2026 Enrolment Program 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 have completed your course enrolment, you will be notified which of the enrolled courses will count toward the weighted average mark.

Year One of Program

Welcome

Starting at RMIT is an important and exciting moment and we're committed to providing you with the information, support and resources you need to succeed from day one.

We aim to create a safe place for students and staff, where everyone feels included, respected and supported.

That’s why, commencing students studying at Australian campuses are required to complete three free online modules as part of their onboarding experience - Student onboarding modules.

Academic Integrity Awareness (60-90 minutes maximum)

Sex and Consent (45 minutes)

How2RMIT (45 minutes)

Students are expected to complete these self-paced modules by the end of their first semester of study at RMIT.

__________________________________________________________________

Engineering Professional Practice (EPP) module

All students commencing an RMIT higher education engineering coursework degree from Semester 1, 2024, are required to complete the Engineering Professional Practice (EPP) module as a condition of graduation.

The EPP module supports your development as a professional engineer by helping you gain relevant experience and build key professional skills. It requires you to complete a minimum of 420 hours of approved engineering-related activities over the course of your degree, supported by a reflective digital portfolio.

Activities may include industry placements, project-based learning, volunteering, professional development, and participation in engineering-related student organisations and events.

If you have completed an engineering work placement prior to joining RMIT, it can be submitted as an EPP activity. If it meets the requirements, it will be counted towards your EPP hours.

One recommended option is to undertake the Professional Engineering Experience course. This formal course provides academic credit towards your degree and can also be used to fulfil your EPP requirement.

The University will support you throughout your studies with opportunities and guidance to help you complete the EPP module.

Upon completion, you will receive a formal certificate, which can strengthen your CV and support your transition into a professional engineering career.

More information will be provided during your studies, including how to select suitable activities and track your progress.

The online dashboard to submit your activities is available in the School of Engineering BEng Canvas shell here (student log in required)
