In this unit, students develop the techniques required for the design of surface vessels. They develop the conceptual and analytical skills necessary at a detailed level of ship design with a particular emphasis on design driver identification and initial parameter estimates and the effects of regulatory, practical and economic constraints on design. Students are also introduced to the concepts...

Students completing this unit will identify the considerable changes taking place in shipbuilding practice with the development of technology and the changes in the rules governing their construction and operation. The unit further focuses on the knowledge and skills needed in maintaining the vessel's seaworthiness to Class recommendations. It also incorporates a ship master's perspective in...

This degree invites you to take part in redefining what design means for Tasmania. Our goal is to embed design within the working fabric of the state, to realise a design-led Tasmania. We believe that design extends beyond objects and interfaces, encompassing interactions and systems.With ...

Advanced Ship Structures is an advanced and specialised unit aimed at furthering students’ knowledge and understanding of ship structures. By applying the knowledge gained in previous units such as Mechanics of Solids and Analysis of Machines & Structures and combining it with the concepts gained in Applied Ship Design. Students are introduced to advanced theories and analysis techniques...

Macroeconomics aims to provide students with an understanding of the framework for macroeconomic analysis, including the circular-flow model and aggregate demand aggregate supply model and government macroeconomic goals including price stability, economic growth and full employment. Students will describe how economists measure macroeconomic activity including national income, output, employment,...

This unit aims to provide students with an understanding of the ‘economic problem’, the need for economic decision making and the framework for the microeconomic analysis. This includes analysing how consumers and producers make decisions, and understanding the operation of markets (goods and services, resources, labour markets and internationally traded commodities) and the function of price...

This unit (along with Chemistry 1B in Semester 2) is the required prerequisite for students intending to major in Chemistry and for those intending to proceed to any second-year chemistry unit. The unit builds on the introduction to chemistry given in year 12 and provides a foundation to four of the sub disciplines of chemistry: analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry. Emphasis is...
