The objective of this unit is to provide a thorough grounding in electromagnetism from both a modern and classical perspective, and to appreciate the mathematical framework through which quantitative problems in these areas can be solved. Applications of physical principles in daily life and technology form a key part of the learning activities in the unit. Students are encouraged to develop...

This unit extends your knowledge learnt in ENG321 and focuses on the design of aspects of advanced timber structures such as timber-framed multi-storey residential or commercial buildings. Students will extend prior knowledge of design actions based on current Australian design standards and to evaluate the fire safety and serviceability performance in terms of deflection and vibration of a...

This unit is about the application of biological principles and ecological science to the problems of conserving the diversity of animals and plants in ecosystems undergoing rapid change. You will gain an understanding of: current threats to biodiversity; tools and strategies to prevent declines and extinctions of species in the wild and maintain functioning ecosystems; current trends and...

In this unit you will be introduced to the fundamental elements of design. You will analyse the role of points, lines, planes, surfaces, and solids in design precedents and apply these elements in the creation of your own design artefacts. Through activities, you will learn about proportion, scale, type, and part-to-whole relationships, and develop skills in the critical analysis of objects and...

In this unit students' design and teamwork skills are developed to a professional engineering standard through a series of design projects dealing with different aspects of mechanical and mechatronic design with a specific focus on manufacture. An introduction is provided to Finite Element Analysis (FEA), as a basis for calculating the induced stresses in designed components to determine the...

Biochemistry is an important biological science, often referred to as the chemistry of life, because biochemical processes are essential in order for all living organisms (e.g. humans, fish and plants) to exist. It is biochemistry that allows the mechanisms behind the processes that occur in biology and physiology to be understood. This unit is designed to introduce you to the fundamental...

Introduces students to diagnostic medical bacteriology. Skills taught include: processing of clinical specimens, recognition of normal microbiota, identification of pathogens and the undertaking of appropriate antimicrobial susceptibility tests. Students learn: aspects of laboratory safety, epidemiology, pathogenesis and control of infectious diseases; antimicrobial agents and development of...

This unit has been designed to systematically introduce the students to the common and diagnostically important fungal, parasitic and viral diseases of major organ systems in humans. The unit content is primarily concerned with laboratory diagnostic aspects of the above diseases, and students will be introduced to a range of relevant fungi and parasites in a diagnostic setting. ...

This Bachelor of Architecture and Built Environments Representing Architecture unit focuses on establishing key ideas and capacities related to the analysis, processing and communication of aspects of design. Only existing at Introductory level, the unit provide the foundation for practice in Architecture and Design fields. Representing Architecture introduces representative works from the...

On completion of this unit, students will have the skills, knowledge, and attributes to undertake shipboard operations relevant to a trainee deck officer as required by the STCW Convention under the supervision of a Deck or Engineer Officer or Chief Integrated Rating. This unit is delivered via classroom theory, tutorials, web-based learning, and practical work in an actual and a simulated...
