ENGRG2307 Engineering Computer Applicati

This unit equips students with a solid foundation in advanced programming techniques, engineering software applications, and interactive and parametric design methodologies. As technology continues to evolve, computer-based modelling and simulation tools play an increasingly critical role across engineering disciplines, particularly in mechatronics and system design. Rigorous development of such applications and modelling techniques has helped enormously in improving the performance and efficiency of a mechanical system and enhancing its reliability.Through this unit, students will gain hands-on experience with programming languages such as C/C++, and simulation and modelling tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, LabVIEW, Inventor, and Solidworks. These tools will be used to develop, model, and simulate engineering systems, enabling students to analyse physical problems and design effective solutions.The unit fosters both theoretical understanding and practical skills in computational modelling, system analysis, and interactive design. It prepares students to apply digital tools confidently in the development and optimisation of engineering systems, with a focus on performance, efficiency, and reliability.

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.
