The design and analysis of engineering fluid systems and marine vehicles require the prediction of the fluid behaviour and the interaction between the fluid and the system. This requires a good knowledge of fluid dynamic principles and the behaviour under varying boundary and operational conditions. This unit introduces students to numerical methods used to solve applied fluid dynamics and...

This unit is designed for educators with an interest in special and/or inclusive education. The Melbourne Declaration on Educational Goals for Young Australians (MYCEETYA, 2008) and the Disability Standards for Education (2005) make it clear that students with disability should expect that Australian schooling will enable them to become successful learners, confident and creative individuals, and...

As more businesses and scientists adopt geographical information systems (GIS), there is increasing demand for graduates with strong skills in collecting, managing, analysing, and visualising spatial datasets. GIS and spatial analysis skills will be indispensable for almost all careers in geography and geosciences, and students who have advanced skills in this field will be best prepared to enter...

This unit focuses on advanced aspects of spatial data analysis, including practical aspects of developing software scripts for GIS analysis and customisation. This unit will start with a field excursion where you will collect your own point sample data with GNSS, which you will analyse in the unit's computer practicals. The lecture and practicals will cover exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA)...

Through an examination of historical and contemporary philosophical texts, from Western and Eastern traditions, this unit explores the nature of persons and the nature of the world as we experience it. These themes will be pursued by asking questions such as: • Is a mind more than just a brain? • Do we have free will? • Is there an enduring self? • Could the world be an illusion? • Does...

This unit aims to present a coherent view on the role of knowledge and strategic information management in organisations from a multidisciplinary perspective. Students will gain an appreciation of the sources of information, unstructured and semi-structured knowledge and learn current techniques that permit knowledge and information to be applied to perform organisational activities. This unit...

This unit consolidates theoretical and practical skills required for the study of chemistry at a Masters level. Students will gain hands-on experience through a number of synthetic and analytical laboratory experiments, and will gain familiarity with risk assessment procedures, glassware handling, synthetic chemistry techniques, isolation and purification of chemicals, and modern instrumentation...

Everything on Earth and in space has a location. In modern society we use spatial information (i.e., positions), to understand the world and our place in it. The rise of easily-accessible location data via satellite positioning systems has changed the way we live, and significantly influenced how decisions are made at all levels - from the personal, to corporate and government. Satellite...

The theory, processes and activities to identify, monitor and improve strategic information management systems will be investigated. The challenges associated with the implementation and ongoing management of eHealth, effective information management, digital innovation strategies and stakeholder engagement to co-design digital health solutions will be explored. Requirements for organisational,...
