This is a capstone unit enhancing students knowledge and skills in the advanced topics of control system engineering. Through this unit students will appraise their understanding of the applications and importance of control system in mechatronic applications. Students will be able to interpret, analyse and exemplify different areas of automated control systems, digital control systems, predictive control systems and real time realisation using suitable control system software. Integrating this unit with the knowledge and understanding obtained in previous units, students will be able to distinguish between the principles of different control systems and will be able to apply them in developing and designing appropriate engineering processes. The theoretical knowledge will be complemented with projects and laboratory exercises. The activities will allow students to enhance their skills in designing software based models for controlling mechatronic systems. The students will also learn to appreciate applications of the developed knowledge and skills in industrial environment.

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a student contribution band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).
2024 contribution amount* -
$1,118
2024 contribution amount - continuing student who commenced before 1 Jan 2021* -
$1,118
* for Clinical Psychology (Clin Psych) & Professional Pathways (Prof Path) bands the contribution amount is determined by accredited course. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should visit our CSP page for further information.
Note: The Job-ready Graduates Package introduced new funding clusters and contribution amounts from the 2021 academic year. If you are a continuing student who commenced before 1 January 2021 studying units in disciplines with increased contribution amounts, you will continue paying the same amount (indexed each year) as you would have. For further information visit the Australia Government's Study Assist website.
