Are you interested in sustainable systems engineering? Climate change is a matter of national and international importance. A demand has arisen for engineers able to conceive and develop sustainable systems.

Sustainable systems engineering brings together the new technologies and innovative engineering approaches needed for sustainable global development. Your studies will focus on the development of a sustainable systems approach, combining the fundamentals of engineering sciences, mathematics and engineering design. Program specialisations exist in energy, or transport and logistics.

Gain knowledge on the fundamentals and processes behind the design of modern telecommunications systems and services, including the Internet, 4G/5G mobile, broadband optical, wireless and satellite systems.

You'll also learn about a wide range of communications technologies, including optical fibre and wireless systems (such as 4G/5G mobile and Wi-fi), the Internet, cable systems, and satellite communications. As a professional you'll then be able to apply these systems and technologies to various civilian and defence applications such as radar, weather monitoring, global positioning, sensor networks, and provision of services such as voice, video and streaming services over the Internet.

RMIT has strong links with the telecommunications industry both nationally and internationally. You will have the opportunity to work with industry in your final year project

Studying chemical engineering at RMIT brings together engineering science with engineering practice and design. It provides you with a practical and vocational focus that is well recognised by industry.

In this degree, you’ll cover the application of chemical, physics, and biological sciences and technology, for the design and improvement of industrial processes such as water purification, food production and processing, or developing products such as cosmetics or pharmaceuticals.

You’ll learn how to make processing industries work more efficiently and minimise their environmental impact by using less energy and producing less waste. You’ll also develop the skills to design and develop ways in which raw materials, such as minerals and oil, are converted into useful products including composites, petrol, plastics and paper.

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.

Duration: 4 Years | Intakes: Feb, Jul

You'll gain specialist skills in the analysis, design, and operation of sophisticated aerospace hardware and software. You'll study a broad range of areas such as aerodynamics, aerospace materials and structures, aerospace systems, design, dynamics and control, thermodynamics, and propulsion.

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.
