Foundation Studies - Engineering and Science:
Foundation Studies is delivered by the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology Training, a fully owned entity of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University. Foundation Studies provides students with the knowledge, skills and confidence they need for their future academic success.
Located in the heart of the vibrant city of Melbourne, close to cafés, shops, arts and entertainment precincts, the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology Training’s Foundation Studies specialist staff support students every step of the way. The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology provides opportunities to develop students' global and social network, setting them up for success at the university and into the future.
To ensure students get the best start to their studies, the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology has invested in careers counselling, academic and welfare support for international students to access when and where it suits them.
Foundation Studies gives students the opportunity to study the subjects that align with their interests and study goals. Students can choose from streams in:
- Art, Design and Architecture
- Business
- Communication and Social Context
- Engineering and Science
- Health
- Information Technology (IT)
Bachelor of Engineering - Electrical & Electronic Engineering (Honors) + Bachelor of Business - Management:
In this double degree, students will acquire extensive knowledge in the fields of electronic, computer systems, communication and network engineering with the ability to manage teams of technical/professional staff within large organizations.
Students will gain the knowledge and skills to find better solutions to challenges in design, construction and maintenance of electronic hardware, embedded systems, firmware development, communication and network systems. This could include the automation of electrical and electronic systems; audio and visual information acquisition, digital signal processing; human-machine interaction, industrial or medical instrumentation and monitoring; reconfigurable logic development; distributed computing and provision of security for computer systems and networks.
Students will also learn to design and build devices and systems that transfer and store information via radio frequency or optical fiber transmissions, and manage and secure the flow of information through such systems.
Students will have a wide range of options to specialize in various sub-areas of electronic and computer systems engineering, including:
- digital and embedded systems
- electronics and sensing applications
- network engineering and security
- wireless and optical communications
- defense systems
Contemporary managers are increasingly expected to exercise strong ethical judgement and to be dedicated to a process of continuous learning about their practice. They are also expected to work flexibly and effectively with those around them in various organizational structures.
Students will graduate ready to move into an engineering management role either relatively early in their career or after a period of experience as a professional engineer, rather than having to undertake further study to prepare for a management role.
