Designed to meet the needs of engineers working at the interface of mechanical engineering and biotechnology, you’ll be equipped to manage technical and professional challenges in this growing area. As part of this program you'll develop design, creativity and intellectual discipline skills, and be ready to practice as a high-level engineer in the field of mechanical engineering. You’ll also be equipped with skills in genetic engineering, industrial microbiology, molecular agriculture, bioinformatics, and regulatory, ethical and legal issues in biotechnology. 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. Multiple campuses Years 1 and 2 are conducted on the City campus, year 3 is shared between the City and Bundoora campuses and years 4 and 5 are conducted on the Bundoora campus. The biotechnology component is studied on the City campus. International student visa holders can only study full-time. Career Upon graduation you’ll be well equipped to deal with both technical and professional challenges in the fields of mechanical engineering and biotechnology. Careers are available in design, manufacturing and testing in government and commercial organizations. Significant opportunities are also anticipated in processing industries such as fermentation, food, cell products, and vaccines both in Australia and overseas. Further study When you successfully complete this program, you may be eligible for entry into an RMIT postgraduate program or RMIT Masters by Research or Doctoral (PhD) program.
