ENGIN1001 Professional Engineering

A professional engineer needs to be able to convey an idea to a diverse audience, manage their and others time and collaborate with other disciplines. This course provides an introduction to the techniques that engineers use in the work environment to manage a project and develop ideas for a more sustainable future. The course develops a basic understanding of how engineers analyse a problem and find an appropriate solution, taking into account all constraints, such as environmental, financial, technical and social. It introduces students to the need to clearly communicate and to the process of working in teams to yield an appropriate solution to an engineering problem. The course will be integrated through a major team challenge that forms the core of the assessment. In this course you will start your journey to becoming a competent communicator, able to work effectively as part of, or to lead a team.

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).

2026 contribution amount* $1,192
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $1,192

^ If you are a continuing student who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

Domestic full fee–paying places

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.

International full fee–paying places

International tuition fees are course-based annual fees and the unit fee you pay will vary according to the degree you are studying. To find out more about international tuition fees and view the relevant fee schedule visit our fees website.
