This unit builds on first year chemistry and consolidates this theoretical and practical framework. It is one of two 200 level units essential for students who intend to major in chemistry, or who are majoring in disciplines that interface with Chemistry (ie. biotechnology & medical research, biochemistry and biology). Lectures include organic spectroscopy for the structural identification of...

Never before has science communication been so important to public understanding and policy. This unit will establish an understanding of the practical and theoretical aspects in science communication studies. It brings together an overview of professional public science communication, including how it can inform public attitudes, political engagement. The intent of this unit is to enhance...

Building on the skills and knowledge you gained in ZAE105 ‘Introduction to Fabrication’, you will extend your ability to work with additional techniques and elements of digital fabrication, engineering, manufacturing and associated industries by completing a team-based fabrication project. Applying your extended skills relating to lean manufacturing and quality management approaches, you will...

In this unit, you will be introduced to mathematical and statistical methods for analysing scientific, business or technical data to inform and support decision-making. You will explore why data is needed and how it is used to make decisions, including how data are collected, analysed, interpreted and presented, and you will learn and apply a suite of common statistical and mathematical methods...

This unit introduces students to the concepts of modern classical electromagnetic theory based on Maxwell's Equations, starting from the basic observational phenomena of electrostatics and magnetostatics, and working through the invention of classical fields and the application of vector calculus to physical systems, ending with the identification of light as electromagnetic radiation. The...

In this unit you will explore how bacterial characteristics can be used as part of an identification strategy in a clinical microbiology laboratory. Module 1 examines how bacteria regulate their behaviour, communicate and multiply using various metabolic & genetic regulation strategies. Module 2 will focus on the genetics of bacteria. In module 3 you will focus on clinical identification of...

This unit will train you in big data analytics and scientific methods used every day by Antarctic researchers. You will learn how to explore, prepare, transform and display scientific data using open-source Python software assisted by generative AI. You will be introduced to Jupyter notebooks and fundamental computing skills, which are in high demand in the private sector as well as in research...

This core unit provides a broad training in fundamental aspects of population and community ecology and (with other core units in the School of Biological Sciences) forms an essential basis for specialist studies at third year level. This unit focuses on developing students' understanding of ecology and evolution. Lecture topics include: fundamental ecological principles and their evolutionary...

On completion of this unit, students will have the knowledge and skills to be able to demonstrate a comprehension of the principles relating to ships stability and seaworthiness and be able to calculate statical stability of a ship while acknowledging the importance of dynamical stability, making sure that the vessel complies with the IMO stability criteria under all loaded conditions and...

The unit will explore the theoretical and practical issues concerned with establishing and maintaining positive learning environments that allow all students to participate fully in educational opportunities. The unit will explore preventive strategies to establish a positive classroom climate in all education settings; corrective strategies to respond to disruptive behaviours in order to...
