RMIT School of Engineering:

Student Projects (Industry Partner Submission)

You have been invited to submit a project that can provide an authentic Work-integrated Learning (WIL) experience for our engineering students. Projects must offer realistic, challenging, yet achievable engineering problems for individuals or teams of students. There are two main cohorts which can be engaged for a project, as outlined below:


Capstone Projects (Undergraduate Students)

  • Students are in their final year of their chosen engineering degree
  • Students work in teams of typically 4 – 6
  • Teams can be of mixed engineering discipline (multidisciplinary)
  • These students work on an engineering specific issue/problem over two semesters (eg. Semester 1, 2024 & Semester 2, 2024/ Semester 2, 2024 – Semester 1, 2025)
  • Students are supervised by an RMIT academic
  • Teams are required to meet with their industry partner on a regular basis to discuss progress, ask questions and receive data.
  • A WIL agreement will be required to be signed by all parties involved (eg. RMIT, the participating students, and, if involved, the Industry Partner)


To see examples of past projects, please explore our EnGenius event from 2024.


Masters Projects (Postgraduate Students)

  • Students work individually
  • Students can work on projects in one or two semesters, depending on scope
  • Students are supervised by an RMIT academic
  • Students are required to meet with their industry partner on a regular basis to discuss progress, ask questions and receive data.
  •  A WIL agreement will be required to be signed by all parties involved (eg. RMIT, the participating student, and, if involved, the Industry Partner)


If you have any questions about this process, please contact the STEM College Industry Engagement team.

- Any resources available to the student - Are there any confidential Data or information? - Do you have other requirements such as a police check, WWCC or Citizenship requirements?

Would you be happy for multiple teams to work on your project?

Note: It will be multiple teams working on the same project.

What is your preferred working format?*

Onsite (Working/visit to a premise required) Online (Working entirely remote) Hybrid (Working online and some site visits required including data collection requirements) Please select Onsite/Hybrid if there is any requirement for a visit to any premise (RMIT/Industry). This is essential to organise any required permits. Note: Onsite & Hybrid format require a Covid Safety plan and our agreements team will help with this!

Note: please detail activities students may be required to undertake as apart of this project beyond the classroom


(eg. field visit, site visit, lab participation, other external face-to-face requirements, etc.)

Are there scholarships, possible future work available afterwards etc. that you would like the students to know about?

WIL Agreement Details

Are you the best contact to organise a Work Integrated Learning (WIL) agreement with?*

Note: Our Agreements team will assist.
