Abstract
In this chapter, blended learning initiatives put forward by the Western Sydney University for engineering units are discussed emphasizing students' and lecturers' perceptions. One aim of this initiative is to provide a flexible student-centered learning environment for those who may not be able to attend lectures regularly due to work commitments, utilizing the technology in terms of recorded lectures and tutorials. Based on the feedback from students and lecturers, this research investigates how far we can move away from traditional face-to-face teacher-centered education, while meeting professional competencies set out by Engineers Australia and achieving unit learning outcomes.
