About the RMIT School of Engineering
The School of Engineering is one of the largest Engineering Schools in Australia. It has over 350 staff and 7000 students, including 750 HDR students. The School is committed to driving innovation and collaboration through our industry partnerships. Our industry partners range from small companies to multinational organisations and we work together on translating our research into impact for our partners and the wider community.
The School has six Departments:
• Aerospace Engineering
• Biomedical Engineering
• Chemical and Environmental Engineering
• Civil and Infrastructure Engineering

• Mechanical, Manufacturing and Mechatronics Engineering
In 2023 the School developed a new strategic plan, which will see an increasing emphasis on engagement with industry and other external partners. The School is developing new industry led degrees, where our students learn whilst working for companies, as well as innovation hubs where we will co-locate industry partners, our research teams and our undergraduate students.
Over the next three to five years, the School of Engineering will support these new strategic plans through investments in new facilities. This will include reimaging our teaching laboratories, where we will use new digital technologies to enhance the student experience, as well as research labs, where partnerships with industry will enable us to maintain leading research facilities. The STEM College is also developing plans for a large new building on the Melbourne City Campus, and the School of Engineering is expected to hold significant space in this new building.
RMIT is a global university, and the School of Engineering has students and research partners across South East Asia and Europe. This includes two campuses in Vietnam and partnerships in Hong Kong and Singapore, and we recently entered into a partnership with the Birla Institute of Technology and Science in India. The School also has a research centre in Barcelona, which provides access to European funding and industry partners. The School will continue to grow our international activities with the aim of becoming a globally connected School that translates technologies and training across continents.
