Cloud computing forms the backbone of many internet-based applications nowadays. These platforms use advanced operating systems and web service technologies to create and share information. Data stored and exchanged in this cloud-based application follow specific formats. The data exchange can be improved with respect to consumer demands by implementing intelligent algorithms at the server-side...

The Practicum provides students with an opportunity to gain the practical skills and deeper insight into the real world of environmental governance, such as by engaging in critical problem solving, testing of theoretical concepts, and collaborative learning in a teamwork setting. The Practicum, which builds on prior assumed knowledge and skills acquired in earlier components of the degree, and...

Discrete mathematics is an important part of every mathematician's armoury: from simple counting, recurrence relations and more advanced combinatorics to graph theory and network analysis: anywhere there are discrete objects and structures, their enumeration and analysis is the domain of discrete mathematics. This Honours-level unit is offered subject to student numbers with contributions from a...

“Mathematics Is Biology's Next Microscope, Only Better; Biology Is Mathematics' Next Physics, Only Better” - Joel E Cohen (2004) The topics covered in this unit may differ slightly from year to year based on staff availability and students’ interests. Topics will be broadly chosen from applications of mathematics (and statistics) to solve problems in evolution and ecology. For example,...

The unit provides students with the fundamental basis of physiology and nutrition, and how they interact to control growth and metabolism, reproduction, osmoregulation and welfare of aquatic animals. The applied relationships between nutrition and feeding behaviour, feed formulation, physiology and biochemistry of aquatic animals is explored and their role in the production of aquaculture...

In this unit you will gain a comprehensive understanding of animal physiology and behaviour with a focus on ectothermic vertebrates that live in wet places. We will learn about the different strategies that aquatic animals employ to breathe, move, regulate, grow, reproduce and survive in changing and/or extreme environments. We will discuss the implications of anthropogenic change and use modern...

Bachelor of Architecture and Built Environments Architecture Technology units focus on establishing key concepts and principles related to the physical facts of architecture and human experience of these facts. At Intermediate level, these units develop focused knowledge and skills at key intersections between materiality and human inhabitation. This unit is part of a suite of four units in the...

The unit extends the physics of electrical phenomena when wavelength is small relative to system physical dimensions. The unit introduces an analysis and design, as well as phenomena encountered when wavelength is short relative to the physical dimensions of an electrical system. The student will study signal and current wave propagation along conductors in electrical structures. This study will...

This unit provides the students with the knowledge and skills to plan, manage, and carry out operational, maintenance and repair work involving marine ancillary systems on commercial vessels. These include: Boilers and steam plant, pumping systems and components, de-salinators, oil purification equipment and systems, refrigeration and air condition systems. The work involves planning maintenance...

This is an on-board study program approved by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA). It is a guided study program and has been structured in a way that enables the candidates to perform and familiarise themselves with on board tasks at operational level. This training should enhance the learning experience, setting out the ground work for Year 2 studies and should be completed during...
