Program delivery and structure
Approach to learning and assessmentWork integrated learningProgram structureProgram transition planApproach to learning and assessment
Classes are taught in a combination of lecture, seminar, tutorial, workshop, practical and laboratory sessions and site visits. Several courses in the program are delivered online, rather than on-campus, and you are likely to find that other courses transition to online delivery as you progress through the program. As an engaged student, you are expected to be responsible for the completion of all out of class learning activities which may require extra reading of both library and online materials.
Assessment is ongoing throughout the semester and may include class tests, essays, reports, oral presentations, group projects, research projects, laboratory projects, practical assignments (for example design and build) and end of semester examinations. Components of the assessment for each course may be found in the respective Course Guide.
If you have already developed areas of skill and knowledge included in this program (for example, through prior studies or work experience), you can apply for credit once you have enrolled in this program. There is information on the RMIT University website about how to apply for credit.
Please note that if you have a disability, long-term medical condition and/ or mental health condition ELS can support you to create reasonable adjustments to ensure you can participate in your studies. You can contact the Equitable Learning Services (ELS) unit if you would like to find out more. Information about ELS can be found at: www.rmit.edu.au/students/support-services/equitable-learning.
Top of pageWork integrated learning
RMIT is committed to providing you with an education that strongly links formal learning with workplace experience. Work Integrated Learning will be undertaken in many courses in your program. As a student enrolled in this RMIT program you will:
- undertake and be assessed on structured activities that allow you to learn, apply and demonstrate your professional or vocational practice;
- interact with industry and community when undertaking these activities and receive feedback through assessment tasks; and
- complete these activities in real or simulated work contexts or situations.
The following two 12 CP core course include WIL activities where 50% or more of the assessment involves assessors from a WIL partner organisation:
- OENG1166 Introduction to Professional Engineering Practice where you will participate in an "Engineers Without Borders (EWB)" project which is focussed on sustainable development as identified by EWB and community organisations.
- OENG1168 Engineering Capstone Project Part B where you will work under the guidance of a professional engineer who may be from industry or be an academic or research staff member. You will apply your technical knowledge, research, design and professional engineering skills to either discipline specific, or cross disciplinary engineering problems, through robust research and established engineering design processes.
In addition to these courses you are strongly recommended to undertake at least 10 weeks of engineering work experience supervised by a professional engineer. If your work experience meets the requirements it may be assessed concurrently with your work experience as part of University Elective courses such as
- OENG1165 Professional Engineering Experience
You can enrol in OENG1165 while you are undertaking engineering work experience at any time during your program as a University elective course or you can enrol in it as a technical option course in your final years.
Top of pageProgram Structure
| For students who commence their study in this program from 1 January 2016 onwards, please note that some courses listed in this structure will have their course marks count toward your program's weighted average mark. Your weighted average mark will determine the honours level of your award once you have completed the program. If a course counts toward your weighted average mark, that fact will be stated in its course guide. In Enrolment Online, after you completed your course enrolment, you will be notified which of the enrolled courses will count toward the weighted average mark. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Program transition plan
Very Important: This plan is being phased out.
BH068 - Bachelor of Engineering (Advanced Manufacturing and Mechatronics) (Honours) plan has been discontinued and will no longer accept new students after Semester 2 2022. The plan will be taught out to current students until semester 2, 2027. If you are unable to complete your program by the end of 2027, you may consider applying to other programs within RMIT subject to entrance requirements. You may also consider applying to the new plan:
BH068P23 Bachelor of Engineering (Adv Manufacturing and Mechatronics) (Honours)
For more information and advice on your enrolment, please contact your program manager, Alex Kootsookos or Ben Cheng (alex.kootsookos@rmit.edu.au or ben.cheng@rmit.edu.au).

^Students who have successfully completed the first three years (288 CP) of their Program including two University Electives before Semester 1 2018 will continue to have the two University Electives contribute to their Program credit point total.
*Students who have successfully completed OENG1074 Professional Research Project 1 before semester 1 2018 will be able to complete OENG1075 Professional Research Project 2 in Semester 1 2018.
-Before 2018, OENG1075 Professional Research Project 2 (24cp) incorporated 12 credit points of compulsory WIL work experience.
From 2018, OENG1075 Professional Research Project 2 (24cp) will be replaced by OENG1168 Engineering Capstone Project Part B (12cp).
If you have not successfully completed OENG1075 Professional Research Project 2 (24cp) before the Commencement of Semester 1 2018, you will take OENG1168 Engineering Capstone Project Part B (12cp) and you may choose to take the Option course OENG1165 Professional Engineering Experience or any other option course in your fourth year program structure.
2016 Amendment
In 2016 this program underwent minor changes in structure. Specifically:
- the following final year core courses were changed to electives
- MANU1420 Manufacturing Systems Modelling
- MANU2230 Automated System Design
- MANU1417 Advanced Robotics
- the following courses were added as final year electives
- MANU2455 Advanced Manufacturing and Design
- MIET1200 Advanced Materials
The new structure will be implemented from Semester 1 2016. All students must change over to the new program from Semester 1 2016. For students who enrolled in this program plan before 2016, all credits you gained will count towards the amended program plan BH068. If you need any transitional or enrolment advice, please contact your Program Manager.
2014 Amendment
This program underwent an amendment in 2014. The following Table advises students who have failed an old course(s) before 2014 what substitute course(s) they should complete.
| Year or Semester | Former course/s no longer offered | Credit Points | New or amended course | Credit Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | MIET2097 Engineering Mechanics AERO2247 Solid Mechanics and Materials 1 |
