The unit introduces the fundamental concepts of modern electronics based on semiconductor devices. On completion of this unit you will be able to design amplifier circuits with feedback. Beginning with the basic atomic structure of doped silicon substrates, diode construction, operations and characteristic curves are introduced, leading to DC and AC analysis. This is expanded to quiescent point...

This unit provides an applied approach to the key components of integrated logistics systems, such as procurement, inventory management and transport, whilst also viewing the system holistically. The strategic focus of the unit enables analysis of impacts on logistics activities including disruptive forces such as geopolitical issues and the effect and adoption of emerging technologies. The...

The unit teaches contemporary business logistics concepts by exploring the intersection of supply chains, logistics and information technology. At the start, students are introduced to fundamental logistical functions including transportation, warehousing and inventory management. Building on this understanding, students are then introduced to advanced topics in integration, traceability,...

On completion of this unit, a student will be able to handle large power-driven vessels safely on passage and in and out of port under normal and extreme conditions and in emergencies. The unit incorporates the study and understanding of a vessel's behaviour under varying circumstances and hydrodynamic influences. The student further undergoes training on an approved ship simulator in performing...

This unit aims to develop engineering analysis and design knowledge and skills within a multi-disciplinary, sustainable engineering context to ideate, design, optimise and build a prototype. You will work in a team to analyse a problem in terms of its context, dilemma and objective prior to developing a conceptual design, before you enter a next stage of following a reference design and building...

In this unit, you will explore the biological and physical factors that shape the design of fishing gears and methods, and their operation in fisheries both in Australia and globally. A special focus will be on the identification and mitigation of fishing’s negative impacts on the marine environment. You will be introduced to the process of collecting experimental fishing data in the field, and...

The unit will introduce the student to the factors that influence the design of a range of commercial fishing gears and methods as well as the fishing vessels that are required for their effective operation to produce high-quality seafood. Special emphasis is placed on identifying options to reduce any negative impacts of fishing on the marine environment and to promote responsible fishing...

This is an elective coursework unit intended for physics and maths honours students. This unit in mathematical physics aims to provide an understanding of general relativity as a theory of gravity relating to the geometric properties of spacetime. We begin with special relativity, which applies in flat spacetime, develop the Lorentz transforms, index notation, and the equivalence principle. Using...

This geospatial project unit allows you to undertake a significant investigative project in a chosen field within the broad discipline of geospatial science. This will be achieved via guidance of the unit coordinator and unit materials. Through this project, you will gain insight into project management skills including project design, methods development, data collection, data management and...

The aim of this unit is to examine the processes, functions and strategies required by organisations to acquire goods, services and equipment from other organisations. The unit covers three broad dimensions of the procurement function within organisations. Firstly, the unit familiarises you with the procurement processes employed by organisations in both the public and private sectors. Secondly,...
