Risk and crisis are defining features of contemporary life, and organisations and communities are increasingly planning for climate crises, including strategies for communicating risk and change. Crisis communications and management are relevant to all media content creators. You will learn how to decode time-sensitive information and distil complex information to respond to dynamic scenarios....

This unit will familiarise you with the fundamental concepts of database design and implementation techniques to define, construct and query a database. In this unit you will develop basic skills in data modelling using relational data models and normalisation to ensure data integrity. You will learn how to transform a data model into a relational database design as well as effectively mine data...

In this face-to-face and flexible delivery unit, we develop an understanding of one of the fastest growing types of financial markets - those of derivative securities. They are called derivative securities because they ‘derive’ their value from the value of something else—an underlying right or interest. Underlying rights or interests (or assets in general) include (a) bonds or loans, which...

EMT608 Teaching Digital Technologies is designed specifically for pre-service teachers undertaking a Master of Teaching. It will analyse the distinctions between Digital Literacy (previously ICT) and Digital Technologies and explore how computers can be used, with a major focus on Digital Literacy General Capability or the Digital Technologies subject of the Australian Curriculum. This unit also...

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....

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...
