Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)

The purpose of this program is to provide you with a foundational first year designed to expose you to the fundamentals of engineering science, engineering mathematics, engineering design and engineering professional practice.

You will gain a breadth of engineering skills and knowledge and, through a selection of optional courses, experience a range of engineering specialisations.Upon the successful completion of this first year, you will make an informed decision about which specialised engineering degree you will transition into for the completion of your studies.

You will be provided with recommended study pathways to help ensure completion of your degree in a further 3 years (i.e.

four years in total, including this foundational year).

Deviations from this advice may impact your time to completion, as may other factors.This program will deliver learning experiences that provide you, as a graduate of an RMIT engineering program, with the knowledge and skills essential for a professional career in engineering in one of the following branches:Aerospace engineering Automotive engineering Biomedical engineering Civil and Infrastructure engineering Chemical engineering Computer and network engineering Electrical, electronic and telecommunications engineering Environmental engineering Mechanical engineering Manufacturing engineering Mechatronics engineering Sustainable systems engineeringOn graduation from an RMIT engineering program, you will be ready to take up employment in engineering and related industries.

The related industries include resources, defence and primary industries.This program requires in-person attendance, but also takes advantage of the capabilities of the online learning management system and provides scope for collaboration and remote access.

All courses listed may not be available each semester.

Year One

Students may enter the degree of their choice regardless of the option courses selected, however they will need to follow advised combinations to enable their completion within 4 years, assuming successful completion of the required courses. Failing to pass any courses may also cause delay in completion, as it would in any other program.

Complete the following Five (5) Courses:

If you have not completed VCE Maths Methods or VCE Specialist Maths or equivalent, you must complete the following course:

If you are required to complete Introduction to Engineering Mathematics, complete only Two (2) of the option courses below. If you are not required to complete Introduction to Engineering Mathematics, complete Three (3) of the option courses below:

AND

Year Two

Enrolment program structures for year two and beyond will be dependent on the choice of engineering specialisation made at the end of year one.

Program entry requirements
