Course Overview
Global sport is an expanding industry worth about US$800 billion a year. Growth in the sports equipment sector is 2.5 times faster than the growth of general consumer spending, and the global sports industry is growing faster than the overall gross domestic product (GDP). This program includes intensive laboratory work, from classroom-integrated projects to practical work in world-leading facilities such as RMIT's large industrial wind tunnel. You'll develop skills in problem-solving and innovative thinking along with extensive knowledge in developing sports products and specialist skills in developing methods and tools for the improvement of training and performance assessment. RMIT University has a history of developing award-winning sports products, such as the RMIT Superbike. A more recent collaboration with Kookaburra and Cricket Australia is developing a smart cricket ball that helps improve bowling skills and makes previously unmeasurable performance indicators assessable.
