Continuing to extend the musicianship skills and aesthetic judgement that you are beginning to embody in this unit you will explore and innovate in the context of your developing individual artistic voice. Throughout this unit you will be required to utilise critical thinking to analyse and contextualise your creative practice. You will appraise and synthesise practical and aesthetic aspects of...

In this unit you will experiment in your creative work with boldness and originality and broaden and deepen your individual artistic voice while exhibiting applied contextual knowledge and self-reflection. Throughout this unit you will be required to utilise critical thinking to analyse and explicate your creative work in the context of broader arts practice. You will exhibit leadership in...

Strategic management today is a complex process requiring advanced skills. International expansion, network advantage, and resource optimisation pervade every aspect of this critical management skill. Successful managers need up-to-date guidance in the creation and implementation of effective strategy. This unit is specifically designed to meet these requirements. The design, content, concepts...

Discover how a truck driver reinvented shipping! This unit introduces you to the theory and practice of strategic management, focusing on strategic thinking and decision making in a networked industry.  Throughout your study you will be asked to place yourself in the position of a strategic manager and to use your creativity and ingenuity in mapping out strategic directions that will help...

The unit aims to give students the skills to analyse structures as a foundation skill to the design, construction and supervision of structural projects. Topics include analysis of internal forces, stresses and deflections in statically determinate and indeterminate frames using the force and slope-deflection methods, an introduction to column buckling, and an introduction to structural analysis...

Biology of Plants is a 1st year core unit for students specialising in plant science, agricultural science, and marine science. In Biology of Plants we introduce you to the origin, diversity, structure and internal processes of plants. In lectures and practical classes, we examine the fine structure of plant cells, the organisation of tissues, structure, development and sexual reproduction in...

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...

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...

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...

Each student is required to undertake a substantial high level two-semester project, this unit being the first, within their engineering discipline, which may involve aspects of research and development work, engineering design, literature survey, experimental work, theoretical work, computational studies, simulation, prototype testing and implementation. Industry linked projects are encouraged....
