ENGPG9203 Digital and Embedded Systems

This unit introduces students to the digital and embedded systems and enhances their investigative, design and problem solving skills. The unit discusses digital logic design, programmable logic devices, embedded system and covers the basic architecture of microcontrollers along with their applications in embedded systems. The embedded system takes into account both the hardware and software component in finding the solution to a problem. This presents significant challenges as appropriate skills are required to strike proper balance between the hardware and software components. Students will gain practical experience of interfacing computer with physical engineering systems. They will also gain skills in designing small systems to meet various design requirements. The unit applies digital and embedded systems design to industrial applications, such as machine measurement and control, and, domestic applications including examples from both white goods and home entertainment.

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.

Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways 

For Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways bands, the student contribution amount is determined by the accredited course. Visit our CSP page for further information, including a list of accredited courses. Students not studying in an accredited course will pay the fees listed above. 

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.

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
