GPENG1003 Materials in Engineering
For all engineering disciplines a fundamental understanding of how materials behave is core to being able to effectively select and design solutions to the challenges that are faced by the world. This course will introduce students to the basic properties of the most commonly used materials in engineering. The micro-structural and macroscopic behaviour of materials and fundamental chemistry will be studied to develop an understanding of how a material can be used safely. In addition the common processing methods, life cycle assessment and material selection techniques will be introduced.
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.
