This course provides an introduction to the techniques that engineers use in the work environment to manage a project and develop ideas for a more sustainable future. The course develops a basic understanding of how engineers analyse a problem and find an appropriate solution, taking into account all constraints, such as environmental, financial, technical and social. It introduces students to the need to clearly communicate and to the process of working in teams to yield an appropriate solution to an engineering problem. The course learning outcomes will be integrated through a major team challenge that forms the core of the assessment. In this course you will start your journey to becoming a competent communicator and effective team contributor and team leader.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,164
* 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.
