This unit introduces fundamental programming skills, developing students' ability to think algorithmically to solve problems and to express their solutions in well-constructed Python code. Beginning with the fundamental characteristics of computers and how they represent information, the unit develops the concepts of data types, variables, expressions (calculations), statements (actions) and...

This unit exposes students to practical design issues and processes and facilitates development of conceptual, analytical and project-planning skills required for a preliminary level of ship design with an emphasis on the application of skills developed in previous units directly to a practical design. The unit consolidates and expands on knowledge acquired in areas such as resistance, global and...

The aim of the unit is to provide students with research experience in an area relevant to their chosen specialisation. Students will be required to develop, implement and carry out a short research project typically using available data and information under the supervision of at least one staff member from the AMC. Students will be expected to demonstrate: * extensive, detailed and critical...

In this unit you will be guided, through the supervisory process, to conduct research that is of theoretical and practical significance value to maritime industry. Once the research problem has been selected, a supervisor will be assigned to you to assist you ensure that the problem is clearly defined, the appropriate research methods and techniques are used and the expected research outcomes are...

The capstone project unit provides an opportunity for students to consolidate the knowledge and skills they have acquired in their course and apply them to an authentic ICT team project. This unit extends the students development of the technical, communication and teamwork skills required by ICT professionals in practice. Students will extend their knowledge and skills in the areas of project...

Biogeochemistry describes the cycling of carbon, nitrogen, sulfur and much more through the Earth system. Marine biogeochemistry is a relatively young science which over the past 50 years has grown from the application of chemical analyses of environmental samples to problems of material transports and transformation, to now encompass the influence of these chemical processes on the biosphere and...

This unit provides students with the knowledge and skills to manage the high voltage generation and distribution installations found on modern ships and other offshore installations. This includes the design, installation, construction, trouble shooting, maintenance, commission, and calibration of the HV propulsion machinery, ancillary machinery, and related systems in line with statutory and...

This is the foundation unit in the study of structures. By applying the knowledge gained in Engineering Statics, the students are introduced to fundamental theories and techniques required to analyse the state of stress and strain in structural members subjected to external loads. This knowledge will allow students to perform the engineering calculations required to ensure that a structural...

The honours program in chemistry is a one-year course, comprising broad training associated with a research-based project and some advanced coursework. The whole program is conducted under the KRA426 - 429 (for BSc) or KRA438 - 441 (for BBiotechMedRes) unit codes. The Honours program aims to enable students to define and solve problems relating to their speciality and to conduct research in the...
