RMIT University

Melbourne , Victoria ,Australia

Master of Engineering (Manufacturing)

Gain the expertise to lead change, adopt new technologies and implement new operating practices in manufacturing businesses.

Worldwide, manufacturing companies are undergoing dramatic change. The combination of new technology, customer expectations and global competition is forcing new approaches to automation, factory design and manufacturing systems.

As the pace of change accelerates, it creates demand for trained professionals who can strategically apply new technologies and modes of manufacturing in industry.

Manufacturing companies already use computerised information systems, but there is a need to achieve true systems integration through the adoption of 'whole enterprise' modelling approaches. Production machines and processes are increasingly under computer/microprocessor control and this requires more sophisticated approaches to maintenance management. RMIT University is ranked among the world’s top 150 universities in mechanical, aeronautical and manufacturing engineering (2017 QS World University Rankings by Subject).
