ENGIN3401 Engineering Computer Applications and Interactive Modelling

This unit provides students with solid foundation in advanced level programming techniques, computer applications and interactive modelling in engineering. With the advancement of time and technology, there has been a much greater involvement of different computer applications and interactive modelling techniques in a wide range of engineering applications, especially mechatronics. Rigorous development of such applications and modelling techniques have helped enormously in improving the performance and efficiency of a mechatronic system and enhanced its reliability. Through this unit students will get the opportunity to extensively use programming languages, such as C/C++, and software tools, such as MATLAB/SimuLink and LabVIEW, to perform programming, interactive modelling and simulation to analyse and solve physical engineering problems. This will help in the development of their fundamental theoretical knowledge and skills in different areas of mechatronic systems engineering.

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. To find out more about domestic tuition fees and view the relevant fee schedule visit our fees website.

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.
