placement.

If you are already employed in a position that involves engineering work under the supervision of a qualified practising engineer, this can be assessed to determine if it would be an appropriate placement to support enrolment in OENG1268 Professional Engineering Practice.

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.
