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...

Students in this unit will undertake the equivalent of an unpaid, professional placement of 80 hours duration, which gives them a work integrated learning experience – providing intended learning outcomes that could reasonably be expected from a placement within a government, non-government or private sector organisation. Typically a placement project is arranged with an industry partner by the...

In this unit students learn to apply theories of reliability engineering to the analysis, interpretation and evaluation of common components with respect to the design, operation and maintenance stages of asset life cycle. The unit provides an introduction to the concepts of reliability engineering including time-dependent failure mechanism, physics-of-failure mechanism, reliability measures and...

The unit provides an introduction to many AI sub-fields, including: expert systems, machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, intelligent agents. Students will be exposed to state-of-the-art examples as well as emerging technologies and get practical experience of solving interesting problems in each of these sub-fields. The unit covers the definition of Artificial...

Prepare students to respond to a medical emergency in a support capacity under the supervision of senior crew members. ...

This unit provides students with the basic knowledge to solve mathematical problems involved in theoretical marine engineering units of the course. The students gain mathematical skills at the basic level to solve algebra, trigonometry, and calculus problems which are applied to Applied Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Naval Architecture and Electro-technology studies. ...

Reliability engineers ensure the availability and maintainability of engineering systems, equipment, and processes and their impact on business operations. They use statistical methods, risk assessment techniques and asset management principles to identify and mitigate potential failures, reduce downtime, and improve system performance. Reliability needs to be considered at each stage of the...

This unit is primarily concerned with extending concepts of single variable calculus into the domain of several variables. It also looks at the construction of periodic functions with Fourier series. The calculus section of this unit is focussed on dealing with functions of several variables, of which the typical case is z = f(x,y). Functions like this are important because they describe many of...

Understanding the sources, fates and transport mechanisms of chemicals in the environment is critical to our ability to minimise or avoid anthropogenic impacts on the environment that we live and work in. Many industrial and everyday practices have had, or continue to have, detrimental impacts on the environment, and our ability to minimise or remediate these impacts is an important determinant...
