Bachelor of Engineering (Adv Manufacturing and Mechatronics) (Honours)

Yes, the Bachelor of Engineering (Advanced Manufacturing and Mechatronics) (Honours) is fully accredited by Engineers Australia, which is responsible for accrediting higher education courses that prepare students to practise as professional engineers. Engineers Australia is a signatory to the Washington Accord, meaning the qualification is internationally recognised and graduates are able to practise as professional engineers in many countries around the world. Graduates are also eligible for graduate and/or professional membership of Engineers Australia.

Students have access to state-of-the-art facilities including the Advanced Manufacturing Precinct, which combines RMIT's expertise in technology and design innovation. You will actively engage with industry through work placements, industry mentors, industry projects, internships, seminars and events. Before graduating, you are strongly encouraged to complete at least 10 weeks of engineering industry experience. You may also choose a six or twelve month industry placement locally or internationally through the RMIT International Industry Experience and Research Program (RIIERP), which can provide academic credit and paid industrial experience.

In your final year, you have the ability to study a minor to further deepen your knowledge of robotics and mechatronics, or alternatively take a minor that broadens your skill set. Minor options include: Intelligent Manufacturing Technologies, Engineering Enterprise and Project Management, Humanitarian Innovation, Smart Construction, and Smart Medical Technologies.

For international students commencing in 2026, the annual tuition fee is AU$47,040. In addition, students are charged a Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) of up to AU$373 maximum for 2026, and may also incur costs for field trips, textbooks and equipment.

In Years 1 and 2, you will learn the fundamentals of advanced manufacturing and mechatronics, including maths, digital skills, mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, physics, analytical and problem-solving skills, design capabilities and professional practice — including the Engineers Without Borders Challenge. In Years 3 and 4, you will deepen your knowledge in mechatronics engineering through automatic control systems, advanced manufacturing techniques, advanced materials, computer simulation and analysis of manufacturing systems, and process design. Your final year includes a major capstone project and optional minor studies, with opportunities to present at EnGenius, an end-of-year student showcase.
