International opportunities

RMIT encourages you to aspire to a global career, not just a local one, and as an engineering student you’ll have a range of global opportunities.

Through partner organisations in Europe, Asia and the United States, the RMIT International Industry Experience and Research Program (RIIERP) offers workplace training and academic research placements of between six and 12 months.

There are also opportunities to study abroad through Education Abroad.

Electives and program structure

Years 1, 2 and 3

Your first three years will introduce you to the fundamentals of electrical engineering, including mathematics and physics.

All engineering students will also study an Introduction to Engineering course, incorporating a humanitarian-focused Engineers Without Borders Challenge. You’ll have the opportunity to extend this aspect of your studies by completing an Engineers Without Borders elective, enabling you to experience humanitarian engineering first-hand.

The business management component of your studies will include marketing, economics and logistics.

You’ll also complete a work-integrated learning (industry experience) elective in Year 3 or 5.

Years 4 and 5

In your final two years, you'll specialise in electrical energy and power systems and complete two major design projects.

A large portion of your study will be practical work in laboratories and on computers, where you'll use your design and problem-solving skills.

Your final-year (capstone) project will develop and reinforce the skills and knowledge you need - as defined by Engineers Australia - to commence your professional engineering career. You may have the opportunity to present your project at EnGenius, an end of year student showcase event.
