This unit introduces the fundamental principles in the modelling and control of linear time-invariant systems. On completion of this unit you will be able to design a feedback controller. The unit begins with an introduction to feedback control systems with analogy to mechanical and electronic systems. These dynamic systems are described by deriving mathematical models in both the frequency...

This unit concentrates on industrial process dynamics and control. The fundamentals of dynamic systems analysis and controller design studied in Control Systems 1 are built upon to include empirical modelling, and enhanced single loop control strategies. Specific topics that will be covered include: introduction to process control, theoretical models of processes, dynamic response characteristics...

Introduction to fundamentals of control designer concepts. Signal flow graphs will be covered with focus on cascade, parallel, controller canonical, observer canonical and phase variable forms. Frequency domain (PID) designs will be covered using a root locus to improve steady state errors and transient responses. Both cascade and feedback compensators will be considered along with the effects of...

Do you have a family ancestor who served as a soldier or nurse in the First World War? Do you have an old family war diary or set of letters in the proverbial attic? Building upon the skills in the Foundation-level Family History units, Families and War introduces you to researching online military records, and to contextualising diverse experiences of war. The focus is on Australia and Britain...

Tasmania has a distinctive fauna, even in Australian contexts, but it illustrates a range of principles that are globally relevant. This unit will provide students with an understanding of the factors that influence the diversity and distribution of biota, with an emphasis on insular systems (island biogeography) and the roles of abiotic and biotic factors. Some fauna will be approached from the...

This unit develops students’ conceptual knowledge of fluid mechanics and their ability to solve complex problems in fluid mechanics. The governing equations in integral form are explored and applied to a range of practical problems including boundary layers, pipe flows, pump-machine systems, open channel flows, hydraulic jumps, pumps, and turbines. Learning of theory and problem solving skills...

Gender & World explores the shape(s) and impact(s) of gendered assumptions on human interactions in diverse areas of the world and in different historical periods. This unit focuses on how people have acted and do act on the basis of their gendered assumptions, and examines worldly practices which are based on gendered foundations. Gender and sexual difference are examined in their roles as...

CXA701 Guided Research A. This unit is the first research unit in the Master of Laboratory Medicine program. Students will conduct a search of current scientific literature related to an area of biomedical science research currently conducted in the School of Human Life Sciences, critically interpret currently published results and write a literature review of 5000 words. Students will develop a...

This unit is the second research unit in the Master of Laboratory Medicine (Research Sequence). Students will further develop and implement the research plan developed in Guided Research A to explore an issue related to biomedical science research currently conducted in the School of Health Sciences. Students will be required to use and develop research and laboratory skills and scientific...
