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)
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.
