This unit combines two very important topics for civil engineers: asset management and road transportation engineering. Asset management addresses the important emerging ¿eld of infrastructure, and in this unit the key principles of asset management will be taught alongside principles of transportation engineering by focusing on road assets. The course will cover the requirements as outlined in...

This unit comprises a six-day field trip, lectures and practical classes on sedimentology, volcanology and tectonics. Comprehensive overviews of (i) sedimentary and volcanic processes and products and (ii) compressional, extensional and transcurrent tectonic settings are related to current interpretations of the geologic evolution of the Earth. The volcanology component covers the links between...

The acquisition of 3D data has become increasingly important for a range of industries such as surveying, mapping, engineering, and environmental monitoring. This unit will provide you with an understanding of the sensors, instruments, and platforms used for 3D data capture, including photogrammetry and laser scanning. You will learn the principles behind these technologies and how they are used...

This unit develops your ability to integrate theoretical knowledge, methodological approaches, and practical skills for undertaking research and practise in human geography and other social science fields. With a focus on researching island places and peoples, you will develop an understanding of core geographical concepts, such as space, place, region, and landscape. You will identify and...

This unit will equip students with an interdisciplinary understanding of energy systems. Its focus is on how science and policy are interacting to shape Australia’s energy futures. The Australian energy sector is experiencing a period of change, prompted by the availability of new energy technologies as well as new societal expectations, desires and behaviours. Learning will focus on how these...

In this unit, students will explore aspects of innovation and entrepreneurship that can grow your business through the creation of new opportunities. Students will investigate disruptive and incremental innovations that may contribute to the development of increased efficiencies in production processes or, assist students to respond to changing customer trends as a market-driven practitioner. In...

In this unit, you will study fisheries biology and population dynamics by exploring how age, growth, reproduction, and life history strategies affect the exploitation of fisheries species. The unit covers methods required for the biological investigation of population dynamics of a species, including computer exercises, and practical field and lab work. You will learn how to conduct fishery...

This second-semester unit provides core knowledge in linear algebra and differential equations. The first half of the unit demonstrates the central role linear algebra plays in mathematics by covering the fundamental concepts of vector spaces and the analysis of linear maps via their realisation as matrices. The second half of the unit focuses on the mathematical description of phenomena that...

This unit introduces you to the theory and practice of competitively managing people in the workplace.  Throughout your study you will be asked to place yourself in the position of a Talent Manager and to use your creativity and ingenuity in mapping out people management strategies that will help Transport and Logistics (T&L) organisations maintain a competitive edge. More specifically, we...
