Overview
You’ll be equipped to manage the technical and professional challenges in the growing area of mechanical engineering and biotechnology.
As part of this course you'll develop design, creativity and intellectual discipline skills, and be ready to practice as a high-level engineer in the field of mechanical engineering. You’ll also be equipped with skills in genetic engineering, industrial microbiology, molecular agriculture, bioinformatics, and regulatory, ethical and legal issues in biotechnology.
Take 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
Upon graduation you’ll be well equipped to deal with both technical and professional challenges in the fields of mechanical engineering and biotechnology.
Careers are available in design, manufacturing and testing in government and commercial organisations. Significant opportunities are also anticipated in processing industries such as fermentation, food, cell products, and vaccines both in Australia and overseas.
You must have successfully completed an Australian Year 12 (or equivalent senior secondary school qualification) with a minimum 70% 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.
