This unit focuses on developing technical and practical knowledge through innovative learning methods. It covers a range of topics relevant to civil litigation practice. For example, you will: assess the merits of a case and identify dispute resolution alternatives; advise on costs of litigation; initiate and respond to claims; take and respond to interlocutory and default proceedings; gather and...

Engineered wood products overcome the size, structural and design constraints inherent in solid wood boards through a process of log breakdown and reassembly. This unit provides students wishing to produce and use these products with the principles and practice of the major production processes and design approaches used in Australia and internationally. It introduces the determinants that...

This intermediate unit teaches students about the mechanical systems on-board maritime infrastructure. Students will apply the knowledge obtained in Thermal Engineering and Introduction to Maritime Science, Engineering and Technology to understand systems including gas compression, refrigeration, liquefaction, internal combustion engines, air conditioning and hydraulics. Hands-on laboratory...

In this unit, you further develop and broaden advanced knowledge and skills required to undertake extended journeys in remote natural environment and consolidate your outdoor and environmental education journey skills, environmental knowledge, and outdoor leadership skills. Theory and practical work encourage the development of safe practice, sound judgment, understanding of self, care for others...

The first Professional Experience (PE1) provides pre-service teachers the opportunity to becomefamiliar with the school context. PE1 primarily involves active observation, discussions with thesupervising teacher and initial school experiences. It is conducted over the course of one week (5days) on a full-time basis.Throughout the placement pre-service teachers are required to maintain...

This placement is undertaken in in accordance with the Professional Experience Calendar. All students must be aware of the scheduled Professional Experience dates and be prepared to undertake a placement during the scheduled time.

In this unit, you will, with assistance and supervision, develop a proposal for a small research project. Skills will be developed in identifying relevant research topics, appropriate funding bodies and developing projects. The proposal will include background to the proposed research, aims and objectives, experimental methods and justification for their selection, expected outcomes and benefits,...

The purpose of the unit is to provide knowledge on ship seakeeping and ship manoeuvring. The details behind theoretical and experimental prediction methods are described and students use this information to predict and assess ship seakeeping and manoeuvring performance. Students undertake seakeeping experiments in the AMC Towing Tank to investigate the behaviour of a ship model in waves and to...

This unit explains the organic origins, growth and defects effects on timber performance as a structural material. You will also learn to describe engineered wood products in terms of the manufacturing process and specify timber structures for moisture content, shrinkage and durability. ...

This unit provides the students with the advanced theoretical knowledge required to understand the practical concepts involving machinery, systems and equipment on commercial vessels and related shore based installations. It analyses the mechanical engineering applications of marine machinery and systems, including internal and external combustion engines, pumping and piping systems, lifting gear,...
