This unit introduces students to the shipping industry and to the duties, ¿¿responsibilities, and lifestyle of a Marine Engineering Officer. The focus of this unit is ¿¿to develop a basic knowledge of vessel construction, operation of propulsion ¿machinery, and ¿auxiliary machinery systems. This knowledge is taught through theory ¿classes, and web-based ¿learning and may be enhanced...

In this unit students develop a line of speculative, self-directed research in the field of contemporary design, forming the basis of their Honours thesis. They identify a research theme, specify research questions, and develop preliminary design work for their thesis. They also have regular meetings with a supervisor to monitor the progress of their research. The work is to be developed...

The unit KYA211 Waves and Kinetic Theory is the core unit in physics major for second year, first semester. It is also suitable for students who wish to study physics beyond first year but who do not intend to major in the subject. Students will gain an in-depth understanding of many forms of wave motion and of concepts relating to kinetic theory of gases. Students will develop skills in using...

This introductory unit develops your knowledge of how people depend on nature, and how increasingly the conservation of nature depends on people. We will explore these relationships through a values lens: how nature is important for its own sake, how natural resources are important to people, and how nature is important for people's wellbeing. Workshops will provide you with skills to map social...

This unit provides an advanced level of understanding of designing reinforced concrete structures. It focuses on advanced principles such as time-dependent deformations, crack control and strut-and-tie method of design. The unit also explores in depth the use of commercial software such as RAPT and ETABS to design advanced concrete units such as tall-building cores and flat slabs...

The unit builds on knowledge of digital electronics acquired in the earlier years of the course. Students will learn how to apply the principles of digital electronics to construct complex systems such as microprocessor data paths and memory systems. These complex systems will be implemented using hardware definition language, programmed onto field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) and analysed...

This unit introduces the concepts of information systems in a business environment. It examines what is meant by an information system, and how and why information systems are being used in business. The issues involved in developing, managing and controlling business information systems are also explored. The tutorials are designed to develop proficiency in business software applications such as...

This unit provides the students with the knowledge and skills to plan, manage, and carry out ¿maintenance work in pneumatic and hydraulic systems and test machinery components for ¿micro-cracks using dye penetrant and magnetic particle testing methods.¿ This unit meets the requirements for knowledge, understanding and proficiency set out by ¿the current Maritime Training Package, the STCW...

This unit will provide students with the theoretical understanding and practical knowledge of Marine Electronic Navigation equipment to enable the equipment to be used to the best advantage with full understanding of the capabilities and limitations. This unit builds on the knowledge gained in year 1. It meet the requirements for knowledge, understanding and proficiency set out by the Maritime...

This unit builds skills in industry-relevant mechanical design and simulation techniques. This is done through specific industry focused design projects developing engineering solutions satisfying project briefs and design constraints. The focus is on utilising design, modelling and simulation methods in design of mechanical system components and systems, including for optimization of aspects...
