Top of pagePurpose of the Program
The Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical Engineering) (Honours) / Bachelor of Commerce program aims to provide you with the knowledge and skills essential for a professional career as an Engineer. You will be able to work within a wide range of organisations and industries in varied roles, and career entry positions. The program will provide you with a basis for further development of your knowledge and skills in commerce, and for further study in engineering and commerce.
You will undertake a capstone experience in the final year courses OENG1167 Engineering Capstone Project Part A and OENG1168 Engineering Capstone Project Part B, in which you will conduct a research project that can be analytical, experimental, design or computational in nature (or some combination).
The Bachelor of Commerce develops a broad range of business skills and knowledge to meet the expectations of employers and to support further learning.
The program provides you with a broad and coherent body of knowledge in the basic business competencies across the disciplines of economics, accounting, finance, marketing, business computing, management and commercial law.
This program offers you a basis for independent lifelong learning. You will develop practical cognitive, technical, creative and communication skills relevant to business. Besides discipline-specific knowledge, you will learn how to use your initiative and judgment, and to build your knowledge and skills on an ongoing basis in professional and personal settings.
The program provides a capstone experience; BUSM4177 Leadership will provide you the opportunity to reflect on and consolidate your theoretical and practical learning.
On completion of this program, you will be work-ready to seek employment or you may choose to undertake further study. If you choose to further study, RMIT University offers pathways from this degree into higher levels of learning.
This program is primarily delivered in face-to-face mode at the City Campus and Bundoora Campus. While most courses in the program are delivered on campus, others are delivered online.
