Be equipped with the the knowledge and skills you will need to apply and manage blockchain in public and private enterprises, through multi-disciplinary study.

In RMIT's Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical Engineering) (Honours), you'll learn the processes behind the production and distribution of electricity.

Electrical engineering at RMIT is about more than just learning the theories behind the discipline. It's about putting those theories into practice to solve problems. You’ll learn the skills necessary to make useful products and provide quality services by spending time on experiments in laboratory classes and designing projects.

In this professionally accredited degree, you’ll learn to design, develop and supervise the manufacture, installation, operation and maintenance of electrical systems. You’ll also work on systems for the generation, distribution, utilisation, and control of electric power, electronic and control systems used for various domestic and industrial applications.

You’ll develop high-level technical and design skills and focus on a specialist area such as energy conversion, power systems, renewable energy, high-voltage equipment and control engineering. 

Work integrated learning opportunities will provide you with real world experience. You’ll design creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design-and-build projects, take part in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge, complete industry capstone projects and undertake work placements in Australia or overseas. 

This degree will provide you with the foundation research skills that will support your future career as a scientist or researcher.

• Specifically, you will develop:
• communication skills
• critical thinking capability
• advanced knowledge within your chosen discipline
• knowledge of research practice and skills
• research independence and capacity for self-directed learning.
• Research experience is required for most academic and research positions, and increasingly for positions in other sectors.

In consultation with your discipline honours coordinator and your supervisor, you'll be allocated a project to develop your skills to an advanced level.

Focus on the practical and technical application of design skills, and create innovative, sustainable designs for domestic and commercial-scale building projects. 

Learn about building design from the ground up as you explore topics covering

• Innovative and sustainable design
• Innovative digital applications
• Problem-solving
• Structural and construction technology
• Project documentation
• Architectural project administration
• Construction processes
• Environmental sustainability and design
• Materials technology
• Building services
• Communicating and working with stakeholders
• Associated planning and building regulation codes and standards.

You’ll build the right skills to communicate and work effectively with a variety of stakeholders, including regulatory authorities and a wide range of consultants associated with the design, construction and building services.

Throughout your studies and beyond, you’ll have opportunities to contribute to the ongoing development of the building industry and the built environment.

Day-to-day, you can expect to be involved in working to client briefs, preparing architectural drawings and building specifications and visiting building sites for analysis and investigation. You’ll also analyse bushfire attack levels, environmental factors, liaise with engineers, quantity surveyors, building surveyors and planning professionals and working to local council codes, by-laws and national regulations.

The Business (Honours) degree is designed for high achieving individuals with the potential to undertake independent research.
