This unit extends your knowledge learnt in ENG321 and focuses on the design of aspects of advanced timber structures such as timber-framed multi-storey residential or commercial buildings. Students will extend prior knowledge of design actions based on current Australian design standards and to evaluate the fire safety and serviceability performance in terms of deflection and vibration of a...

This unit equips international students preparing to undertake an undergraduate course at the University of Tasmania with foundation knowledge to undertake first year Chemistry. It can be used as a pre-requisite for first Year chemistry units at the University of Tasmania. It covers the subject matter covered in Year 12 chemistry and provides a basic understanding of scientific terms and notation...

In this unit you will be introduced to the fundamental elements of design. You will analyse the role of points, lines, planes, surfaces, and solids in design precedents and apply these elements in the creation of your own design artefacts. Through activities, you will learn about proportion, scale, type, and part-to-whole relationships, and develop skills in the critical analysis of objects and...

In this unit you will build upon your background skills in design that will be developed to a professional engineering standard through a series of design projects dealing with different aspects of mechanical and mechatronic design with a specific focus on manufacture. An introduction will be provided to Finite Element Analysis (FEA) that will be used as a basis for calculating the induced...

In this unit students' design and teamwork skills are developed to a professional engineering standard through a series of design projects dealing with different aspects of mechanical and mechatronic design with a specific focus on manufacture. An introduction is provided to Finite Element Analysis (FEA), as a basis for calculating the induced stresses in designed components to determine the...

This unit provides managers with an introduction to a comprehensive range of key microeconomic and macroeconomic topics. The emphasis is on the practical application of basic economic concepts and models to real world business oriented problems. The unit will develop your ability to apply the economic way of thinking to solving problems within a firm and to understand the economic environment in...

This unit provides students with knowledge and understanding of key aspects of electricity grid codes, rules and connection standards. Students will learn how legislation and regulation are used to create rules by which electricity grids must be planned and operated within, and are used to define the requirements of new grid connections, in particular new solar and wind generators, and new energy...

The unit covers fundamental building blocks (cell biology, biochemistry, genetics) and key processes (marine primary and secondary production, and marine microbial ecology) underpinning life in the ocean and introduces students to key organisms (marine algae, invertebrates, vertebrates) of local ecosystems. Students will learn about the dynamics of marine ecosystems and the role of oceanographic...

Genetics & Evolution is a core second year unit for BSc students majoring in Zoology or Plant Science and important for any student studying Biological Sciences. The unit offers an introduction to genetics and evolution, and integrates classical and molecular approaches to understand genetic control, genetic manipulation, and evolutionary processes. The unit reviews classical genetics and...

This unit uses contemporary economic frameworks to explain the long-term economic performance of economies. It examines the role of capitalism, population growth, capital accumulation, technology, innovation, political systems, and institutions in shaping the standard of living in countries. Students who successfully complete this unit will be able to use economic concepts and models to describe...
