Get a head start in sustainable systems and industrial design in this degree.

You’ll learn holistic approaches to the design of sustainable technologies and engineering systems for global development in the sustainable systems engineering component of this degree. You’ll also learn to protect, restore and create engineered and natural systems that are socially, environmentally and economically sustainable. Design offers technical, theoretical, and applied design opportunities. A focus of your studies in this area is on developing innovative, original and ethical designers. 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. Your final-year project will combine and develop the skills and knowledge defined by Engineers Australia – the experience you need to commence your professional engineering career. The project will provide an opportunity to integrate engineering and industrial design capabilities. In addition, design studios through preceding years of the degree provide research and design project experiences where real-world projects are undertaken within industry and community organisations on issues of significance.

You must have successfully completed an Australian Year 12 (or equivalent qualification).
