This unit takes student database skills beyond an elementary knowledge of the SQL (Structured Query Language) database language to a level where they can undertake significant database systems development using both SQL and Oracle's procedural extension to SQL, PL/SQL. This unit seeks to develop knowledge and skills in: The SQL*Plus programming environment Developing and debugging SQL scripts...

In this unit, students conduct a comprehensive analysis and synthesis of literature within a specific Chemistry domain. Under the guidance of an academic supervisor, students will hone their skills in discerning pivotal concepts, trends, and evolutions in their chosen field. After collaboratively selecting a research area with the unit coordinator, students will produce an annotated bibliography...

This unit provides students with knowledge and skills required to analyse and design marine thermo-fluid engineering equipment. A problem-based learning approach is used through three design projects to provide real engineering design tasks. Students are introduced to individual component design criteria and the relevant classification society design rules. It builds on the knowledge gained in...

In this unit students will explore a wide spectrum of current and emerging renewable energy technologies with a particular focus on mechanical energy conversion from sources including hydropower, pumped storage, solar, wave, tidal, geothermal, wind and biofuels. Students will examine the environmental, operational and economic issues associated with power-generating technologies including recent...

In this unit students will continue to develop their findings and investigations related to their individual speculations in KDA430 Advanced Design Studio A. The major works completed in this unit will be supported by the thesis developed in KDA478 Dissertation B. This is a self-directed unit where ideas and investigations that are developed throughout the year are realised through completed...

This unit provides students with the theoretical knowledge required to solve practical problems encountered in marine electrical engineering. The unit focuses on solving both DC and AC electrical circuit problems. It also covers magnetic circuits and power generation theory. A student completing this unit will be able to apply the knowledge gained to calculate power requirements for ships...

Business processes must be designed to ensure that they are effective and meet customer requirements. A well-designed process will improve efficiency and deliver greater productivity. This unit will introduce students to analytical tools that can be used to model, analyse, understand and design business processes. Students will also gain hands-on experience in using simulation software as a tool...

This unit focuses on participatory and inclusive design practices to engage diverse audiences in the co-creation of projects. Co-design is an increasingly popular practice that is used in a wide range of contexts to foster inclusion, to identify opportunities, and to ensure that outcomes align with needs. Through research, critique, and debate you will evaluate participatory design frameworks in...

This unit aims to provide you with practical professional experience and improve your awareness of the issues associated with professional practice. In this unit you will undertake a directed, experiential learning opportunity in which you will apply your acquired knowledge and skills. This professional experience could take the form of an industry placement with an industry mentor or a R&D...
