This unit introduces the principles and materials used in prestressed concrete design. The unit explores in details the design of prestressed concrete structures for serviceability and strength by covering essential topics such as the design of statically determinate and indeterminate beams and also losses – short and long term effects and anchorage zone design. The syllabus also covers the use...

This unit will provide students with a comprehensive understanding of larval and early life history biology, as well as the practices and processes that underpin hatchery operations for algal, molluscan, crustacean and finfish production. By exploring various techniques and approaches used in tropical and temperate aquaculture, students will gain insights into the management of broodstock,...

This unit introduces legal, administrative, social and scientific aspects of environmental impact assessment using case studies. The unit emphasises the practical aspects of environmental impact assessment in Tasmanian contexts, but environmental impact assessment processes and legislation are similar in many parts of the world. Being able to navigate the Tasmanian system will translate well into...

This unit introduces legal, administrative, scientific, and social aspects of environmental impact assessment (EIA) using case studies. The unit emphasises the practical aspects of environmental impact assessment in Tasmanian contexts, but environmental impact assessment processes and legislation are similar in many parts of the world. Being able to navigate the Tasmanian system will translate...

International Transport Systems provides students with an understanding of international transport and the way it operates. The unit covers various topics such as transport modes (road, rail, air and water transport) and terminals, global transport system, intermodal transport, transport and logistics, the relationship between transport and economic development, social and environmental impacts...

This unit introduces civil engineering students to road transportation engineering and its role in modern society, including the design and evaluation of roads and signalisation, road maintenance strategies, and mitigation of environmental problems associated with roads. The aim of this unit is to allow students to develop an understanding of the role of the traffic engineer in traffic planning...

The unit explores human population growth and the impending global food crisis by introducing agriculture as a managed ecosystem, from the earliest shifting cultivation systems to the most intensive systems currently practiced today. The ecological, economic and social sustainability of these systems is considered in relation to diversity, intensity of management and productivity. The unit...

This unit covers the key elements and essential concepts of ocean wave mechanics that are relevant to the design and development of offshore and coastal structures. Additionally, the unit helps students in developing and applying appropriate computational methods relevant to engineering problems of wave mechanics. The unit provides the foundations for JEE359 Design of Floating Offshore Structures...
