Overview
Begin your career in mechanical engineering and industrial design. You'll gain both the technical and creative skills to design and develop advanced manufactured products.
Industrial design links industry and economy with people, culture, society and environment, while mechanical engineering involves the conversion and control of energy and motion in machinery and systems.
This combined degree allows the integration of these highly complementary disciplines.
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
Graduates of this degree will be ready for work in mechanical and industrial design areas such as biomedical, automotive, and elector-mechanical product design.
Graduates have found that the combination of lateral thinking and creative problem-solving fostered by the Industrial Design courses, with the design rigour and logical frameworks of the Mechanical Design Degree, are a valuable combination for employers.
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.
