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) 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.
