Bachelor of Engineering - Sustainable Systems Engineering (Honours) / Bachelor of Business - Management

RMIT University

Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00122A

Most engineers move into management within five years of graduation. This double degree gives you the ideal preparation for this career transition.You’ll undertake core studies in sustainable systems engineering, bringing together the new technologies and innovative engineering approaches we need for sustainable global development. You can specialise in energy, transport and logistics or materials.

Structure

Years 1, 2 and 3You'll focus on the development of a sustainable systems approach. This brings together the fundamentals of engineering sciences, mathematics, engineering design and engineering professional practice.All engineering students will also study an Introduction to Engineering course, incorporating a humanitarian-focused Engineers Without Borders Challenge. You’ll have the opportunity to extend this aspect of your studies by completing a Humanitarian Engineering elective, enabling you to experience humanitarian engineering first-hand.You’ll also gain business skills through studies management, accounting, marketing and commercial law.You’ll be able to complete a work-integrated learning (industry experience) elective in Year 2, 3, 4 or 5.Years 4 and 5In later years of the degree, you may take specialist electives in energy, transport and logistics, and materials.Your final-year (capstone) project will develop and reinforce the skills and knowledge you need - as defined by Engineers Australia - to commence your professional engineering career. You may have the opportunity to present your project at EnGenius, an end of year student showcase event.
