Overview
Combine your skills for designing solutions to electrical engineering problems with management skills. In this course, your creative engineering skills will be backed up with strategic skills for their implementation. These skills are becoming increasingly important to the energy, resource, manufacturing and design sectors.
You’ll learn the fundamentals of electrical engineering as well as essentials of business management including marketing, economics, and logistics. Engineering solutions often involve project work, and the combined skills of this double degree will provide you with an edge in managing such projects.
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.
Career
You'll have technical skills, innovative approaches to solutions, and the confidence and ability to lead.
Work opportunities exist in government organisations and private companies, both in Australia and overseas.
You could be able to design and supervise projects in the fields of renewable energy, power generation and distribution, industrial and process automation or developing new technologies for transportation.
Our graduates have gone onto work at a range of organisations including:
- AusNet Services
- Powercor Australia
- United Energy
- Vestas
- Beca
- Schneider Electric
- ABB
- Greensync
- Metro Trains
- Robert Bosch
- Woodside Energy
You could also choose to start your own business, delivering services in your specialist area.
You must have successfully completed an Australian Year 12 (or equivalent senior secondary school qualification) with a minimum 65% average (check calculator below).
Equivalent qualifications may also include completion of the RMIT Foundation Studies program or a recognized 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.
If you don't meet the entry requirements, there may be other RMIT programs you are eligible for that can lead you to your preferred program. Explore your pathway options.
