About

Overview

This degree combines the latest in mechatronics technologies, systems engineering and additive manufacturing with international business studies and high-level financial and economic analysis.

You'll learn to design, build and operate smart systems relevant to the aerospace, automotive, food processing and electronics industries, and oversee the development of large-scale, global manufacturing facilities.

With knowledge and skills in engineering and business, you will be uniquely placed to succeed within the globalised engineering economy. You'll graduate ready to work in leading national and international companies. This degree will prepare you for a wide range of career possibilities. You'll be able to work across positions within the engineering industry as a technical expert who appreciates the financial side of technology innovation.

As an RMIT graduate, you'll demonstrate skills across engineering, mechatronics, design, finance and global businesses and be able to communicate your unique ideas to others, as well as continue to learn as a professional engineer.

Your studies will include electronic system design, machine intelligence and robotics - combined with finance, the global economy and business management. You will be able to take a broader view of engineering systems, utilising your knowledge of markets and management.

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.

Why study Advanced Manufacturing and Mechatronics Engineering and International Business at RMIT?

RMIT University is ranked in the top 10 universities in Oceania for engineering, and the top 15 in business management studies. ^{[QS rankings by subject 2022]}

Get involved in high-tech manufacturing processes and the manufacturing of high-tech products and have the financial know-how to consider technological innovation and commercialisation.

Access to specialised facilities

You'll have access to state-of-the-art facilities such as the Advanced Manufacturing Precinct which combines RMIT's expertise in technology and design innovation.

Prepare yourself for employment

Be work-ready when you graduate. Tackle research projects in partnership with industry, like the Engineers Without Borders Challenge Scholarship.

Hands-on learning experiences

Through hands-on learning and workplace experience, you'll have the opportunity to work in design and development teams, as is expected in many industries.

The knowledge and skills you will acquire throughout this degree and how they can be applied in your career are described in the learning outcomes.

Electives and course plan

Year 1

You'll study a mix of courses in basic engineering sciences and business principles.

All engineering students will also study an Introduction to Engineering course, incorporating a humanitarian-focused Engineers Without Borders Challenge. You’ll have the opportunity to extend this aspect of your studies by completing an Engineers Without Borders elective, enabling you to experience humanitarian engineering first-hand.

Years 2 and 3

You'll complete courses in areas such as electronics, computing, mechatronics, economics and the international market.

Year 4

You'll deepen your knowledge in mechatronics engineering by studying automatic control, automated system design, autonomous and intelligent systems, advanced robotics, advanced manufacturing systems, and advanced materials. You will also develop experience in the computer simulation and analysis of manufacturing systems, and learn to design processes , as well as have an understanding of the critical nature of inventory control in engineering. Your business studies will allow you to work across the business side of engineering, allowing you a greater potential to implement new engineering design solutions.

You’ll also complete a work-integrated learning (industry experience) elective in Year 2, 3 or 4.

Year 5

Your final-year (capstone) project will develop and reinforce the skills and knowledge you need - as defined by Engineers Australia - to commence your professional engineering career. The project allows you to demonstrate your knowledge of creating new mechatronics systems and applying your business knowledge to explore new markets for your innovation. You may also have the opportunity to present your project at EnGenius, an end of year student showcase event.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

You must have successfully completed an Australian Year 12 or an equivalent senior secondary school qualification with a minimum average of 70% (see calculator below).

Equivalent qualifications may also include completion of the RMIT Foundation Studies program or a recognised post secondary diploma in the relevant discipline with the required grades.

Meeting the minimum academic requirements does not guarantee entry. Your application will still need to be assessed and accepted.

Career

Opportunities for advanced manufacturing and mechatronics engineers are as diverse as the manufacturing industry itself. Graduates with engineering and international business skills will advance their careers quickly and may find work in multinational companies in supply chain and procurement.

Areas of employment are broad and may include the automotive and aerospace industries, the food and beverage industry and engineering and management consultancies. As a graduate within these organisations, you may take on roles such as project manager, production manager and director of operations.
