The program will provide you with knowledge of micro-nano engineering, from fundamentals all the way to applications by providing design, simulation, and hands-on micro-nano fabrication experiences. You can specialise in one of two areas Micro-nano electronics (design and basic fabrication) Micro-nano systems (fundamentals and specialised fabrication). A highlight of studying this program at RMIT includes access to state-of-the-art technology. You’ll have access to the Micro Nano Research Facility (MNRF), which opened in September 2014. The MNRF has comprehensive facilities for the design, fabrication, packaging, and characterisation of micro and nano scale devices. There is also a strong focus on research through a major project. The University has demonstrated strengths in research in the micro-nano engineering fields, with the University being rated as well above world standard (Excellence in Research for Australia 2015).

The program will prepare you for a career in the design of devices or systems employing Micro-Nano Engineering fabrication techniques and also for careers in the development or management of fabrication facilities in either a research or manufacturing context. Potential areas of employment are in the semiconductor industry or in the rapidly emerging area of biomedical device engineering.
