Bachelor of Engineering (Adv Manufacturing & Mechatronics)(Hons)/Bachelor of Business(Intern Bus)

RMIT offers a variety of learning and teaching approaches including lectures, seminars, workshops, presentations, group discussions, and syndicate work.

You'll have access to online resources through the myRMIT student portal.

Ongoing assessment throughout the semester includes examinations, essays, reports, oral classes, presentations, group projects, research projects, laboratory projects and practical assignments.

In the final year of your studies you'll undertake a major project that is either industry-based or simulates an industrial situation. Combining and further developing the key theoretical and practical knowledge necessary for your field - as defined by Engineers Australia - you’ll work with industry leaders to solve a project challenge.

Before graduating from this program, you are strongly encouraged to complete a minimum 12 weeks of engineering industry experience. This allows you to gain first-hand experience in an engineering practice environment under the supervision of a practising professional engineer. The nature and timing of this engineering experience can take a range of forms.

Opportunities exist for an overseas work placement of between six and 12 months (this satisfies the work experience requirement). These placements are normally taken during a one-year break in the middle or at the end of the third year of the degree.

RMIT's strong industry partnerships provide valuable connections and directly influence our degrees. Programs and teaching are also shaped by an industry-led Program Advisory Committee. This ensures you'll always be learning the most relevant and in-demand skills needed in the workplace.

Graduates with engineering and international business skills will advance their careers quickly and may find work in multinational companies as executives insupply chain and procurement.

Engineering-related roles include project manager, production manager and director of operations.

Professional recognition and accreditation

This program is fully accredited by Engineers Australia. Graduates of the program are eligible for graduate membership of Engineers Australia. Full membership as a professional engineer may be obtained after an appropriate period of professional practice.

Australia is one of 15 countries that are signatories to the International Engineering Alliance, also known as the Washington Accord, for professional engineers. Once it is fully accredited, graduates with this qualification will be recognised in all countries that are signatories to the Accord.

By selecting appropriate studies, graduates of the business program may be able to obtain professional membership of the Australian Human Resources Institute or CPA Australia.

RMIT encourages you to aspire to a global career, not just a local one, and as an engineering student you’ll have a range of global opportunities.

Through partner organisations in Europe, Asia and the United States, the RMIT International Industry Experience and Research Program (RIIERP) offers workplace training and academic research placements of between six and 12 months.

Student exchange programs are available with overseas universities such as Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

There are also opportunities to study abroad through Education Abroad.
