This unit is based in the workplace and supports students to become investigators at the level of a Detective. Over a twelve-month period, students will collect evidence to demonstrate their attainment of each Intended Learning Outcome and associated criteria. ...

This unit offers you an opportunity to pursue advanced study in the discipline of employment relations. The unit is particularly focussed on the employment relationship, its regulation and management in contemporary workplaces. The unit introduces theoretical approaches to power, conflict and negotiation in a workplace environment. Demonstrating learning outcomes in this unit requires the...

The unit presents a fundamental introduction to electrical circuits and is the first unit to cover this material for all engineers. It covers basic concepts used in the study of electricity and circuits, including the fundamental laws of electrical phenomena, and methods for the analysis of circuits based on the underlying physics and mathematical models. The circuit theorems are studied and...

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 leads to the development of problem solving skills to determine and identify various machine motions including the kinematics of rotating and translating rigid members...

The main objective of this unit is to develop in students the ability to analyse engineering statics problems in a simple and logical manner through the application of several basic principles. It will consolidate the fundamental concepts of Newton's Mechanics learnt by students in physics courses during their college studies. [It also aims to provide students with the ability to make an informed...

Entrepreneurship is a way of looking at business that is focused on opportunities, creativity, and innovation. It is also about having a passion for doing the things that are important to you, be they related to business or not. It is about challenge and persistence.

This unit introduces students to the major concepts and analytical tools used in the theory and practice of financial management within an Australian context. It is designed to provide students with an understanding of: the scope and nature of the finance function and its role within management; and the theory of finance and how it underpins the evaluation of investment, financing and dividend...

In this unit, you will learn how to measure the abundance and biomass of fish populations to inform sustainable fisheries management. The unit will cover the theory of marine population dynamics and critically discuss the assumptions underpinning a diverse range of fishery assessment approaches applied today - from simple ecological indicators to sophisticated models. During weekly computer labs,...

Antarctica and the Southern Ocean – valued, protected, understood. This mantra was coined originally by the Australian Antarctic Division (the government department with responsibility for Australian activities in the Antarctic) and was also adopted, with modification, by Antarctica New Zealand (New Zealand’s government department). It reflects the vision of these two countries, and the...

This is an independent study project that requires the completion of an extended piece of writing such as a monograph, curriculum development document, professional development program, video, digital media output, or journal article for refereed publication. The design of the project should not involve research methods or publication of findings that require formal University Ethics Approval. ...

This unit introduces you to the concept of information security and the legal and ethical considerations that organisations and individuals must address to implement sound information security. The unit focusses on industry best practice within the context of securing, storing, and sharing information and will explore the complex nature of information security, contextualising it within the...

This subject aims to provide students with an understanding of basic physical concepts in classical mechanics. Understanding of motion, force, energy and momentum is instrumental to the study of other key areas of physics, such as: mechanics, electric and magnetic fields, waves, atoms and nuclei. This unit also aids students in analysing and synthesising information, problem solving and...

This unit explores the need for knowledge to be managed in an organisation, and the tools and strategies that can be used to effectively manage the knowledge assets of that organisation. The unit starts with the identification of knowledge assets in an organisation, followed by knowledge capture and codification in order for knowledge to be shared and integrated into the organisational level. The...
