Students can become an engineer in sustainable systems engineering and business management. Most engineers move into management within five years of graduation. This double degree gives students the ideal preparation for this career transition.
Students will undertake core studies in sustainable systems engineering, bringing together the new technologies and innovative engineering approaches needed for sustainable global development. They can specialize in energy, transport and logistics or materials.
This program will be combined with business management studies, which involves the planning, organizing, coordinating and directing of organizations' resources. Managers draw on technical skills as diverse as accounting and organizational behavior and build on personal abilities including analysis and leadership.
As part of this degree, students will have the opportunity to design creative, sustainable solutions through design-and-build projects and the Engineers Without Borders Challenge - a humanitarian-focused course offered in all the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology engineering degrees.
