ENGRG1004 Physics for engineers 2

For all engineering disciplines, a fundamental understanding of not only materials and material structure, but also electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism is the core of being able to effectively find solutions to the challenges that are faced by the world. This unit will introduce you to the basic properties of the most commonly used materials in engineering, the principles of electric fields, electronics components, and electromagnetism in power generation and transmission. The unit will help students develop a comprehensive understanding of these three main topics and how the principles are applied. The key understanding of material properties will help engineers carry out engineering projects by performing material tests to determine the strength of materials and undertake a material selection process. The understanding of electricity, electronic, and electromagnetic will enable the incorporation of electrical drive and control and power generation to be integrated into the multidisciplinary engineering 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.
