Master of Engineering (Micro

The purpose of the Master of Engineering (Micro-Nano Engineering) is to provide students with advanced training in 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 2015).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.

To facilitate research through the Major Project offering and to promote further research as a natural outcome of successfully completing the program.The program will prepare you for a career in the design of devices or systems 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 rapidly emerging area of biomedical device engineering.You will undertake a capstone experience in the final year course EEET2435 MicroNanoEngineering Major Project, in which you will conduct an independent research project that can be analytical, experimental, design or computational in nature (or some combination).The program is delivered in face-to-face mode at the City campus.

All courses listed may not be available each semester.
