The Advanced Manufacturing Precinct (AMP) is set to bring industry, RMIT expertise and students together in a collaborative ’learning factory’ environment. Innovative designs are developed and realised across many disciplines of engineering, product and industrial design by integrating digital design with advanced digital manufacturing processes.
The Engineering Learning Factory at the AMP provides students with unique learning experiences on real industry problems and products in a work-emulating environment. It helps them understand industry needs, professional requirements and the product realisation process. Projects are team-based and involve higher education and vocational education students from different disciplines.
Industry practitioners work together with our academic staff to scope and supervise projects. The industry practitioner role is to support practical education and training that is aligned to modern professional and industry needs and that connects students and staff to industry and professional experience. They are experienced professional engineers across mechanical, manufacturing, electronics and other relevant engineering disciplines.
