This course is fully accredited by The Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET). The Engineering Accreditation Commission is the leading accrediting body in the field of engineering education and is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation as the official accreditor for engineering programs. ABET accreditation, an important indicator of a program’s commitment to quality, means “quality assurance.” It offers programs a mechanism to assess, evaluate and improve their quality. It is also an assurance that a program meets the quality standards set by professional and technical societies of the engineering profession. All undergraduate engineering programs at RMIT University are accredited by ABET.
Graduates take on management responsibilities in engineering and technology-based enterprises and organisations.
