Bachelor of Engineering (Sustainable Systems Engineering) (Honours)

Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology

About

The overall objective of the Bachelor of Engineering (Sustainable Systems Engineering) (Honours) is for graduates to be employable and effective sustainable systems engineers in national and international contexts.

The program is designed to prepare you for a wide range of career possibilities by developing graduate attributes which will be of on-going benefit to you, industry and society as a whole.The first two years of the program are focused on development of the sustainable systems approach.

You will also be exposed to fundamentals of engineering sciences, mathematics, engineering design, and professional practice.

In the final years of the program, and especially year 4, you will have the opportunity to study vairous specialisations - all taught with a sustainable systems engineering focus.The program is designed to provide you with a number of opportunities for industrial interaction and the academic staff members teaching the program are engineering practitioners with expertise in the specialisations.You'll learn how to protect, restore and create engineered and natural systems that are socially, environmentally, and economically sustainable.You will undertake a capstone experience in the final year courses OENG1167 Engineering Capstone Project Part A and OENG1168 Engineering Capstone Project Part B, in which you will conduct a research project that can be analytical, experimental, design or computational in nature (or some combination of these).This program is primarily delivered in face-to-face mode at the City and Bundoora Campuses.
