Begin your career in mechanical engineering and industrial design.

You'll gain both the technical and creative skills to design and develop advanced manufactured products.

Industrial design links industry and economy with people, culture, society and environment, while mechanical engineering involves the conversion and control of energy and motion in machinery and systems.

This combined degree allows the integration of these highly complementary disciplines.

You’ll have the opportunity to design creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design-and-build projects, as well as taking part in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge - a humanitarian-focused course offered in all RMIT engineering degrees.

To ensure you graduate job-ready, you’ll also have an opportunity to undertake a work-integrated learning (industry experience) elective.

Across industries, demand is growing for knowledgeable, creative and responsible leaders—people who have both a deep understanding of the latest engineering and technological innovations, as well as the skills to lead teams and organisations.

This degree prepares you to become an engineering manager or director in an engineering or technology-based company, by exploring real-world issues, problems and opportunities—such as risk and feasibility studies, environmental management systems, and international issues—and contextualising it all with contemporary management techniques.

You’ll learn how to develop a commercial proposal to win a major project, design a strategic business plan to improve organisational productivity, and enhance competitive advantage in a rapidly changing technological environment.

Your management skills and expertise will be developed through an exploration of key topics and management techniques, including:

• Managing innovation and change management
• Agile management and adaptive leadership
• Development of customer-orientated organisations
• Effective problem solving
• Technology management
• Challenging established practices and norms
• Strategy development for national and global markets
• Business model development for organisation growth.

The Diploma of Commerce is unlike any other one-year Diploma. It covers the fundamentals of business disciplines at an undergraduate level.

Through your studies in this diploma, you will explore key business subject areas, including accounting, management, information systems, business law, and marketing.

You will connect with high profile brands and get real-world work experience through industry placements, client projects, guest speakers, seminars and events in a friendly and social environment, led by industry-experienced teaching staff.

With RMIT's Bachelor of Engineering (Aerospace Engineering) (Honours), you'll design aircraft and spacecraft, develop propulsion systems, research new materials, test new engines, develop rockets and plan maintenance subjects.

In this internationally recognised degree you'll gain specialist skills in analysing, designing, and operating sophisticated aeronautics and astronautics hardware and software.

You'll study a broad range of areas such as aerodynamics, aerospace materials and structures, aerospace systems, design, dynamics and control, thermodynamics, and propulsion.

Minor options in Aircraft and Spacecraft Technologies will allow you to tailor the degree to suit your areas of interest and enhance your career opportunities.

Sustainability issues are built into multiple areas of the aerospace engineering degree. This increases your employability as there is increasing demand for long-term engineering solutions in this industry. You'll also learn to appreciate the wider social implications of the engineering profession.

You'll have the opportunity to apply your learning in the real world through capstone projects, industry placements, and participation in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge.

The environment faces threats and challenges that include climate change, habitat loss, overpopulation, emerging contaminant and pollution events, and food and water security.

The breadth of these environmental challenges requires a combination of knowledge and skills in chemistry, biology, statistics, research, and earth sciences for an interdisciplinary approach to surmounting these difficulties.

In RMIT's Bachelor of Environmental Science, you will learn about the biogeochemical processes that occur in both natural and degraded environments, and specialise with areas of study like environmental biology, environmental chemistry, geosciences or geospacial sciences.

Over the course of your environmental studies, you will undertake both practical and industry-relevant activities, where you will:

• Gain considerable hands-on experience with equipment, both in the laboratory and in the field
• Undertake frequent field trips during the second and third year
• Work on collaborative projects with industry, gaining hands-on experience.

These activities involve working in small groups to foster teamwork and a collaborative approach to research and projects.
