Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) (Honours)
RMIT University
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00122A
Mechanical engineering involves the planning, design and development of machinery, solving problems and improving the machines used in everyday life. The Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) (Honours) will provide you with the skills to become a professional and highly employable mechanical engineer, within a national and international context. In the first two years of this internationally accredited degree, youll learn the fundamentals of engineering sciences, mathematics, engineering design and engineering professional practice. As you progress, youll customise your degree by focusing your studies in the general field of mechanical engineering or other areas such as manufacturing, automotive, business, mathematics or computing. Youll have the opportunity to design creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design-and-build projects, as well as taking part in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge a humanitarian-focused subject offered in all RMIT engineering degrees. Your final-year capstone project will enable you to integrate, critically reflect on and consolidate what you have learnt in your degree.
