Physics for engineers 1 | Federation University

ENGRG1002 Physics for engineers 1

Within all engineering disciplines, core concepts from various fields of physics such as Newtonian mechanics, fluids, heat and mass transfer, materials, electronics, and electromagnetism underpin the knowledge of practising engineers. This unit will introduce students to the principles that engineers frequently use to understand and analyse the behaviour of Newtonian mechanics systems, fluids systems, and heat and temperature; these areas are of crucial importance in the 21st century. The unit will introduce students to the fundamental concepts needed to analyse these topics to support their learning in the later years of the engineering course. At the end of this unit, students will have a fundamental understanding that will allow them to solve problems related to the introduced concepts and design and analyse simple systems.

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.
