Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical Engineering) (Honours)

# Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical Engineering) (Honours) at RMIT

If you're passionate about solving real-world problems and want to build a career that actually matters, the Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical Engineering) (Honours) at RMIT is exactly what you're looking for. This isn't just theory on a whiteboard — it's hands-on engineering that prepares you for the job market from day one.

## Why RMIT's Electrical Engineering Program Stands Out

RMIT's electrical engineering programs go beyond the theory and put concepts in practice. You'll graduate job-ready because the entire program is built around practical application and industry connection. Your education is directly linked to industry needs, which means you're solving actual problems using real processes and skills. This approach ensures that when you step into your first engineering role, you already understand how different industries and workplaces function.

Throughout your four-year degree, you'll develop high-level technical and design skills with the option to specialise in areas like energy conversion, power systems, renewable energy, high-voltage equipment, or control engineering. The program is structured so your first year gives you broad engineering foundations, and from second year onwards, you can focus on your chosen specialisation.

## How You'll Learn: Hands-On Experience Built In

The curriculum combines multiple learning formats to keep you engaged and developing real skills. You'll learn through lectures, seminars, tutorials, workshops, practical and laboratory sessions, and online materials. But here's what makes it different — the program emphasises hands-on laboratory practicals as an integral part, enabling you to put theory into practice. Assessment is continuous throughout each semester, including examinations, essays, reports, presentations, group projects, and practical assignments.

RMIT's industry connections mean you'll work on real-world projects and design creative solutions to actual problems on work placements in Australia or overseas. The university's International Industry Experience and Research Program provides workplace training and academic research placements, giving you authentic industry exposure.

## What You'll Access — Facilities & Support:

- Specialised laboratory equipment designed for active learning and hands-on engineering work
- Work-integrated learning activities that develop your employability skills and practical capabilities
- Real-world project opportunities through industry partnerships where you solve actual engineering challenges
- Workplace placements in Australia or internationally through the International Industry Experience and Research Program
- Collaborative group projects and syndicate work embedded throughout your studies
- Active learning spaces where theory is applied in practice

## Financial Support to Make It Happen

Multiple scholarships are available to support your studies:

- CitiPower Future Women in Electrical Engineering Scholarship: Up to $15,000 for women specialising in electrical or electronic engineering
- BAE Systems Australia William-Hicks Scholarship for Women in Engineering from Regional Australia: Up to $60,000 for women from rural/regional areas
- BAE Systems Australia First Nations Scholarship in Engineering: Up to $40,000 for Indigenous students

If circumstances have interrupted your access to education, RMIT also offers equity access schemes that allow selection officers to give you extra consideration.
