This unit provides you with an introduction to behavioural economics. Behavioural economics is a discipline at the intersection of economics and psychology that draws on insights and methods from the social sciences to understand better how people actually make decisions. The aim of this unit is not to be mathematically or theoretically thorough. Rather, it focuses on developing a better...

This unit introduces the fundamental concepts of modern communication systems for engineering students specialised in electronics and communication engineering and other electrical engineering streams. Analog communication system concepts are briefly discussed to set the scene for digital communication techniques. Concepts in digital communication include: - Baseband and passband concepts -...

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 is based in the workplace and supports students to become investigators at the level of a Detective. Over a twelve-month period, students will collect evidence to demonstrate their attainment of each Intended Learning Outcome and associated criteria. ...

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....

This unit offers you an opportunity to pursue advanced study in the discipline of employment relations. The unit is particularly focussed on the employment relationship, its regulation and management in contemporary workplaces. The unit introduces theoretical approaches to power, conflict and negotiation in a workplace environment. Demonstrating learning outcomes in this unit requires the...

The unit presents a fundamental introduction to electrical circuits and is the first unit to cover this material for all engineers. It covers basic concepts used in the study of electricity and circuits, including the fundamental laws of electrical phenomena, and methods for the analysis of circuits based on the underlying physics and mathematical models. The circuit theorems are studied and...

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 leads to the development of problem solving skills to determine and identify various machine motions including the kinematics of rotating and translating rigid members...

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...
