Industrial engineers systematically transfer design and concept into tangible products and services, from design and production to business strategies and in a wide range of industrial systems, aiming to help ensure the competitiveness of firms. Students in this course develop a comprehensive set of skills in manufacturing technologies, system and simulation, operation and business management, and advanced manufacturing and operation techniques. Real-world projects and industry grounding activities help to consolidate theoretical knowledge and prepare students to undertake careers in industries from manufacturing and processing to healthcare, banking and consulting.
Entry requirements
1. In order to be considered for entry, applicants must have completed:
- a 3‐year undergraduate degree in any engineering system major with a weighted average mark of at least H3 (65%) or equivalent; Or,
- a 4‐year Bachelor of Engineering degree or equivalent with a weighted average mark of at least H3 (65%) or equivalent.
Meeting these requirements does not guarantee selection.

Engineering Practice Hurdle Requirement
Students enrolled in the master of industrial engineering degree will need to satisfy the requirements of the Engineering Practice hurdle prior to being awarded the degree. Students will be introduced early in their degree to the online e‐portfolio system as a way of documenting their attainment of graduate attributes which accord with University and professional accreditation standards. Students will keep a record of their stepwise attainment of these capabilities throughout their engineering studies at Melbourne. The artifacts recorded in the e‐portfolio may include formal study elements, such as design reports, as well as reflections on extracurricular activities such as employment and volunteering activities.
Hurdle Requirement
In order to achieve the Engineering Practice Hurdle requirement, students will need to document the attainment of professional skills at an adequate level. This may include the successful completion of any of the following:
- Skills Towards Employment Program (STEP)
- The University’s Leaders in Community Award (LiCA) program.
- ENGR90033 Internship subject.
- CHEN90028 Industry Program subject.
- An agreed level of internship at an approved engineering firm (without receiving University credit)
Completion of the degree will not be approved until this requirement has been met.
