ENGRG2102 Geotechnical Engineering 1
Geotechnical Engineering 1 primarily delves into soil mechanics, addressing the essential elements of soil mechanical behavior, including composition, classification, compaction, permeability, settlement and shear strength. Beyond gaining a comprehensive understanding of the mechanical properties of soils and their relevance to various civil engineering projects, this unit equips students with the foundational knowledge and skills necessary to design safe, resilient and sustainable geo-structures in their future geotechnical engineering units.
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.
