In this unit students will investigate the operation of power systems which include converter-based generation, loads and storage. Students will develop the skills and knowledge to describe how voltage-source converter technologies operate in a power system, and to analyse HVDC converter technologies and the integration into AC power systems. Through this unit students will understand the...

This unit extends the first year treatment in KIT107 of standard data structures and algorithms for solving computational problems. Topics include: data structures (such as balanced trees and hash tables) for collections, (binary heaps for) priority queues, sorting algorithms (e.g. heapsort, mergesort and quicksort), graphs and graph algorithms (e.g. for searching, topological sorting, critical...

Throughout the four years of study, students must complete a mandatory minimum of 12 weeks work experience (exposure to professional practice). They will have sufficient academic grounding and experience to contribute in a positive manner to the engineering design and problem solving processes within the work environment. Students will develop an ability to deal, under supervision, with complex...

This unit will provide essential information on the growing field of gamification and serious games, as well as a practical opportunity to apply technical and behavioural methodologies to build a serious game to support a critical social issue. ...

JFA207 Data Analysis and Presentation builds upon your first-year units that include data analysis and presentation. The emphasis in this unit is on training you to be literate in data presentation and statistical analysis so that you can effectively communicate data and statistical outputs to both “consumers” and “producers” of data. At the conclusion of this unit, you will be able to...

This unit introduces you to theoretical and practical foundations of remote sensing. The unit starts with the physics of remote sensing including the concepts of electromagnetic energy and the interaction of energy with the atmosphere and the earth surface. We will cover the technical and practical characteristics of a range of satellite and airborne sensors. You will work with satellite images...

This unit equips students with the skills they need to conduct a detailed analysis of an industry and use this analysis to identify and communicate potential market or technical innovations with a variety of target audiences. These target audiences might be primary producers, processors or other actors in the value chain. It will provide the foundations to access relevant financial, marketing,...

The unit covers the basic principles of environmental microbiology, microbial diversity and evolution. Lectures are provided on the latest techniques used in microbial ecology including coverage of advanced methods in functional analysis and genomics. A focus is placed on the role of microbes in major ecosystems including soil and the oceans and includes lectures on global cycling of nitrogen,...

The objective of this unit is to provide a basic understanding of contemporary issues in maritime economics from the managerial perspective. The main focus is on economic relationships and policies concerning ship owners, shippers, policy makers and other stakeholders in the maritime industry. ...
