ENGIN3403 Sensors and Artificial Perception

This unit introduces students to the advanced concepts of sensors in artificial perception. The students will learn about the principles behind operation and functionality of different types of sensors and will be provided with knowledge to classify them in accordance to their performance and characteristics. Students will gain knowledge of the data acquisition and conditioning from a sensor system and acquire necessary skills to analyse, comprehend and apply the results to a mechatronic system. In addition to the theoretical knowledge, students will gain practical skills through different projects, assignments and laboratory works, which they would be able to correlate to industrial applications. The unit will enable students to develop strong skills in sensor systems and associated programming techniques, which they would be able to apply in designing and developing physical mechatronic systems and processes.

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.
