ENGRG1001 Computational skills for engineers
This unit is structured to familiarize students with computational tools relevant to engineering, with a strong focus on computer-aided design (CAD) and computational tools like MATLAB. It involves extensive use of widelyrecognized engineering software, including AutoDESK's AutoCAD, and teaches the basics of creating and communicating technical drawings using these tools. Moreover, the unit serves as a platform for simulating engineering systems, employing a variety of mathematical and computer-based models to describe physical systems and their responses to varied inputs. The teaching approach will provide practical insights into the methods engineers use to analyze physical systems, forecast their behaviour, and ensure their safety in real-world applications.
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).
2025 contribution amount* $1,164
2025 grandfathered contribution amount* $1,164
Grandfathered contribution amount - 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 Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways 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.
