A look back: from the archives

RMIT will celebrate 140 years since its establishment next year - a history that reflects significant change across the engineering profession.

Over this time, we’ve built a global community of alumni, some may even recognise the moments captured in these images.

While engineering practice and education have evolved over the decades, our alumni have played a vital role in driving and navigating this change.
