About

Overview

Enter the field of mechanical engineering with business.

Be prepared for entrepreneurial and managerial roles in industry. Mechanical engineering involves the conversion and control of energy and motion in machinery and systems.

Mechanical engineers design, analyse and improve products as diverse as refrigerators, washing machines, solar water heaters, pumps, engines, compressors, wind turbines and air-conditioning systems. They apply knowledge of materials, structures, energy and management to the solution of technical problems.

Management involves the planning, organising, coordination and direction of the resources of organisations. Managers draw on technical skills as diverse as accounting and organisational behaviour and build on personal abilities including analysis and leadership.

Many engineers quickly move into positions of management within organisations. This double degree will give you an advantage, allowing you to advance into positions of responsibility and influence. A business degree will prepare you to operate in complex organisational and economic systems, often associated with large engineering projects.

As part of this degree 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.

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

Years 1 and 2

In your first two years, you'll study basic mechanical engineering and science courses. These are aimed at developing competence in essential analytical problem-solving skills and design capabilities.

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.

In these years, you will be exposed to the fundamentals of engineering sciences, mathematics, engineering design, and engineering professional practice.

Year 3

You will focus on business skills studying areas such as marketing, commercial lab, economics, ethics and international business.

Years 4 and 5

In the final years of the degree, specialist mechanical elective courses are offered in various streams of expertise.

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. You may have the opportunity to present your project at EnGenius, an end of year student showcase event.

You’ll also complete a work-integrated learning (industry experience) elective in Year 5.

You’ll also consolidate your business studies through advanced management studies.

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

Job opportunities exist for graduates within the automotive and transport industries; petrochemical and mineral processing industries; energy supply; building services; defence forces; government; or general engineering and consultancy organisations.

Beyond work as a technical specialist, this double degree will also help propel you towards management roles in your early career.
