Industry Relevant Project based Work Integrated Learning - IRPBWIL
RMIT University©2008 Information Technology Services 2
• Introduce Work Integrated Learning (WIL) in the Advanced Diploma and
Associate Degree Programs
• Introduce Industry Relevant Projects as a part of WIL in the Advanced
Diploma and Associate Degree Programs
• Integrate knowledge from multiple courses in the Programs
• Enhance independent learning strategies for students
• Improve student’s learning experience
• Improve the quality of teaching
• Develop and sustain students’ interest in engineering courses through
projects
• Incorporate latest technology in the curriculum
• Strengthen industry links and improve employability rate in industry
• Address skills shortage in Electro technology industry
Aims & Objectives

Why Industry Relevant Project based WIL?
Project Based Learning for Engineering Students
• Projects integrate multiple courses and provide holistic and system approach to engineering studies
• Projects can be designed to promote flexible delivery, team approach and enhance individual (independent) learning
Industry Relevant Project
• Skill shortage can be directly addressed
• Ensure that industry standards are maintained in the curriculum
• Incorporate latest technology in the curriculum
• Enhance industry collaborations
• Workplace environment can be provided in the classroom/ laboratory
• International students can get an exposure of current industry projects
• Produce more work ready graduates

IRPB ‘WIL’ Model 1 – ARTL 2008
Ensuring relevancy to Industry practices
• Industry was contacted to determine the type of skills needed at their work place
• Opinion was sought on the proposed project before the project was finalised
• Finally the project was assessed and evaluated based on the industry feedback for further improvements

IRPB ‘WIL’ Model 1 – ARTL 2008
Results and Conclusion of WIL Model 1
• Integrative-styled project-based learning increased the confidence level of the students
• Students had a better understanding of applying the theoretical knowledge in practice.
• Students' learning experience was improved
Steve Brick was our student who was the only candidate chosen out of 800 other graduate by Ericsson
• Teaching time was more effectively utilised
• Introduced Industry relevant learning
