  1. Industry Relevant Project based Work Integrated Learning - IRPBWIL Presenter: Gita Pendharkar Collaborator: Sukhvir Judge School of Engineering (TAFE) RMIT University Melbourne 26/11/2010

  2. Aims & Objectives • 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 Information Technology Services

  3. 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 Information Technology Services

  4. IRPB ‘WIL’ Model 1 – ARTL 2008Linking the Theoretical and Practical Domain to Enhance Work Integrated Learning This was the model introduced in the Advanced Diploma Programs 1 Semester Single Project 2nd Year Sem 2 Course 1 2nd Year Sem 2 Course 2 Module 1 Competencies of Course 1 & Course 2 were mapped to a single Project Module Project – An FIR Filter was implemented using a DSP chip Information Technology Services

  5. IRPB ‘WIL’ Model 1 – ARTL 2008 More effective learning time for Both Courses DSP Actual Contact Hours 72 µP Increased Learning Time 160 DSP Increased Learning Time 120 µP Actual Contact Hours 160 Information Technology Services

  6. 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 Information Technology Services

  7. 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 Information Technology Services

  9. IRPB ‘WIL’ Model 2 – LTIF 2009Industry Relevant Project based Work Integrated Learning This was the model introduced in the Associate Degree Programs 2 Years Single Project Module 1 Module 2 Module 3 1st Year Courses 2nd Year Courses Module 4 Module 5 Module 6 Competencies of some of the 1st Year courses were mapped to Module 1 and Module 2 Competencies of most of the 2nd Year courses were mapped to Module 3, Module 4, Module 5 and Module 6 Information Technology Services

  10. IRPB ‘WIL’ Model 2 – LTIF 2009 Information Technology Services

  11. IRPB ‘WIL’ Model 2 – LTIF 2009 Ensuring relevancy to Industry practices • Series of meetings with Industry partners 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 Information Technology Services

  12. IRPB ‘WIL’ Model 2 – LTIF 2009 Results and Conclusionof WIL Model 2 • Industry relevant project-based work integrated learning increased the confidence of the students • Students had a better understanding of integrating the knowledge in various courses. • Students' learning experience was improved • Teaching time was more effectively utilised • Introduced Industry relevant learning • Increased Student Employability Skills • Articulating Students won Awards in Higher Education • Model implemented in other Associate Degree Programs in the School Information Technology Services

  13. IRPB ‘WIL’ Model 3 – 2010 Industry Relevant Project based Work Integrated Learning Multiple Projects This was the model introduced in the Advanced Diploma Programs Module 1 Module 2 2nd Year Sem 1 Courses 2nd Year Sem 2 Courses 1 Year Project 1 Non-Articulating Module 3 Module 1 Module 2 2nd Year Sem 1 Courses 2nd Year Sem 2 Courses 1 Year Project 2 Articulating Module 3 Module 4 Project 1: Less Complex, Designing issues was explained to the students, Industry Standard Maintained Project 2: More Complex, to address the small Design problems Information Technology Services

  14. IRPB ‘WIL’ Model 3 – 2010 Ensuring relevancy to Industry practices • Series of meetings with different Industry partners to determine the type of skills needed at their work place • Opinion was sought on the proposed project before and after the project was finalised • Finally the projects was assessed and evaluated based on the industry feedback for further improvements Information Technology Services

  15. IRPB ‘WIL’ Model 3 – 2010 Results and Conclusion of WIL Model 3 • Industry relevant project-based work integrated learning increased the confidence of the students • Students had a better understanding of integrating the knowledge in various courses. • Students' learning experience was improved • Teaching time was more effectively utilised • Introduced Industry relevant learning • Model implemented in other Associate Degree Programs in the School • Increased Student Employability Skills • Articulating and Non-Articulating Students were employed by Industry • Articulating Students won Awards and Scholarships Information Technology Services

  16. IRPB ‘WIL’ Future Model – 2011 Industry Relevant Project based Work Integrated Learning 2nd Year Sem 1 Courses 2nd Year Sem 2 Courses Module 1 Module 2 Module 3 Project 1 1 Year Non-Articulating Module 1 Module 2 2nd Year Sem 2 Courses Project 2 1 Year Articulating in 2nd Year 2nd Year Sem 1 Courses Module 3 Module 4 Module 1 Module 2 Module 3 Project 3 2 Years Articulating in 3rd Year 2nd Year Sem 1 Courses 2nd Year Sem 2 Courses 3rd Year Design Course Module 4 Module 5 Module 6 Project 1: Less Complex, Industry Standard Maintained Project 2: Slightly Complex, to address simpler designing issues Project 3: More Complex Design to address the major Design and Development. Flexibility to extend further in the 3rd Year if possible. Information Technology Services

  17. IRPB ‘WIL’ Model 3 – 2010 Ensuring relevancy to Industry practices Collaborate with 3 Different Categories of Industry Sectors • Series of meetings will be held with 3 different Industry partners to determine the type of skills needed at their work place • Opinion will be sought on the proposed project before and after implementing the project • Finally the projects will be assessed and evaluated based on the industry feedback for further improvements Industry 1 Industry 2 Industry 3 Enhance Industry Collaboration Information Technology Services
