ENGIN5405 Advanced Control Systems Engineering

This is a capstone unit enhancing students knowledge and skills in the advanced topics of control system engineering. Through this unit students will appraise their understanding of the applications and importance of control system in mechatronic applications. Students will be able to interpret, analyse and exemplify different areas of automated control systems, digital control systems, predictive control systems and real time realisation using suitable control system software. Integrating this unit with the knowledge and understanding obtained in previous units, students will be able to distinguish between the principles of different control systems and will be able to apply them in developing and designing appropriate engineering processes. The theoretical knowledge will be complemented with projects and laboratory exercises. The activities will allow students to enhance their skills in designing software based models for controlling mechatronic systems. The students will also learn to appreciate applications of the developed knowledge and skills in industrial environment.

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.
