Combine your skills for designing solutions to electrical engineering problems with management skills. In this course, your creative engineering skills will be backed up with strategic skills for their implementation. These skills are becoming increasingly important to the energy, resource, manufacturing and design sectors.

You’ll learn the fundamentals of electrical engineering as well as essentials of business management including marketing, economics, and logistics. Engineering solutions often involve project work, and the combined skills of this double degree will provide you with an edge in managing such projects.

You’ll have the opportunity to design creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design-and-build projects, as well as taking part in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge - a humanitarian-focused course offered in all RMIT engineering degrees.

To ensure you graduate job-ready, you’ll also have an opportunity to undertake a work-integrated learning (industry experience) elective.
