ENGIN3202 Geotechnical Engineering
This is an intermediate level unit in geotechnical engineering where more in depth knowledge in this field is introduced and excelled. Topics include geotechnical site investigation practices, Introduction to AS2870 Residential Slabs & footings, analysis and design of shallow foundations,analysis and design of deep foundations, analysis of slope stability and design of retaining structures and introduction to environmental geotechniques. Upon completing this unit, students should be able to prepare a small scale site investigation program, Classify residential building sites and propose suitable footing systems for residential buildings, draw geological cross sections for geotechnical engineering design purpose using information obtained from geological map and site investigation, design basic shallow & deep foundations subjected to simple loading contitions, analyse stability of soil slopes & design retaining structures and describe fundemetal geoenviorenmental considerations applicable in the design of waste containment systems.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,164
* 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.
