RMIT University
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00122A
Learn how electricity and electronics work and how to build and maintain devices, while being entrepreneurial in your engineering activities. You'll work on projects in the design, development, production, maintenance and operation of all things to do with electricity. You'll develop the skills to design and develop electrical systems for the generation, distribution and control of electric power, as well as electronic systems used for computing, communications, industry and entertainment. You'll also develop knowledge that is vital to managerial capabilities in the global business environment and learn how to be entrepreneurial in your engineering activities. By undertaking a double degree you will enhance your engineering design activities by using business and entrepreneurial techniques to be innovative and creative in your design projects. As a graduate you'll be better prepared to develop new products and/or start new businesses.
Structure
Years 1 to 3 You'll learn the fundamentals of electrical and electronic engineering, mathematics, physics, and business entrepreneurship tailored for electrical and electronic engineers. Project work will put your knowledge of engineering methods into practice and develop your high-level technical and design skills. You will gain communication, teamwork and leadership skills, and learn how to transmit knowledge, skills and ideas to others. Years 4 and 5 You'll specialise in electrical and electronic engineering and business entrepreneurship. Compulsory courses in engineering will start with a group engineering design project and research methods for engineers, leading to a major individual engineering design project in the final year related closely to industry to demonstrate high levels of technical competence and organisational skills as well as to exercise enterprise skills.
