Graduate Diploma in Engineering (Micro
Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology
About
The purpose of the program is to provide students with an introduction to the field of Micro-Nano Engineering.
The program has micro- and nano-engineering course offerings covering fundamentals, design, fabrication, and applications to provide students with a cohesive and comprehensive learning experience.
The program structure is underpinned by a very strong research focus, multidisciplinary scope, and established research strengths in the disciplines related to micro- and nano-engineering at RMIT University which have been rated as above world standard (Excellence in Research for Australia 2012).The program objectives are:To develop a graduate’s knowledge of MicroNano engineering from fundamentals all the way to applications by providing design, simulation, and hands-on micro/nano-fabrication experiences.
To provide a pathway for graduates from other engineering and appropriate science degrees to articulate into Micro Nano Engineering.The program will prepare you for a career in the design of devices employing Micro-Nano Engineering fabrication techniques and also for a career in the development or management of such fabrication facilities in either a research or manufacturing context.
Possible areas of employment are in the semiconductor industry or in the emerging area of biomedical device engineering.

Learning outcomes
Graduates will have the following capabilities:
- High levels of technical competence in the field
- Be able to apply problem solving approaches to work challenges and make decisions using sound engineering methodologies
- Be able to apply a systematic design approach to engineering projects and have strong design skills in the chosen discipline specialisation
- Communicate effectively across all modes: listen, speak, write and draw
- Apply the principles of lifelong learning to any new challenge
- Balance the technical, economic, social and ethical demands of a problem in sustainable and culturally sensitive ways
These graduate attributes align closely to the generic attributes of professional engineers as identified by Engineers Australia.
