Bachelor of Science(Physics)/Bachelor of Engineering(Telecommunications Engineering)(Honours)

Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology

Telecommunications engineers design, build and manage systems that transfer, store and manage information via radio frequency transmission, optical fibres or some other form of wave transmission. telecommunications systems can employ a wide range of technologies, including optical fibre communication systems, radio systems (such as mobile phones and WiFi), cable systems and satellite communications. These systems and technologies can also be applied to a range of civilian and defence applications such as radar, weather monitoring, radio frequency identification, provision of services such as voice, video and streaming services over the internet and sensor networks.Within the telecommunications engineering field, there are communication (or radio frequency) engineers and network engineers. Communication engineers focus on the specification, design and maintenance of the physical communication links and circuits and components such as antennas, transmitters and receivers, RF and microwave circuits, optical devices and optical fibres. Network engineers concern themselves with how individual communication systems are combined together to create integrated networks, how to manage the flow of information through such networks and how to deliver internet and data services over these networks.

Bachelor of Environmental Science/Bachelor of Engineering (Environmental Engineering) (Honours)

Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology

Engineers and scientists in the 21st century must integrate the social, environmental and economic demands with the technical possibilities of each new challenge. They must be effective problem identifiers, skilled in quantitative analysis and effective decision makers and problems solvers who can maximise the benefits of each project while satisfying all stakeholders. They work in teams and rely on effective communication processes to achieve their work. They work in a rapidly changing world where ongoing learning is a key ingredient of their work. Globalisation is an important part of that world. An understanding of, and appreciation for, other cultures is an essential part of the social dimension of both science and engineering. Most importantly, they have a responsibility to themselves to maintain their own quality of life through their career and their relationships within the profession and in the wider community.This Bachelor of Environmental Science/Bachelor of Engineering (Environmental Engineering) (Honours) is designed to produce graduates who are skilled as both scientists and engineers, who can bridge the divide between the two professions, to provide real world solutions to actual or potential environmental problems.
