Australian Learning and Teaching Council Limited

The learning outcome statements developed describe the minimum or threshold learning outcomes that all graduates of an Australian bachelor award in building and construction are expected to have met or exceeded. These standards were developed as part of a demonstration project funded by the Australian Government in 2010-11 and facilitated by the Australian Learning and Teaching Council. Academic institutions and teachers, professional bodies, accreditation bodies, employers and graduates participated in the development of minimum threshold learning outcomes for the discipline. The Building and Construction Academic Standards Statement covers the key themes of: knowledge, judgement, self-development, communication, innovation and engagement.
