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...

In this unit you will develop practical skills that will assist you to communicate with technical staff and tradespeople in the maritime industry. You will apply a range of engineering techniques while gaining the necessary skills to safely and efficiently command, and operate the engines, of small vessels by completing a Certificate II in Maritime Operations (Coxswains Grade 1 Near Coastal). You...

This unit has a strong focus on sustainability, social license, and environmental management related to natural resources; addressing themes such as i) the environmental impacts of mining and associated management challenges; ii) the mineralogical controls on the mobility of metal(loid)s in mine waste and environmental systems (i.e. lakes, wetlands, soils); iii) geophysical characterisation of...

Students selected into one of the following Faculty of Education Honours courses, B.Ed (Hons), B.Ed (Primary) (Hons), B.Ed (Early Childhood) (Hons) course will undertake this unit. This unit is the second in a sequence that aims to prepare and assist students in undertaking a substantial sustained piece of educational research. Students who complete this unit successfully will have: implemented a...

The objective of the unit is to provide students with a detailed understanding of key physiological processes underlying horticultural crop production and pre- and post-harvest management practices that are designed to provide products desired by the market. The focus of the unit is on the physiology of plant growth regulation and the responses of plant regulatory systems to environmental and...

This unit aims to provide you with a range of information and associated skills related to the improvisational expression of musical ideas. There will be an emphasis on immediacy of realisation through a range of situations and experiences where improvisation is required. The focus will be on defining the understanding of improvisation beyond stylistic, genre based and idiomatic constraints in...

International finance refers to a branch of financial economics that deals with monetary systems and economics that surpass national borders. This field focuses on global capital markets through monitoring and examining trade practices across borders, global investment flows and movements in foreign exchange rates. This unit provides you with the skills necessary to understand and address some of...

Thermodynamics is a key area within the marine engineering discipline. The purpose of this unit is to provide the necessary knowledge and skills in understanding the design concepts and applying basic thermodynamic principles to safely operate main and auxiliary machinery. This unit develops skills in managing the efficient operation of such plants and machinery by the marine engineers. The...
