Computers and mathematics are powerful tools for modelling and reasoning about the world around us. They are also powerful tools for reasoning about computation itself. This unit explores the fundamental topics of sets, logic, combinatorics and number theory as they apply to modelling real-world problems, as well as to thinking about the operation of computers and program code. Learn just how...

This unit introduces you to the creative industries and the roles of the so-called 'creative class' and creative entrepreneur in shaping communities, urban development and digital economies in recent decades. By delving critically into the discourse of creative entrepreneurship, you will question what creativity is, how it has been used in the service of capitalism, and what dissenting voices...

Risk and crisis are defining features of contemporary life, and organisations and communities are increasingly planning for climate crises, including strategies for communicating risk and change. Crisis communications and management are relevant to all media content creators. You will learn how to decode time-sensitive information and distil complex information to respond to dynamic scenarios....

This unit will familiarise you with the fundamental concepts of database design and implementation techniques to define, construct and query a database. In this unit you will develop basic skills in data modelling using relational data models and normalisation to ensure data integrity. You will learn how to transform a data model into a relational database design as well as effectively mine data...

In this face-to-face and flexible delivery unit, we develop an understanding of one of the fastest growing types of financial markets - those of derivative securities. They are called derivative securities because they ‘derive’ their value from the value of something else—an underlying right or interest. Underlying rights or interests (or assets in general) include (a) bonds or loans, which...

EMT608 Teaching Digital Technologies is designed specifically for pre-service teachers undertaking a Master of Teaching. It will analyse the distinctions between Digital Literacy (previously ICT) and Digital Technologies and explore how computers can be used, with a major focus on Digital Literacy General Capability or the Digital Technologies subject of the Australian Curriculum. This unit also...

This unit presents the theory, methods and practice of teaching using digital technologies. You will critically reflect on Digital Literacy (previously ICT) based issues in light of modern theorists' views of the transformative effect of Digital Technologies in education, and learn to select and evaluate computer-based learning materials, software and new technologies for educational purposes....

In this unit you will scan the horizon of emerging and disruptive technologies and be introduced to those most likely to become mainstream in the future such as Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence and Virtual and Augmented Reality. You will learn about the functionality of new technologies, their operations, capability and how they are applied in industry, both locally and globally. The impact of...

In this unit you will develop knowledge and skills for solving problems in engineering dynamics based on fundamental theory developed using Newtonian Mechanics with an introductory focus on particle kinematics and kinetics. This is undertaken by applying theory to solve dynamics problems based on Newton Mechanics as well as practical implementation based on undertaking laboratory experiments. The...

This unit introduces students to the use of materials in an engineering context. Students will learn the properties used to classify materials from an engineering perspective, and how these are determined. Students will apply this knowledge to characterise materials using experimental testing and then compare this to supplier data. Using these results, students will identify treatments and...
