The unit introduces the science behind pasture production and management and the link between pasture or other feedstuffs on animal digestion, feed and nutrient utilisation and productive performance. In the practical classes, students are given the opportunity to perform pasture assessment, assess the digestive system of ruminants, and experience the methods used to determine meat quality. The...

The unit introduces the science behind pasture production and management and the link between pasture or other feedstuffs on animal digestion, feed and nutrient utilisation and productive performance. In the practical classes, students are given the opportunity to perform pasture assessment and experience the methods used to determine the quality of feeds. The practical sessions also give the...

This unit introduces students to fundamentals of distributed networked environments, primarily focusing on wired networks but students will examine some of the different approaches in wireless networks. It provides knowledge of internetworking standards and understanding of the networking architecture, technology and operation. This unit will provide students with an understanding of: OSI model...

This unit is a multi-disciplinary engineering unit that examines the role of engineering in delivering future development at local, national, and global scale, in order to sustainably meet the needs of a growing population out to 2050. It examines societal and environmental drivers, including quantitative analysis, drawing on various data sources. The unit then explores techno-economic analyses...

This unit introduces the topic of game design and production. Students will work in teams to design and develop a prototype of their design using an agile development methodology. During the development process students will document aspects of the game's implementation. Students will prepare their game prototype for an online release and will pitch their concept of the final product as if...

This unit introduces fundamental and advanced concepts to design, analyse and evaluate signals and the response of linear systems. The topics covered include: (1) definitions of signals, generalised functions, definition of linear, time-invariant systems, the convolution theorem, impulse responses, step responses. (2) Continuous time convolution, LTI systems as ODEs, solving ODEs to obtain the...

The unit introduces the theory and practice of signals and linear systems and shows how transform techniques and transfer functions can be used to solve problems in several engineering fields. This unit is considered to be essential for power, electrical, computer, electronic, telecommunications and mechatronic engineering and forms the basis for many third and fourth year units, especially those...

The unit introduces the theory and practice of signals and linear systems and shows how transform techniques and transfer functions can be used to solve problems in several engineering fields. This unit forms the basis for Control Theory required for future control units. Harmonic analysis, signal decomposition and transforms are treated in a logical sequence showing their inter-relationship....

The physical and living aspects of the global environment interact to produce the extraordinary variety of landscapes, ecosystems and species that occupy this planet. This unit highlights the interplay and conservation of controlling processes so that they continue to maintain Earth's ecosystems and inspire future generations. Earth, Climate and Life develops intermediate understanding of factors...

The Advanced Analytical Techniques unit is a specialised module within the broader field of analytical chemistry, designed to immerse students in cutting-edge techniques and applications for qualitative and quantitative analysis.   Techniques that will be covered have applications including ensuring the safety of our food and pharmaceuticals, the quality of our water, and our health and safety....
