4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program
RMIT UniversityRMIT Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) (Honours) is a 4-year undergraduate degree that strikes a balance between deep theoretical insights and hands-on experience. The program aims to promote innovative problem-solvers with the ability to solve authentic engineering challenges. RMIT mechanical engineering goes beyond text books—it not only educates students how to design, construct, and maintain systems and machines but also how these are used across industries such as aerospace, automotive, energy, and manufacturing.
Curriculum Structure
RMIT's mechanical engineering program is structured to gradually build a strong base prior to working on specialist, industry-related knowledge. Students can expect:
Year 1–2 Foundation: Foundation mathematics, physics, materials science, thermodynamics, and mechanics study
Year 3–4 Advanced Application: Advanced topics that cover fluid mechanics, dynamics, CAD, mechatronics, and system design
Design & Innovation Projects: Studio-based learning and design courses with real-world engineering situations replicated
Capstone Project: Students, in their last year, undertake a substantial team project with industry problems, integrating technical competence, innovation, and teamwork
The program also encourages elective choices to enable students to tailor learning towards robotics, automotive systems, or renewable energy
Accreditation
This program is fully accredited by Engineers Australia, guaranteeing it's consistent with national and international standards. Its graduates are employable in Australia and abroad as professional engineers.
Campus Location
RMIT is located in Melbourne, one of Australia's most liveable cities. Our City campus, right in the heart of the CBD, boasts state-of-the-art labs, high-technology workshops, and facilities that foster collaborative learning and innovation.
Practical experience is at the forefront of RMIT's vision for engineering. Real-world issues are addressed by students through:
Industry Placements: RMIT has strong associations with corporations such as Ford, Boeing, Siemens, and Toyota, and students gain access to work-integrated learning and internships.
Research Opportunities: Undergraduate students have the opportunity to participate in research projects, often related to sustainability, renewable energy, or smart systems.
Clubs & Competitions: Students can be part of clubs like RMIT Racing, Formula SAE, or Robotics Club and work on real machines to go for national or international competitions.
Global Experience: Students can study abroad or be involved in international engineering projects through RMIT Global Mobility.
RMIT Career and Employability service is available throughout your study journey:
One-on-one career guidance
