Affordable start to your career journey with a globally recognized degree in Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering

Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), Australia’s biggest tertiary institution, will be opening its doors to Sri Lankan students, this January, through an affordable Engineering degree program offered at their Vietnam campus, with two years of study at South Asian Institute of Technology and Medicine, Sri Lanka.

Highlights:

An affordable degree with international exposure Complete two years of study in Sri Lanka and transfer to RMIT, Vietnam Eligible for graduate membership of Engineers Australia, upon graduation. State-of-the-art facilities to gain realworld skills Engage in industry-based projects and industrial placements Under this partnership, RMIT offers four year full time Engineering degrees in two disciplines, namely Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering; Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Students will get a unique opportunity to carry out the first two years of study at the partner institute in Sri Lanka and then transfer to RMIT Vietnam to complete the degree program. RMIT is internationally recognized for its programs in engineering and information technology. RMIT’s Engineering program is provisionally accredited by Engineers Australia and graduates will be immediate- ly eligible for graduate membership of Engineers Australia.

An international experience

RMIT University Vietnam is the Asian campus of Melbourne-based University RMIT Australia, with two campuses located in Ho Chi Minh City and in Hanoi. Home to more than 6,000 students and staff from more than 25 countries, RMIT Vietnam offers a uniquely diverse learning experience in a vibrant and culturally rich country. Students at RMIT Vietnam enjoy a range of flexible study and program options, worldclass facilities, enthusiastic staff and a host of student clubs and activities that make for an unforgettable experience.

State-of-the-art campuses of RMIT Vietnam provide world standard facilities designed to deliver best in student-focused education to equip students with theoreti- cal knowledge, technical skills and practical experience so the students are work-ready when they graduate. In addition, there is an impressive range of extra-curricular activities that encourage students to break new ground in their areas of interest.

Industrial Exposure

Academics at RMIT Vietnam are distinguished by their strong backgrounds in industry and research. With both local and international experience, they provide a dynamic environment in which to learn. This coupled with excellent infrastructure and facilities, including modern labs guarantee an outstanding cutting edge learning experience to students.

The Centre of Technology, at RMIT Vietnam has developed key relationships with industry, including Intel, Datalogic, ABB, Bosch, eSilicon, IBM Vietnam, SMS Management and Technology, TMA Solutions and East Agile. This connection to industry enables students to work on “real” projects whilst studying. This is especially evident during the internship, when the students are enrolled into industry-based courses that integrate the student’s theoretical knowledge with workplace experience. Students take on a range of finite projects that employers can help identify, while RMIT University Vietnam provides close academic supervision. This gives a richer educational experience and important skills making students more work-ready upon graduation.

Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering

Robotics and mechatronics engineering is at the forefront of technology in our fast-paced, automated world. The study and application of engineering to the design, development, maintenance and management of machinery that has electronic and computer controlled-systems such as aircrafts, robots, motor vehicles, and power generators.

In the RMIT Vietnam’s Bachelor of Engineering (Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering) (Honours) program, students learn to solve problems in modern laboratories with cutting-edge software and equipment. Along with technical skills and knowledge, they will develop abilities in management, creative thinking, problem solving and communication to prepare for future leadership roles, with expected career positions in industrial robotics or automation design, including careers in related fields such as consumer product design. Robotics and mechatronics engineering graduates generally work with a multidisciplinary team to research, design, develop, maintain and manage high-technology engineering systems for the automation of industrial tasks to make jobs safer, easier, and more efficient. Gradates will begin their careers as engineers and later transition into managerial roles in technology.

Electrical and Electronics Engineering

The field of electrical and electronics engineering encompasses the technological advances of the last two decades. RMIT Vietnam’s The Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Electronics Engineering) (Honours) is an innovative program that allows students to learn and work on these technological advances. This program is delivered using a Project Based Learning approach which aligns the academic, industry and professional accreditation expectations, where students will work on real-world problems sourced from research, community and industry. Students will learn how to put theory into practice by prototyping electronic designs and experimenting in the laboratory to design and build projects that will prepare them for work in today’s fast-paced, networked world.
