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.
As a graduate of the Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) (Honours) / Bachelor of Industrial Design (Honours), you will be ready for work in mechanical and industrial design areas such as biomedical, automotive, and electro-mechanical product design.
You will find that the combination of lateral thinking and creative problem-solving fostered by your industrial design subjects, with the design rigour and logical frameworks of your mechanical design subjects, are a valuable combination for employers across multiple sectors and industries.
