EnGenius

All students studying a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) at RMIT complete a year-long engineering capstone project in their final year to create innovative engineering solutions to real-world problems.

Student exhibiting at EnGenius 2019.

You’ll work either in a group or individually on a project which may be industry-based. Projects may be discipline-specific or cross-disciplinary.

During the Engineering Capstone Project Part A course, you’ll focus on analysing the problem and planning the solution. In Engineering Capstone Project Part B, you’ll create the plan and manufacture a tangible deliverable (where appropriate) and test and verify the solution.

Your projects will be uploaded to an online platform where industry judges will be able to provide feedback on projects. This provides you with an opportunity to develop work-ready presentation skills and the opportunity to connect with industry experts who are looking for the next generation of engineering talent.

For the top rated projects, an event will be undertaken so live presentations will be undertaken and presented to industry. A prize will be available for the best rated project on the day. 

Detailed information for students undertaking Engineering Capstone Project Part B is available on Canvas.
