This unit gives an introduction to the risks and threats to computer systems and some of the countermeasures that can be put in place to minimise them. Students will develop an understanding of the ethical and privacy issues relating to the security of computer systems and the professional code of conduct. This unit is also an introduction to ethical hacking which is attempting to penetrate...

This unit provides a practical introduction to the risks and threats that computer systems and networks face, and some of the countermeasures that can be put in place to minimise them. This unit also provides an introduction to ethical hacking which is attempting to penetrate secure systems in order to demonstrate vulnerability so that steps can be taken to mitigate risk. Students will develop an...

In this unit knowledge and skills developed through the engineering course are applied in a team-based environment to the design and implementation of robotics and automation systems and electrical systems as used in industry. Students will complete a design project focused in the areas of electrical and mechatronic engineering. In the team project students will learn the application of...

In this unit knowledge and skills developed through the engineering course are applied in a team-based environment to the design and implementation of robotic, automation and electrical systems as used in industry. Students will develop microcontroller-based mechatronic systems using kinematic design, motors and motor drivers, analogue and digital I/O, serial interfaces, timer-based systems and...

This unit focusses on the application of strategic management and planning processes to fisheries case-studies. Students will critically appraise issues (biological, ecological, economic and social) for the management of a fishery under the principles of ecologically sustainable development, define fisheries management objectives, recommend fisheries management and compliance strategies, and...

This unit builds on the basic concepts and fundamental principles of engineering geology and soil mechanics and focuses on geotechnical engineering design. It introduces the following topics to students: soil stress path, soil shear strength, critical state model, bearing capacity and serviceability limit of geotechnical structures, footing design, pile foundation design, slope stability, lateral...

On completion of this unit, the student will have the skills, knowledge and attributes to undertake shipboard navigational watch-keeping tasks on a commercial vessel as a trainee deck officer under the supervision of a Deck Officer. Particular emphasis is placed on the watchkeeping standards of the STCW Convention. This unit is delivered via classroom theory, tutorials, web-based learning and...

The aim of this unit is to provide students with the foundation knowledge and understanding of Machine Learning and its applications in various domains including computer vision, data analytics and text mining. This unit will equip students with essential knowledge that is needed for developing smart software applications by using machine learning algorithms and tools. ...

This unit provides students with the knowledge, skills and understanding of leadership and teamwork as appropriate to the Function: "Controlling the operation of the ship and care for persons on board at the operational level". This unit meet the requirements for knowledge, understanding and proficiency set out by the current Maritime Training Package, STCW 2010 (Manila Amendments), and Table A-II...

This unit builds on the basic concepts and fundamental principles of engineering geology and soil mechanics covered in a prerequisite unit. It gives an introduction to Geotechnical Engineering, and provides the basic concepts and mechanics necessary for geotechnical design. Through this unit, students will develop an understanding of the factors influencing soil strength, and apply this...
